1-0 HT. Been a very tight game. We've had more possession, but they've had more chances and crosses into dangerous areas.
It'll be tough to manage the second half and we need to consider the low sun. Didn't do enough to use it in our favour.
 
We haven't played badly but retreated into a shell after going ahead. Reminiscent of Conte at times.

The FBs and Kulusevski are running the game for us at the moment.

Bissouma has grown into the game but Bentancur is just anonymous most of the time.

Son poor. Mikey at least trying to get things going. Richarlison is... Richarlison.

Gillet is an atrocious referee. Shocking even by the PL's woeful standard.

Brentford recorded 28 touches in the opposition's box in the first half, their fourth-most ever in the opening half of a Premier League match.

There’s something to ponder over that stat regarding our own team
 
I know Richarlison gets some stick on here but his work rate can’t be questioned. I actually rate the guy I’m sure I’ll get pelters on here but when he plays he offers to the team.

Decent 1st half from Spurs defensively good ,Brentford haven’t really troubled us.

Just loving seeing Archie Gray he is something special.

Solanke offers the same work rate but actually has a brain and can do things with the ball.

£60m you need more from a player than just running around a lot.

I like him

just isn’t scoring enough for the position he occupies

If the price tag was 30 mill

everyone would love him

that’s on Levy though, Richarlison just another victim of high price tag low wage methodology
 
If Johnson was on the pitch we'd likely get a second, given the sheer volume of balls across the box we've played

WindyCOYS's hypothesis that we've forsaken technique for physicality in midfield is looking more accurate by the week, mind
