The tracking of our Pressing Intensity* across the game tells the tactical story. We came out the gates hot, repeatedly won the ball high to counter, but almost as soon as we went one up we dropped off, and allowed Sunderland into the game. *Passes Allowed per Defensive Action

Checking in on the development of our promising young midfielders. Hm.

Happy New Year. Window is open.

On this week's @theextrainch.bsky.social In Focus we watched Odobert's exciting cameo vs Palace as well as scouting El Hadji Malick Diouf's crossing game www.patreon.com/posts/in-foc...

Issue with the upload for this week's ep, sorry about that, should hopefully be fixed in morning (is fixed for the patreon feed)

The 11th Premier League game of the season that we have finished the game with less than 1xG. From the previous 10 we have won just 1 of them (0.6 xG vs Leeds). 3 points today, but as we've already seen these performances are not sustainable to get results.

I have to assume that a gritty, hard fought away win and clean sheet goes down as another good performance to Frank. But, as a Spurs fan, I see 38% possession and, again, almost no chances created from open play against Palace as unacceptable.

My feelings on the refereeing, the commentary, and the things rival fans are saying about Romero.

My thoughts regarding Tottenham Hotspur Football Club at this time.

Not exactly a riveting affair, but Spurs did have the better of the chances prior to the red card.

Word on the street is that Liverpool are vulnerable on the break and to long balls down the channel, so, y'know...

On this week's @theextrainch.bsky.social In Focus we take a look at Leon Avdullahu's performance vs Bayern Munich www.patreon.com/posts/145937...

Spurs managed to take a single shot following Frank's 59th minute triple sub. A header from Richarlison at a corner. It was instantly blocked, leaving their total at six shots and roughly 0.4 xG to Forest's 2.

This week's episode of @theextrainch.bsky.social is out now for patrons. Tomorrow morning for normies.

Full-backs inverting. Really nice work to destabilise their block with constant, fluid movement; opening up lanes for the CBs to carry into. One of the main issues with man-marking Spurs is that you're using up a whole guy on Palhinha.

Pathetic from both clubs

Checking in with Spurs summer signings.

Not watched Brentford this season so not got a huge grasp on their quality but assuming they're a bit better than FC Kobehavn I think that's Spurs best performance this season.

This week's In Focus was a brief look at: Dick Schreuder's NEC, Claudio Giraldez' Celta Vigo, Eder Sarabia's Elche www.patreon.com/posts/144837...

It might be tempting for Spurs fans to look at results and say things started out reasonably well under Frank and then wonder why they quickly fell apart, but the truth is that we were never especially good, just lucky (and energised by change). Just like under Nuno.

Working on a bold new strategy for handling the current tension between Spurs players and fans called "Playing good football and winning more games" but haven't really thought it through thoroughly yet. Operation "Don't charge the most expensive tickets in the League" scrapped.

Absolutely nailing it on this week's TEI. Thanks for saying this @nathanaclark.bsky.social 🎯

We currently sit lower in the Expected Points table than we finished last season.

Should Spurs sack Frank?

1. At age 18 Luka Vuskovic is already an elite level passer, one of the very best aerial dualists in the world and has a fast developing positional game. 2. He'll probably never be quick enough to play for a PL possession or high-pressing team. The hell do Spurs do with that? redd.it/1p3pwt8

On this episode, I recommend the album The Ruby Cord by Richard Dawson, but I think first time listeners should save the first track until last.

I don't have a hugely developed take on Aleksandar Stankovic specifically yet but I am pleased (relieved even, if links persist) to see us linked to this profile of player. (Imagine, if you can, a player in midfield who can receive the ball from the defenders and pass the ball to the forwards)
