Well. That was a way to start a season.
Brentford 3-0 Spurs. Lewis-Potter after twelve minutes, Janelt on thirty three, Kayode four minutes into the second half and if Thiago puts his penalty on target it is four. We did not win a duel, we did not win a second ball, and by the time Bentancur came on at half time the game had already gone.
Over £200m spent on six players and we turned up at the Gtech looking like eleven blokes who met in the tunnel. Four new faces in the back four. Tonali and Bergvall in a midfield that never got going. Maddison and Mateus Fernandes watching the first half from the bench. De Zerbi came out afterwards and said it himself, we are not a team yet. He is not wrong. The question is how long he gets to fix it.
Mikey Moore was the only one who came out of it with any credit. Two efforts, Kelleher saved both, and he was the only Spurs player who looked like he actually fancied it.
So tonight we are going through all of it. Was this a fitness problem, a coaching problem or a squad that simply does not know each other yet? Should Maddison have started? Was hooking Bergvall at half time the right call or was it hanging a twenty year old out to dry? And with Savinho in London for a medical and Marmoush talks moving, do another two attackers actually fix what we saw yesterday, or are we papering over something much more basic?
Newcastle at home on Saturday. First game back at N17. That already feels enormous.
