    Pedro Porro

    A midweek off and imo we had the good quality version of Porro back. Loads of intensity, good on the ball. Sometimes in trouble defensively, but more down to him being in difficult to defend situations rather than him not defending well.

    Kevin Danso

    Yeah, looks good. Has a bit of everything it seems, big, strong, fairly quick, quite good on the ball. Seems to fit the role well and comes in with some experience too. Looks a bit "unpolished" at times imo, not sure if that's just settling in or part of how he'll typically play/look. Not sure...

    Yang Min-Hyeok

    Absolutely. And quite a few players who have ended up being very good weren't at that level yet at 18. Fairly big step up from the K-League to the Championship. If he continues to take that in his stride it's a very promising sign. A good half a season there will probably also mean there won't...

    Ange departs

    Agreed. Genuinely think this is the strongest squad we've had since... Can't even remember. Tel, Danso and Kinsky just adding to the strength Solanke, Gray and Bergvall have given us. Personally I think Odobert will be another one, we've just had to wait because of his injuries. The difference...

    How do you see those overloads on our full backs? To me they mostly seem to happen in counter attacking situations and when our press is bypassed. Assuming Ange doesn't want to send fewer players forward or change that we press high the "fixes" for me is reducing the number of turnovers...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United ** 16/2/25 - KO at 4.30pm.

    Hopefully him needing some time to settle in, develop etc means it's more likely he'll want to stay here beyond this season rather than returning to Bayern or looking for a move elsewhere. I think he's a really special talent. Not saying we should sign him permanently however he performs for...

    Wilson Odobert

    Yeah, that's probably the same situation I thought of. Just looked utterly confident, I'm just going to do my thing kind of attitude. Great to see.

    Djed Spence

    Think Udogie and Spence would be good as a "partnership", but also think we'd miss Porro. Of the three of them he has the best ball striking, passing, crossing. Udogie and Spence are a bit similar. Spence is amazing with his dribbling and ball carrying though. Combined with strength and speed...

    Tactics Thread

    Ange does adjust though... I guess part of the question is have we seen the "final form" of Angeball (accepting that there's probably no such thing). Or will he think that's there's ways to use and get better within his system and approach we're yet to see. Imo quite a few of our issues would...

    Yang Min-Hyeok

    And then the question can he also produce end product... Johnson is a bit of an "end product merchant", of all the types of merchant to be that's a rather good one. Good to see Yang get off to a decent start at QPR. Hopefully will keep getting good game time as a result of that. Clearly has...

    Djed Spence

    Agreed. Top level performance. Still remains to be seen if he would be even better on the right imo. To me looking a natural on the left now. Good problem to have. Assuming we stick with Ange and this system means that if we want to add another full back in the summer either side would be...

    Injuries

    We have improved our football infrastructure massively going back quite a few years now. Think it was the training facilities that were described as world class some way back. There still being a need for further development shouldn't be a surprise perhaps. A lot happening on the sports science...

    Ange departs

    It's only really by the comparison of what's been going on with injuries for the last couple of months that our current injury situation looks even decent. 3 obvious and important starters missing in Romero, VdV and Solanke. Johnson who did start most games only ready for a sub appearance...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Man United ** 16/2/25 - KO at 4.30pm.

    Not quite sure what people expected. I expected an improved performance (players back and some rest). Thought we got that. For significant stretches we looked rather comfortable, but then there were moments when they broke were we looked too vulnerable. Also the period in the second half when...

    Injuries

    Our depth is getting really good now. Just that our injuries have been ridiculous for a while.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Good to have him back and good to have him back looking close to his best. Think there was a situation early on where he could have come off his line to get to a through ball, but other than that he didn't miss a beat.

    Son Heung-Min

    Agreed. Had we had fully fit and match fit options on the bench I think he would have been subbed earlier. But looked better and fresher, no surprise.

    Micky van de Ven

    Said it before, but physically he reminds me a bit of Bale. That combination of acceleration, top speed, strength and height. Not controversial to say that a player like that will often be more vulnerable to some muscle injuries. Good to see the club take steps to mitigate that, hopefully...

    Wilson Odobert

    Absolutely. Just a cameo, but still showed a bit of what we've missed out on when he's been injured. Good to see him looking fresh and fit even if it was just for a couple of minutes. Looked confident too. Those things can take a bit of time after a lengthy injury. Hopefully he'll get more...

    James Maddison

    Very good to have him back. With some exceptions perhaps even in his not so good performances he's still been important to us imo. And when he's good he's really good.
