Sad I won't get to see Kulu do his stuff for a month. Classy player. Clear to see what we missed while he was out.

Yes but it seems counterintuitive to put a back line that you don't trust under more pressure by setting up not to press, dominate possession and as a result be forced to sit deep?
Yeah but I think some of that is Conte, some of it is the players themselves. It's difficult to point the finger at which is the bigger reason we drop so deep.

If he gets a couple of defenders in in January, and we are still doing it I'll be worried, but I think that's why he wants experience in there tbh. To sort them out whilst in play.

Thought Bissouma looked very good there in the middle. Ghosted by players several times, drew Adams second yellow, made a few typical challenges where only he would win the ball back. Think he’ll become a great player for us.

Well, fair fucking play for digging that second half performance out. Our defending first half was terrible but having the resolve to win that when they’re all knackered is admirable. Glad it’s the World Cup break now

Imagine what this team will be like in second half of season when Conte takes them off the leash and let them go. ?
And we get all our stars back in shape... Romero just makes people around him better... Kulu showed today how massively important he is... and I'm in looove with Bentancur... Richy will be better and more important as he settles in... thank you Conte for bringing in these players ??

If only we had a decent defence we might actually be pretty good. I know AC likes his wing-backs but we really need to be prioritising 2 new top quality CBs in Jan. And a new keeper in the summer.

We need to just put every penny into improving the defence in January. Just keep our fingers crossed Kulu stays fit and with Son Kane and Richy they can get us to the summer. Defensively right now we’re awful, we can’t keep having to chase games. Not only will it not work constantly but we’re using far too much energy doing it.

I absolutely love and despise football at the same time.

What a rollercoaster of a game and what player Kulu and Bentancour are.

We are still reliant on Kulu - a creative attacking player. That's what Spurs thrive on, good attacking play. Our defence is poop, and being defensive-minded adds unnecessary pressure to our unreliable defence. The January transfer window is crucial, but I am not optimistic that we will get good signings. I am still not convinced by Conte, though. I will give him the season before passing any judgment.

Great result in the end, it’s amazing what having Richarlison and Kulusevski available can do! Now please for the love of god sign some decent defenders so we can have a strong second half of the season!
