I dont think anybody living outside of Brazil has the right or the firsthand knowledge to critisize his political beliefs. Brazil is historically a culturally broken and corrupt system. And it is perfectly reasonably for a massive populist reaction against Brazil's political culture.

Jair Bolsonaro, just like Trump offers that counter movement option. I dont agree with either of the solutions they offer, but I dont blame anybody for actively searching for a solution rather than sitting back and accepting the same old same old as your country and community slowly degrade into mass squalor as all your friends and family suffer.

I took him out of my fantasy team so he’s guaranteed a hat-trick. You’re welcome (y)

I think he's best off the right side, but understand why Poch has put him on the left to rotate and give he and Son a rotation.

He's got some crazy hops.
Yeah he's an amazing athlete with great balance.

Watching spurs is pretty dull atm... without him it would be noticeably worse... Playing on the left limits him a little though - if he receives it there he tends to run into the middle a lot. In his standout game against united he was making devastating runs on the right side.

Cannot believe how good this guy is and how we picked him up for 25 mil. In today's money that's one hell of a signing.

I think it escapes a lot of people's attention how often he wins us possession, often in dangerous areas, or manages to rescue a bad pass into him that would otherwise turn over possession. Not only the best dribbler / ball carrier in the team but a very hard worker.

Agreed, needs to improve end product though.

His pace from a standing start to skip away from players is incredible. Agree his end product needs to get better, and I think with time it will. He is threatening to score an all time worldy of a goal at some stage with those mazy dribbling runs. Often a last ditch leg stuck out denies him a seat at the table of all time great Spurs goals. It might come though!!

I think he needs to improve his awareness of his teammates, which will improve with time.

Bit of a conundrum even though been one of my favourite players this season.First PL game he doesn’t start is our best performance. Still feel him and Son could be very much like mane/Salah. But that means dele/eriksen in a 3 behind.
