Only diiference is its Bissouma at base instead of Bentancur

I get the feeling Biss is the better true six (when he's at it)

Bentancur a better user of the ball, maybe better beside a conventional six, or just ahead
Think you’re right, Biss more a traditional 6 whereas Bentancur better on the ball but leaves us more open defensively.

For some reason I thought we were the 2pm kick off on Sky.

Told the missus not to make plans. Better go hide in the back bedroom and find a stream......
Or make a last minute reservation to a lunch spot and bank the credit for when Spurs are on Sky. You got to play the long game.

Love that Moore is starting.

This won’t be an easy game but we really need to get the 3pts.

Hopefully we can get an early goal as their crowd might start to turn.

Worst case we just bring super Timo on to save the game ;)

Who was the last academy lad we were this excited about seeing? It's a tremendous feeling. Kane obviously the best but there was this air of novelty and surprise about how good he was, whereas Mikey feels like seeing the start of a star.

I think most people were close to this level for Edwards - kind of a get your bum off the seat kind of player - combined with Poch comparing him to Messi.

Wilson's absence might be a consequence of that knock he took at the end on Thursday but he was in yesterday's training video so let's hope he hasn't picked something up between matches. It does seem a bit strange to train since that match and not even be in the squad today...

Here’s hoping reverting to playing both Kulusevski and Maddison works considering it bombed in the second half against Brighton and the first half against West Ham. It’s infuriating when we see a change (Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski) and we flourished only to revert back to the set up that leaves us way too open.
It definitely didn’t bomb against West Ham, we’d still been by far the better side. The change worked though so interesting to see him go back to madders

Love the fact Ange has out-flummoxed the Spurs Community.
Done a doozy on plenty on here.

Love the fact he’s not predictable. Keeps the season interesting 😄

Problem is with Poch, there was never a youth player that would get a chance after the initial lot and with Ugo passing away, imo we lost a generation of talented players

I would go with raw ability(not an academy player) it would have to be Taarabt

He had that cameo against West Ham and we just wanted to see more

A Premier League Start for a 17 year old. Delighted for the young lad, really happy that we have a manger that's brave enough to let the youth play.

Interesting that you say that - my view is that he always takes the view as to what will be best in the long run if he sticks to his guns. It’s about allowing the players to take risks, and make mistakes, trusting that the approach is the right way for long term success.

There’s a lot of study on that topic that suggests it’s the right approach in a lot of areas - from sport to learning a new language. Risk taking and making mistakes being rhe best way to achieve potential.

It’s great to see
This is a common misconception. It's not the making of mistakes, it's the risk taking that creates success. And so as a manager, you need to create an environment in which the players are happy to take risks and not be afraid of making mistakes. And then if mistakes are made, that the feedback is clear and constructive. We actually learn a lot more from positive reinforcement of positive actions, but it's the mistakes we dwell on. I've always loved the way Ange talks so much about giving the players feedback, this is the key to progress, whether it's feedback to 'successes' or 'failures'. Let's hope he's giving a lot more of the former after today's game.
