OUR SEASON IN REVIEW: Rating every single Tottenham player's 23/24 season (300 minutes minimum)

A THREAD 🧵

#THFC #COYS #PremierLeague Guglielmo Vicario: A-

Mins: 3420

What a keeper. I don't think anyone knew this "cheap option" would be so good. He still has a lot to improve (corners, short distribution, catching) but is already one of the best shot-stoppers in the world. Couldn't have asked for more.

I think I noticed something important. The answer to why we struggled against Wolves and dominated against Palace, who played an very similar system (3-4-3 low block). A tactical tweak that sounds simple but may be crucial to our long term success.

A THREAD 🧵

#COYS #THFC You may recall that I've been calling for Ange to make some slight tactical changes to help us dominate games and defend against transitions. In particular, I talked about dropping the 6 deeper and occasionally building up in a back 3.

Guess what? Ange did just that vs Palace.

It is no secret that our midfield has struggled in the past few games. But why has it dropped off so much compared to the start of the season? What changed, and who is to blame?

Here, I will take a deep dive into Tottenham's midfield dynamics. A THREAD 🧵

#THFC #COYS Here are our current midfielders:

Maddison
Bentancur
Sarr
(Kulusevski)
Bissouma
Lo Celso
Hojbjerg
Skipp

Without a doubt, we have one of the best midfield depths in the league. However, only Sarr, Kulu, Hojbjerg, and Skipp have been consistently available.

Why PEDRO PORRO has been Tottenham’s best player this season.

A thread 🧵

Let’s start off with a stat many of you might not know: Pedro Porro is on track to break TAA’s record of most PL assists by a defender in a single season (13). MONSTER.

#THFC #COYS Now let’s take a quick look at his stats:

Pedro Porro ranks in the 92% for both assists (joint third in the league) and shot creating actions.

97% for goal creating actions
87% for progressive & key passes
94% for tackles (99% in att. third)
97% for blocks
