Incredible isn't it?Royal was poor?!
What?
Second most touches behind Biss, a goal, and an imperious second half defensive display = "poor"
spurs fans eh

You missed him pushing a low cross straight into play 2nd half? How about when he almost got lobbed a la Seaman? And then almost gave a penalty away next action? Distribution was poor more than twice too.2 poor distributions is all I can remember, no chance for the goals (would have saved the second but for the deflection). A number of decisive runs out to clear. Hardly put a foot wrong
Cannot understand what you're referring to
Times change. He doesn't take players on anymore or try to whip the ball in, his game is all about goals and when he doesn't score he doesn't offer much unfortunately.He’s played there his whole career virtually
I think some criticism is fair but like you say, it’s his first proper game. He looks nervous on the ball and still hasn’t eradicated knocking the ball out into dangerous areas yet.For his debut and first PL game, Vicario was fine. Plenty of room for improvement, of course, but if you're slating him already you need you head checked
He started by publicly announcing that he wasn't "tactically" good enough and, when he did deign to play him, Conte's way of playing completely snuffed out the best parts of his gameWhat in the name of god was Conte telling Bissouma before games??? Different player today.
I'd be tempted to try Porro in the Kul role. I think he would offer quite a bit there.
Woke City.Will be really interesting to see how we cope against sides who actually want to play us as well. I thought we did well with very limited space. Brentford get a lot of credit but honestly they’re like a Waitrose Stoke City.
I mean, he was quite poor defensively in the first half.Incredible isn't it?

Shout out to Madders. Boy is class.
And one of those passes which went out was really Emerson misreading it, nothing wrong with the pass.2 poor distributions is all I can remember, no chance for the goals (would have saved the second but for the deflection). A number of decisive runs out to clear. Hardly put a foot wrong

Edit: Oh and he spread himself really well to put off Muembo for the 'sitter' he missed at the far post
How was he "at fault"? He got beaten by good player while out of position. It happens.He was at fault for their 2nd goal, was beaten by Henry on other occasions also and was often sloppy in possession. I’m a fan of his and think he suits AP’s system but I thought today was a below par performance from him.
Agree. I was thinking Harry would have hit that with has left. Harry would have got a shot away there.My main issue with Richi today was how slowly he shifted the ball between his feet. When chances come against a compact defence, either use your wrong foot or move it quicker. We've been spoiled with Harry, who was better than almost everyone in the game at it.
I agree. I bit shaky the first minutes - but recovered well.Have to disagree on Royal. I thought Emerson looked great. System suits him.
I guess we disagreeHow was he "at fault"? He got beaten by good player while out of position. It happens.
second half he didn't lose a 50/50 and provided cover o Udogie's side several times.
Weird take
He got beaten twice by a good player - also he play's inverted so is out of position.I mean, he was quite poor defensively in the first half.
See the post elsewhere where they said he's never had anything Spurs related on his IG.Considering we had 3 debuts in defence and then lost Romero in the first half., I thought it was a decent performance. Keeper not convincing just yet.
Brentford is a hard place to go. In the last two seasons they have battered Arsenal and Man Utd in the first home game. They just defend and then counter attack with pace and balls over the full backs.
No Dier in the squad. Apparently taken anything Spurs related off his IG. Could he be off.
