What We Learned From Tottenham 3-1 Brentford

[@rbohYSL]

shows how great Alice's insight on the sport is, when as a Spurs fan I am waiting for her video reaction on the games over 'Spurs fans' reactions. great video again mate. keep it up.

[@ECILAFootball]

Thank you :)

[@denisewilson9783]

[@rhysjaggar4677]

It's paradoxically easier to analyse a game if you aren't a fan of the club, as you can be objective (assuming you're not a fan of the most hated rivals, as then you're just as biased as a fan of the club themselves). Alice is like a German, being driven by her support for her own club, not hatred of other ones. So she can analyse Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Villa, without becoming petty, puerile, point scoring etc.

Alice, once again, you have proven one of the best Pundits on Spurs matters. Thank you so much for being factual and for this analysis, which presents positivity for us true Spurs fans. I am not saying we should be biased and not feel disappointed when we put up a bad performance, but if we review the games with a clear head and listen to analysts like you, we can see the progression and growth in our play and club. Once again, thank you so much, and keep up the excellent work, Mate. A few sacres, but a fantastic game we played that led to the 3-1 victory. I hope you wear a Spurs shirt soon. A man can only dream.....lol.

[@sydneysider3764]

Some of the fan base have come out far too early on the Ange out. Painted themselves into a corner now hoping for a poor result to justify their position. Feel sorry for them. Agree the trolling on BJ has been disgraceful. He is playing for himself and Ange not the fans. Can’t share or enjoy his goals on the pitch. Shocking to see but totally justified. One result does not change the season good or bad at this early stage. But there are many reasons to be optimistic from this performance. Got to get a lot of confidence into the group. Can’t count on the fans to lift them. Will get more from the fans of other clubs. Great content Alice. COYS.

Excellent intelligent analysis. You deserve a spot on Sky etc. I was at the match and you highlighted all the most important points. In particular, Ange has changed his system as you mention (but TV experts have not spotted), playing Maddison a bit deeper and sometimes wider, and getting Kulu to be our captain chaos just outside the area.

[@mkelly1004]

I completely agree with your statement about giving a manager a third season, unless it is obvious it's not working. Ange has signed a four year contract. In his first year he has had to dig deep to remove a broken plant and any dead wood and soil lying around by releasing a lot of players. Then, he's had to bring a fair amount of new compost in. He is starting from scratch and is now preparing the soil for the seed he will plant towards the end of this, his second season. So the third season is the one that is fair to judge the flower that he has created. So, for instance, Eric ten Hag is open to all flower critics from the stands and beyond for their judgement of his (this season's) blossom.

[@ChubbBates-mh5xp]

Alice you’re right,last season we normally had to go 1-0 down before we started to play well. We came from behind quite often,especially at home.COYS.

James Maddison Masterclass and he turned up. Happy to see Brennan Jonson score to silence at the racism towards him.

[@BelgianHotspur]

Hey 👋 Alice , Did you notice that Udogie played much more like a traditional LB instead of being inverted and therefore Son was able to operate in his natural position LHS ! People saying Ange doesn’t change are wrong 😑. He makes tweaks all the time. If we’re gonna play this high intense pressing every game Ange will have to rotate heavily for the cups. The players can do it for maximum 60 minutes cause it’s just so demanding.

[@winstoncoerecius]

Didn't see the game on telly but your observation about Udogie is what I've repeatedly said. He runs into the spaces of Son and Maddison, creating a bottleneck on the left.

Underrated opinion: I thought Sarr was pretty good this game. Came on the pitch and did what he usually does back in the Starting XI, to be that wild card running around the pitch, be active and be prepared to apply some additional cover for our backline, midfield and front three. If there's some competition in order to fire their spirits up, Sarr would be one of them, for sure.

Definitely that first goal that Tottenham conceded pushed Spurs into action. When the goal went in I felt that the opponent had scored way too early.

[@irregulargamer5848]

Still along way to go. Dropped points at Lei, Toon & last week. Basically its another session of evolution for the squad. Still no where near where we want to be but that cant happen overnight - no matter how much some fans want it to. Agree with you the potential is there but we need to see how much Ange is willing to bend short term to get the results the team needs in order to secure the long term path to fully implement his vision with the quality, cohesion and consistency needed to win things.

[@AminCorea]

Vicario should have received a yellow or red card for handling the ball outside the box. If that had happened, we would have had to rely on Fraser Forster as our second-choice goalkeeper, which is not ideal.

[@p_sg3449]

I've been a Spurs supporter for over 6 decades and have seen may false dawns - before you or many opining on this site were born. I say don't get over excited. "It's only Tottenham lads" as Ferguson once famously said about Spurs, when they were 3 nil up ar half time and went on to lose 5:3. Yes I saw that game live and I've seen it all before. Let's see how they do against Man U away.

[@PyroMiniYak]

Also something to note was that Udogie was playing more like a traditional full back in the wide areas allowing Son to operate more centrally as an inside forward

[@joelhooton2215]

Love your content keep it up! Disagree about bentacur though, he is fine but too negative, always moving the ball laterally, bissouma will take his spot but he has been out injured
