Everything Tottenham did well against Aston Villa/Mura and what they still need to work on... A THREAD
Tottenham were back to much-needed winning ways this week, first against Mura in the Europa Conference League and then against Aston Villa in the Prem. I'm going to go through what I saw, what I liked, and what I still think we need to work on.
The most notable change in the past week has been Nuno's formation. He has seemingly finally binned off the 4-3-3 and replaced it with a 4-2-3-1, featuring a number 10. Against Mura, the 10 was often Dele Alli and against Villa it was Tanguy Ndombele, then later Gio Lo Celso.
A THREAD on my feelings after that win over Watford, heading into the international break, and the final two days of the transfer window...
Let's start by saying we are top of the Premier League and Arsenal are 20th. Funny. Means nothing at this point in the season but still very much enjoyable.
Spurs may not have blown anyone away in the opening three games, three 1-0 wins, three clean sheets, nine points, these are not things to turn your nose up at. There are still so many improvements to be made but the baseline performances have been unexpectedly good.
We have been taken on a managerial merry-go-round this summer - except no one asked to get on, we are all feeling sick and Daniel Levy is still pushing.
It feels as if we have gone through a who's who catalogue of big names in the world of football, only to land at the feet of Paulo Fonseca. An underwhelming appointment, but one many of us were warming to the more we researched him.
