How we managed to get this guy as our LB I will never know. 💎
- So comfortable in all phases of play.
- Can receive on the half turn
- Crazy engine which is so vital for those full backs.
- Physicality is a joke at 20, shrugs grown men off like they’re the kids.

Bryan Gil's return to the squad seems to be on the horizon, and we are very intrigued/excited to see how he develops under Ange.
Gil will give Spurs even more attacking flexibility due to the versatility of Johnson who can play across front three and Son who can play as a 9.

I can’t watch another season of trying to beat a low/mid block with Brennan, Son and Werner out wide. The lack of composure, technique and security just causes us so many issues. Need at least one of those to be a technical footballer.

Solanke’s hold up is incredible, not only does he relieve pressure and help us get up the pitch.

For me, this should be the order of priority for transfer targets in the next couple windows:

Kulusevski’s balance for a player of his height and physical stature continues to amaze me.

Clear tactical switch to have Maddison drift to the left touchline with Son getting much closer to goal.
Maddison’s 1v1 ability very underrated.
Switch is working a treat right now.
Something very wrong with our left hand side dynamics.
Son hugging the touchline so far away from goal.

Our build-up is some of the best in the league, this is genuinely probably the last of our issues.
We also don’t rely on dribbling in build-up, I have no idea what he’s watching?
I'm slightly falling out of favour with Ange's project at Spurs.
The demands in the build-up are massive as they maintain the 2-3-5 structure across the thirds - the
