    So not did Walker try punching away the cross, his hospital ball is what led to it happening in the first place

    Here's an odd thing: I've seen a few people on here and elsewhere saying that Kulusevski is slow, yet according to OptaData he (and Hojbjerg) were second only to Son in terms of pace yesterday, both being clocked at 32.4kph while Son managed to his 35.3kph

    In other words, there were at least three of our players on the pitch that were quicker than my first car...

    He seems a little slow to get off the mark, at times.

    So, time to analyse the Pep-tic ulcer ...

    Kane had four good chances to score :

    1. Two he did
    2. One was disallowed for marginal offside
    3. One you would expect him to score

    I guess Pep the messiah sets his standards for
    strikers so high that #3 means Kane is useless.

    You cannot judge players using 'Azza time' .

    The speed of the brain is often more important than the speed of the legs.

    Conte's system doesn't really work for players who can run at 45mph but are sucking air after 75 minutes - but it does work for players who can hit 30+mph consistently and keep hitting it for 90 minutes+ without fail

    That's exactly why Kulusevski was brought in (and also why Conte wanted him at Inter) just as much as why Hojbjerg, Skipp and Winks all fit into our squad while Ndombele certainly doesn't, and it really has to be said that maybe Paratici was barking up the wrong tree trying to get Traore in

    He is a bit...but Conte knew that already...and that he's got a good footballing brain and a wand of a left foot (Oh, the backspin on that late cross!). He's strong and will run all day...



    ...and we've got him on loan and can give him back, if he was to go Lo Celso on us. At that point, I'm not seeing too much of a downside.

    I was thinking of him when I said, the classic example.

    Kulusevski has already done more for Spurs in a few league games than Lo Celso has in his entire Spurs career <laugh>

    Highlights of NBC's commentary, mainly from Peter Drury
    - And The Sheikh Mansour Team have stoppage time to win it now
    - There was a moment in this game where Spurs thought they were 3-1 up, it's now 2-2 - but that is not, of course, the end of the jeopardy because The Sheikh Mansour Team don't play for one point, these would still be two dropped points
    - I don't think we'll gonna see Ben Davies going forward

    There's various reports doing the rounds, with Mike McGrath leading the charge, about how the Sheikh Mansour Team players held an inquest in the dressing room after the match to try and work out how Harry Kane dismantled them

    Because that's it, it was just the one player and not a TEAM effort
