I htink we're switching from a 3-4-3 in possession and a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 out of possession, but it is very fluid.

Having told everyone pre game that the stadium was contactless only, all the catering is closed and they've just got a burger van outside.... which is cash only :cautious:

Very promising performance so far though. Bergwijn in particular looks like he's building in confidence again. Hopefully some more goals down our end second half!

We've been told that he hates Kane but I've seen plenty of photos with them together that shows everything is fine. Including this one.

Somethings were said on here about him which may not even be true yet we are getting a large part of the fanbase to hate him based on this, which is hugely unfair.

Have you ever been told that someone was a prick before only to get to know them and realise it was just a dumb rumour made up by someone who doesn't even know them or their story.

I think it's damaging and is completely unproductive to hate on players because someone said something on the internet.

I don't know about any hate angle between Winks and Kane, I only know that Lamela, Wanyama and Winks himself have all confirmed that Winks is a diva/moaner. That in itself does't sit right with me.

Would love to see Devine in for Winks and no other changes at the half time. Just for fun.

Good to hear that Skipp is bossing Colchester Utd atm but he’s got a long long way to go until he bosses CL games like Winks did…
Not trying to be a Winks hater here, but you can count the CL games Wink 'bossed' on about 1 finger. He's only really 'bossed' about 5 games in his entire spurs career.

Not saying he's shit - he just isnt the type of player to really grab games by the scruff of the neck.

For the first 20-30 mins Bergwijn’s movement was outstanding but he’s still suffering from poor decision making. Yes he got an assist and should have had a pen but his end product is still frustrating. I hope it’s just a case of low confidence as his reading of the game (build up) is excellent.

I'm more happy to see him taking on and beating men again having looked very hesitant to try anything at times last season

Everyone has a friend who is a 'diva'. Doesn't mean they are a bad person or shit stirrer.

One thing I like is a winger hugging the touchline beating his man and crossing.

Another thing I like is a long diagonal to switch the play.

Lots to take out of this one so far

Winks personality is up to debates, but really, I think there's no denial that he's a PL bottom half player at best, if not a championship player. He's so plain in his abilities you really wouldn't notice him if he's off the field.

..and I think this is fair criticism/opinion

I really hope it's just a confidence thing and that Jose simply wasn't the right manager for him, as he seems to have progressively got worse and worse since arriving after looking really quite promising to start with.

I think there's a real player in there - he just needs to believe in himself.

I'll trust Trix (and other ITKs that likely know more than us) over a few stock images on an airplane
