2 goals from the back line, exactly as planned.

Shaky back 4 again but with Romero going off early it's hard to judge.
Emerson got caught out a few times though.

Royal on defense is pretty horrible, that winger is just blowing by him time and time again
But then he scores so maybe it balances?

The other thing I noticed is Ange plays the fullbacks pretty narrow in the final third.
9:38a, 8/13/23
Fullbacks have been narrow but they're also way up high and attacking.
Also Bissouma and Mattison are fun to watch. It's nice to be playing attacking football again

Maddison and Bissouma have been incredible
Skipp aint it in this system...would love to see Lo Celso
He;s done a lot of walking and being in the way

Damn't did not buy fast enough. It accepted it at first but I left it in my cart and now it says it is not valid.

Skipp off...we might not see him in a long while
Son wasn't getting it done either.
New manager making quite the impression

Shared the point
The Son PK was ****
Really fun being on the front foot. Ive always admired Maddison, but he is brilliant. Too early for him to be my favorite Spur?!?!?

Richarlison first touch a few times let him down. Son at 9 and perisic out wide would be interesting.
The first 25 minutes of the second half they looked really dangerous on the attack.
Maddison is a beast.

Probably a lot of split between Maddison and Bissouma, they bossed the midfield today.
10:32a, 8/13/23
Yeah Maddison and Bissouma definitely found their way into my favorite conversation today.
Also going to need more from Richarlison. Or they need to invest in someone else because he was nonexistent today.

Very solid opening game for the new squad and manager. Love Ange he has completely won me over.
Weak penalty given…really weak. Still a lot of improvements to be made and we will only get better.

Im not sure I get the love. That was boring as hell to watch. Front 3 barely had their names mentioned. We just passed around their box and created very few real chances. I hated that. Bissouma was good, every other player was non-existent. Goalkeeper looks to be an absolute disaster.
They were happy to give us possession because we couldnt do anything with it.

This is what has to happen. Making son stay close to the line takes away the best aspects of his game.Forum Troll said:

Yes but it's way better to watch than the sit back and grind out a 0-0 or 1-0 on the counter that we've been playing the last 3 years

I mean yes and no. I'm fully expecting 7-8th in the table but as long as it's more entertaining and we have a manager that actually wants to be here that's all I need right now

Dortmund fan I am. Kane to Bayern sucks. Feels like they are the only franchise in the Bundesliga that will throw serious $$ around. Dortmund always "developmental" approach.

I will say Madison looked pretty good as a creator, but man he had absolutely nothing to work with. Im very worried about what I saw yesterday. Its also weird that our fanbase (not just here, but seems to be general consensus) is saying "wow, we almost beat brentford!". We scored a goal from a set piece and converted a really low percentage shot from a RB. Attack had absolutely no teeth, which is what Ive been told is the strength of this coach.
It was less effective than that. It was so much worse than that. I dont know what "front foot" means. That was bland and boring soccer with a bunch of side to side passing and then back to the goal keeper.gcracker13 said:

That's completely fair and I would even agree. But we've also been told that it will take some time to adapt to his system. We just lost one of the greatest strikers in the world not 48 hours before. I think we had 4 friendlies? It'll take some times. Yeah we were toothless in attack and shouldn't be happy with a draw to Brentford but there is definitely reason for optimism

Only the beginning. Listening to Ange's post-game comments, he wasn't thrilled with the attack either. His system has taken time to implement at all his stops.
10:16a, 8/14/23
I was surprised at how narrow he had the outside backs playing during the attack, just felt like everything bogged down

i feel like the Dortmund/Spurs Venn diagram is pretty overlapping. i'm a pretty big fan as well and hated seeing Kane go to BM.
but oh well.
