***Tottenham Hotspur v Charlton OMT***

Decent performance after the first half hour. Charlton’s B team weren’t up to much but we got through comfortably without really having to break sweat. We don’t always find these types of games easy.

A second home win in the calendar year is a confidence builder before Saturday, and goals for Moore and Savio will do them both a lot of good too.

Onwards and upwards!

I wasn't talking about the goal, that wasn't his fault. The goal scorer span off LWB. I'm talking about the attack near the end where he just stood still and the attacker dribbled past him with ease, I see this happen all the time so it's not a fitness issue. He defends in the box very poorly and is consistent at doing that.

I'll have to watch again but I am inclined to stick with my prognosis simply based on the fact you're calling him out as I know you are not a fan! You ARE taking man not ball on VdV, right?

Overall pretty decent performance. We had to warm into it and probably needed Moore's goal to break the tension button e we got the first one you could see the flow begin.

Fernandes looks so classy, even playing slightly ahead of where I'd want to see him showed lots of nice touches and really pushes the ball into the right spaces at the right time. Moore really started to shine once he got his goal, and to be fair he was already really driving at his defender so his endeavour eventually paid off. Obviously nice to see Savio making and impact and scoring on his debut, that will help quieten the naysayers for a while but he has to continue that impact this weekend.

I mean, only is reactionism and judgement is something people have a lust for...(in our club's case, perhaps!)...what I saw second-half was what De Zerbi wants to build...I'll save the rest for the Newcash OMT!

I don't really understand what you mean by taking the man. I've got no beef with with him, I'm just concerned about his defending, he just makes so many mistakes from positioning to decisions made when he's settled in the box.

damn right, Davies and Kinsky didn't waste their summer, Danso phoned it in, Porro was the only other messer

Mate.
Never change.
From your epic avatar (one of the great philosophical moments in football and one that cemented Zizou's legend with me) to your stoic Barnstoneworth United attitude, I love ya!

...my point was much more that until we see him in a properly-coached and prepared system with a settled defence around him, I would not be using history and the last minute of his first 25 mins this season as a stick to beat him with.

Let's face facts. Last season he was one of the players most crunched by a bricky manager who bluffed that he had us defensively tighter when he did not and flipped the entire system VdV was signed to play.

How about giving his class and quality some time.

facts are, TF did, we were objectively better defensively, look at the xga stats alone (I mean, is there any other stat that matters, no there isn't), the average over the season was halved compared to the previous season

One manager lifted a European cup, the other one lifted an arsenal paper cup.
