    We Need To Talk About Udogie & Xavi Simons! Tottenham 2-2 Brighton



    Tottenham fight back from 2-0 down to draw 2–2 at Brighton. Xavi Simons shines off the bench, Kudus and Udogie impress, and Thomas Frank’s tactical tweaks show Spurs’ growing mentality, but their lack of a true left winger still holds them back. What we learned from Tottenham 2-2 Brighton. Bergvall did well once going deeper. #spurs #tottenham

      I think it's tricky for Thomas Frank as he was left short of what he needed. I think if we sign the same kind of players we did this summer transfer window and add to it in the next one or two summer transfer windows then we have our rebuild of the squad done and can really see where Thomas Frank can take us as a club. I trust udogie to play on the left wing until we can buy someone. I feel crossing ability can be improved in training pitch but for me now he can stretch play with driving run up the left wing and then can choose to drive into the box pick someone out or shoot. I would like to see 4-3-3. Our best back 4 with the three in front of Bentancur and palhinha and Bergvall or sarr. But the front three would be Kolo and Kudus with Xavi just behind them. Danso is a good central defender. So Tottenham's wingbacks could have flexible options of porro /Spence /udogie/van Der ven. Tottenham back Thomas Frank more. I would have loved to have seen a striker and a left winger in the summer transfer window.

      Again, great video. You are right, Johnson should be a striker given his finishing capabilities and speed. Richy is more capable on the left imo and already drifts there to begin with.

      Disappointed that we dropped two points. We need to be going out there to win every match. Yes that isn’t always realistic but it’s the mentality we have to have

      Super analysis as usual Alice. I said at the Bournemouth game that it's clear he's still working out the squad, as you'd expect as it can only be done in meaningful matches. He is the intelligent sort of manager who will quietly work it out, and to give him credit he was calling out the need for a left winger from early on.

      6 games 4 win and 1 lose and a drow 11 goals and 3 conceded and our key rotation players are injured trust me just give it time and we will be unstoppable plus the january window.🤍

      We gotta talk about Romero in the 2nd half. He was on smoke in that half. Shut down all CF hold-up play, dropping and winning the ball back constantly. All of his tackles in that half were the cleanest/aggressive tackles I've seen all season.

      Haber si entienden. Para Hablar de fútbol debes haber jugado. NO OPINAR POR Hbdf visto… Los centrales de totenham no son buenos. El cuti es del montón.. Pero lo agrandaron… Vicario debe Mirar que hace el único clase A Bentancur.. El se mueve rápido de un lado a otro para salir jugando pero. Cuando ve que no se la dan Cuando deben. Después lo marcan 2 /3 y es tarde. Debe salir con los laterales. Los cuales piensan deben saltar el medio y juegan por la banda. Cuando son todas para los contrarios. El cuti sale en largo también para los contrarios qué están de frente.. La mejor salida es con el 5/4/6.pero NO ES EL FAMOSO 6 QUE QUIEREN LOS HINCHAS QUE ES. UN VOLANTE SUELTO DELANTE DEL 8/10.
      PERO LA MEJOR SALIDA ES. BBENTANCUR. PERO PARA ESO DEBE Vicario dársela cundo Esta solo y los otros medios moverse y llevarse marca y distraer al contrario.. No hay jugador COMPLETO CÓMO BENTANCUR… pero ayuden lo. El a todos le da L pelota pero nunca vuelve. Es el director de selección de Uruguay desde 2018
      Y va por su tercer mundial Quien otro sino el arropa a los jóvenes como Berwal. RCHIE SARR… DESPUÉS MIRANDOSE EN EL TODOS JUEGAN

      I felt Odobert failed to take the opportunity, he never really did much and wanted to get rid of the ball quickly.
      The only thing I disagree with is Bentancur, I felt he was the best player, he was back defending and was also up on the edge of the Brighton box in the attack. He was the only one creating until he went off!

    28. @diggint9199 on

      The defence was equally as flimsy as Anges highline at times. A top 4 team would have punished us. To get a draw was a good result. Udogie looked great. There were chances missed that Ange would have bore the brunt of during his tenure. I think Frank has a lot more depth with the new players coming in off the back of the CL qualification.

    29. @tonyharvot4379 on

      I was very happy to see Xavi finally in at the 10. Would like to see more of Tel on the left, i think that's his best spot. Also interested to see what Kolo Muani can bring. Perhaps he will also get time on the LW. Unfortunately for him, I don't think Johnson is going to see many minutes except to give Kudus a rest.

    34. @davidjones992 on

      One point, Spurs seemed to move the ball a bit quicker than they have been. Previous games have been a bit of a stroll at times and I don’t mean when running down the clock or taking the sting out of opponents dominance. Just ponderous build up, but today seemed faster, maybe crisper. Still not vintage football but every game sees some improvement, in a few weeks they’ll be flowing nicely.

      1st goal for me was very angeball the dog was fantastic today fair play to frank he saw what was going on and changed it simons has to play the 10 for me great come back wouldnt have seen this under ange last season would have ended 5 0 things are defo looking up for us

      Hey Alice… it was a good pt, a good fight back… away game, brighton is always tough to play against…

      1) applauding TF for starting odobert on the left, and benching Johnson. Not impressed with Johnson's cameo… the first 3 games + today's sub has shown that Johnson is seriously out of depth on the left. Nothing personal against him, but pls let him challenge kudus for a place on the right…simple as that. At EPL and CL levels, we simply can't afford having a passenger during the game. Period.

      2) looks like left wing is a current weakness in the spurs team. If odobert and tel can't make it there… perhaps try out udogie or Spence till Jan window. Who know, and maybe will get the next Bale out of this try

      3) Simons is definitely most productive in the middle as AMC

    41. @actonspur5231 on

      Starting Bentancur and Pahlinha was too defensive from Frank, for me. Should have been Pahlinha and Bergvall with Xavi in the 10. Also, Porro should have been rested for Spence. Lastly, would like to see Muani as the 9 instead of Richy (once fully PL fit)..

    42. @stefanlim1776 on

      We can try playing a back four of Spence, VDV, Romero and Perro, protected by a deep-lying midfield two of Sarr and Bergvall, an attacking midfield of Udogie, Simons and Kudus, and either play Kolo Mauani or Johnson as a number 9 up top. I would even suggest bringing Vuskovic back from Hamburg as a centre forward. We need a big presence in the box to feed off the crosses from the wings and also to hassle the opposition defence. And we know that Vuskovic was a striker growing up before being converted to a central defender. So he can more than do this role.
