    1-0. Son. Lovely move. Very unselfish from Bergwijn.
    Another fantastic ball round the corner from Moura.

    Good to see our ban on receiving penalties is as strong as ever <laugh>

    If anyone wants to watch this, it's on the front page of the Spurs site, for some reason.

    Skipp, Son and Moura looking sharp.

    And Dele has seriously upped his work rate.

    Bergwijn has grown into the game after looking like he was lacking confidence.

    Winks and Dier showing why people would happily see them sold tbh.

    We've definitely been working on this combination in training...

    Paskotski looks more comfortable at right-back than our right-backs.

    I'm pretty sure I look more comfortable at RB than our RBs

    Skipp is constantly making himself available, demanding the ball, good passes without attempting the Hollywood passes all the time and winning the ball back.
    Could be a very important player this season.

    Although winks has lost the ball a few times he is continually looking for a forward pass which is an improvement...maybe another sign that Nuno wants more attractive football than we have been playing recently

    Awful defending from Dier. Why let that bounce? Really amateurish.

    This was one of my most frequent gripes last season: Hojbjerg would make himself available for passes from anyone so we could get the ball moving, Winks would make himself available to get the ball standing still, but Sissoko never did

    While I am sure that a lot of that was for tactical reasons as he was tasked with babysitting Aurier, but when we're limiting our number of out balls from the back we end up hemming ourselves in our own half

    3-0. Alli. Another lovely ball round the corner, this time from Paskotski. Assist from Son.

    Either a great ball from Paskotsi to release Son for the cross, or one hell of a fluke that led to Dele's goal

    3-0 HT. Played some nice stuff. Decent energy about most of it. Still looked dodgy at the back at times.

    It's only a pre season friendly v a league two side but it's good to see the workrate of the team.

    Lots of movement off the ball, tracking back and closing down.

    Would love to see this style and commitment in the season

    Dele has been building his physique which should help his confidence and strength on the ball.

    Strong first half from Paskotsi, Skipp, Lucas, Son and Bergwijn.

    Lucas is definitely much better as a more central figure.
