    Conor Gallagher

    If we are really continuing to be linked to him then it's a bit underwhelming (and expensive) to be honest. Would he get into Man City or Liverpool's starting eleven for example? Do we have any more ITK on this?

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    Ange has stated that long term team development is much more important than immediate results and CL qualification therefore I'm not sure why PEH is playing if he's not going to stay - unless it's just to piss Bissouma, Bentancur et al off and make them work harder to improve their form.

    I think he worked well with Kane and misses that interplay as does Son.

    This is SC remember - he has no time to adapt and must be world class yesterday!

    Alejandro "Álex" Baena Rodríguez

    Good post. I guess we all draw the line somewhere but where? I'd take a peak level Suarez for example (despite the biting etc.) but Greenwood?

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Could someone with more coaching experience than me explain the 'revelation' by Dier that Conte did 10 vs 0 'walk throughs' in training but Ange doesn't. I would have thought that was an important part of 'tactical' training.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    To be fair he did do quite a bit of half-hearted jogging, wasn't winning ball or 50/50s and seemed reluctant to either drive into space or pass more than 10 yards. Something is up with him. Being better than PEH isn't a very high bar.

    He doesn't look that fit to me which is a bit of a worry since even when fit he's a bit of a tank.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    Which would suggest that our full backs and the back four system as a whole are the ones that need to do some work. Hopefully the coaches are on to it. Do we have a defensive coach and a set piece coach?

    Match Threads Spurs vs Forest

    Ange would have learnt a lot about his players today. The lack of control was concerning. It's a bit worrying that PEH has become a CM option again in this team. Looks like we may need to spend...quite a lot.

    Yep - Nico Williams, Mitoma and Olise would be fine. A fiver for each one? :sneaky:

    Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs

    Only taking 13 shots given the wet conditions was a bit odd. If Maddison feels the need to drop so deep just to get the ball rolling then are Bissouma and Bentacour doing their jobs properly in terms of progressing the ball forward? If Son is playing as a striker then surely Maddison should be...

    There are ways of dealing with Antonio on their corners and this should have been dealt with at half time. West Ham know they just need to get a corner to create a scoring opportunity.

    Maddison too deep. Don't see what Bissouma is offering really. Richy on to hold the ball up and to help defend their corners. Sarr on to provide a bit of drive.

    We had a chance to buy him years ago from Hull and didn't bother - the same with Grealish and Maddison when they were with Villa and Norwich.

    Agreee xcept Maguire cannot start and should arguably not even be in the squad. He is not at the required level, and as we saw against Brazil is a mistake waiting to happen.

    Rest up, Madders. It's only a friendly.

    Sorry have I missed something - does regularly Konsa play right back for Villa and is he putting in world class performances? Would rather see Rico Lewis. Why not at least try the left footer Branthwaite instead of Dunk?
