    Some of the clips in that documentary that was posted yesterday show his mentality

    Wearing a boot because you broke your ankle? No excuse not to come in and do gym work
    Had ankle surgery in the last week? Doesn't stop you teaching Yang and Moore how to throw medicine balls properly

    Ipswich are tearing into us and defensively we're looking ragged. Even Gray has looked out of sorts.

    To be fair it’s why I don’t dig out Porro as much as some, I think it’s how the system wants the RB to be; so high up and out of position there’s always going to be balls in behind.

    Or the issue has been Johnson all along...

    Yet again, I wonder what Spurs do in training defensively. Had two weeks to work on things and injuries are easing up yet still set up wrong and far too easy to play against.

    The main issue is we don't seem to have any solution for when opponents press our back line, even though that's been an issue all season long and plenty of teams have exploited it

    Certainly need one of Bergvall or Bentancur dropping a few yards deeper to offer an out ball

    Lucky we have players back now and had a week to recover, can see it’s making all the difference

    Just realised Johnson’s playing…

    Because he got a yellow card.

    Johnson's first contribution - an unnecessary yellow card!

    Brilliant by Gray and Sonny - and a good finish.

    Lovely run in behind from Sonny too. Should’ve had two assists last week but his teammates fluffed them.
