really hard to judge him when the rest of the team is so poor as well. same goes for any player right now. nothing's working.
That's poor considering we paid £60m for someone who is not ready..Apparently he nearly didn’t make it as a pro due to his conditioning / weight. He’s one of those players who will balloon once he stops playing. I don’t think we’ll see the best of him for quite some time, maybe even next season.
I don’t think it’s fitness.
He’s just defensively lazy and has no discipline.
Why this wasn’t identified as a problem when we rely on an aggressive pressing strategy is a mystery.
He looks fantastic on the ball but off it he’s a liability.
Yes totally agree, defensively he is lazy, lacks discipline and to top that off he clearly has fitness issues. Maybe the big transfer has gone to his head, but currently looks nothing like a 60 million + player.I don’t think it’s fitness.

Son, Lucas, Modric, Bale, on and on.I understand that this whole “new signing” business has the whiff of a novel experience for Spurs supporters, but if you dig really, really, really deep into your memory to the last time we had one come into the first XI you may find that it takes a bit of time for them to settle completely. Even those who have a big price tag attached to them.
What has he done to convince us otherwise.Oh, cool. So now folks on here are *incredibly lazily* going to say he’s not good enough, then. That was predictable.
