It’s been a week. Between Forest and a one-year-old with hand, foot and mouth (plus the looming arrival of baby number two), I’m running on fumes. Forest has me feeling particularly low about Spurs. Because here’s the thing: it came after what you could call a ‘good’ week. If you squinted hard enough, you could see tweaks, changes, signs of life. Sure, it was against poor-quality opposition, but there were glimmers: full-backs moving inside to create passing lanes (and thriving), front-four interplay and connection, Xavi Simons actually, you know, having the ball. And then Forest happened, and it felt like the absolute worst extremes of Thomas Frank’s Tottenham all at once.

Ange says there's no magic door for young players. I think there should be.

Nathan put together this really excellent video about why we struggle against the narrow low block and some potential solutions. If you listen to our podcast, The Extra Inch (Spurs Podcast), you'll know that Nathan is convinced that we are a dribbly winger (or two) away from being a hell of a team. I'm struggling to convince myself that Ange agrees.

Check out the data. Have a look, get your head around it. I wanted to look at the circumstances leading to the player leaving, how many minutes they'd played, etc, as well as how they left. Please comment if you spot any inaccuracies or have any information to add, I'd be very grateful.
