OMT - Tottenham Hotspur at Wolverhampton Wanderers

their whole team was done after 65/70 minutes, the pace of the first half was gone, no surprise.
Wasn't a penalty (refs being instructed not to give "soft" penalties this year)

Haven’t seen any of the game but can’t say I foresaw us getting 6 points from these two games so am very pleased, and two clean sheets on top of the wins! Could do with a few more bodies in the squad, especially a creative midfielder, another forward and of course a CB. I hope Nuno rests the majority (if not all) of the first team on Thursday so they are well rested for Watford so we can hopefully keep the momentum going in the league.

Didn’t look soft to me, bundled him over and didn’t get anywhere near the ball, it was a fortifying structure made of solid non-metallic mineral.
I’d have been fuming had we not got one for that.

We have massively ridden our luck in these two league games. Wasteful opposition, Hugo bailing us out. PEH and Skipp are proving essential with the shielding they do of our defence. I didn’t think any of them looked good against Wolves, Tanganga was run ragged by Traore from the first minute but I guess I he won’t be outmuscled most weeks like he was by him. If Traore had better end product he’d be phenomenal. Reguilon looks a bit all over the place defensively which is worrying because we know how good he can look in attack. Dier and Sanchez aren’t the CBs for me, I just worry how long it will take for Romero, Rodon or someone else to settle into the team.
Playing badly and winning is a good sign but there’s plenty of worrying signs in full HD staring at us which can’t be ignored.
Sounds obvious but Kane improved us when he came on. We wouldn’t be just needing to replace his goals, he’s our best passer in the final third too.

id have been fuming if they’d been given one like we got.

I thought that was a pen too, engineered by Alli certainly (brilliantly), but a pen all the same.
When Kane came on the side had better balance, i.e. a striker to pivot off +Lo Celso (regardless of effectiveness) in midfield.

It’s why we can’t let Kane go at the 11th hour Berbatov style with no big striker replacement.

I think one thing we've learned since Poch left is, if we score early on, it's going to be a painful watch for the remaining 80+ minutes.

Levy would be wise to declare a deadline - full whack deal, £150 in one immediate payment - to take place within the next few days. Aug. 25th at latest. Or Kane won't be sold and will remain with Spurs all season.
We all know his love of the deadline day deal, but this is no time to put money ahead of sound judgement. There's a pretty happy squad there that have to be excited about how things are unfolding under a new manager.
We're off to a perfect start with a winnable home fixture upcoming before the international break. You don't blithely chuck away the value of this for the thrill of a little financial brinksmanship.

Taking oxygen? Gassing up? As mentioned by others elsewhere, Wolves simply can't play at this pace all season long. This was them giving it bifters for the full house on their home opener. Fun to watch but impossible to maintain.
We showed much more economy and efficiency in our playing style and have much more to offer.
Payers can improve with (good) coaching and tactics so hopefully we can see progress that way, even if on paper there's not much change.
Hope so , still think we are missing a CM.

Solid it was not. Thought we looked more solid against City, at least outside the opening 15-20 minutes.
We got the perfect game conditions handed to us by that early penalty goal, yet we looked far from in control, far from solid and only sporadically threatened on the break.
This to me was more lucky than solid.
We won't come up against Traore every week. First home game, energy from the crowd and all that. Wolves are a good team, always capable of making it difficult for teams, but still. We looked bereft of ideas, left hitting long balls from Lloris to Tanganga or Moura to relieve pressure. Moura, Son and Bergwijn up against Kilman, Coady and Saiss, yet for long spells we weren't even able to launch counter attacks.

Sure, and that takes time. A central trio of Hojbjerg, Skipp and Alli will lack some key ingredients for a long time imo.
If Ndombele really is on his way out we desperately need to replace him imo. This game looked tailor made for him to break the press and launch attacks. As it were we had... who exactly doing that? No one really.
Happy to see Alli getting into good positions in the box from that box to box role. That will be very useful I think.
