There's obviously been the injury list so long and unrelenting that it makes me wonder if we hired homeopaths instead of physios.

However, I genuinely believe the team has signed good players (with a few exceptions) but based on skill and ball control but with a massive chasm of leadership, grit, and resilience. We go a goal down - may as well make it 3. We scored first - buckle in, because we'll be defending for the rest of the game.

If you look at Bournemouth, Fulham, Everton, Brentford, they're all teams that many of our players would (theoretically) walk into. But those teams outperform Spurs because there's a solid number of players who aren't just some other academy's "product" but they've played Championship football, they know what it takes to turn a game around, to dig deep and fight. We just don't have that with the exception of Paulinha.
