Of their squad i think I'd take ven der ven, Kulusevski, Bissouma (personal life aside) and possibly Bentancour.

Well you'd think that any team with Bissouma and Bentacour in it would be quite difficult to play vertical passes through and create lots of chances. Far from it.

They have moved Antiques Roadshow for this . Watching Spurs is like thinking you have something worth 50 grand and the old grey haired prick tells you it is worth a tenner , same level of gutted

Watching the highlights again, JJ while he had a super game driving forward from the left he really needs to look up more and square the ball. Even the goal he scored was straight at the keeper who made an error. I imagine that will be part of the video review today because we could and should have scored many more last night.

Van der van and Kulusevski, maybe Porrow.

2019 - Spurs played in the CL final we played in the Division 2 playoff final. A lot can change in 5/6 years.

I was there on the opening day a few months later enjoying the corporate in the gleaming new stadium, they had a £65m new signing (that they've just given away) and it felt like we were light years away from ever competing with them again.

If by the last one you mean the Belgian Detective then yes I would agree.

Bergvall should have been yellowed for when he hitched a ride on Malen. But the ref finally booked him for persistent fouling on a very innocuous challenge, so if he thought it was just for that I can see why the look. Not sure if the ref did the usual point around the pitch explanation or not.
It was young Mr Gray who took a ride on Donyall's back but yes Bergvall should have had two yellows long before he had one.

100% that is by far and away the best domestic cup performance under Unai -
Yes but it's a very low bar.

I think we should actively look at getting Kulusevski if there's a hint he would come.  He's a great player.

The away fans rammed off in the upper north with the first 10 or so rows blanked off worked better than giving away all the Witton upper .

They paid more for a player than our owners paid for our club.

We don’t need to accept simplistic media narratives. Call it out for what it is!

I was on the Holte yesterday. I almost wanted the game to go into extra time, just to see more of Asensio, Rogers and Rashford combining. Ah well, I'll just have to wait until Saturday.
