rewatching the Brighton Spurs game to double-check my contemporaneous thoughts on it.

1st watch: Spurs were fluent in build up play and playing through the press with ease 2nd watch: Brennan Johnson and Kulu specifically had superb interplay down the right wing on a number of occasions which i conflated to the entire team

1st: spurs pressed Brighton & made them unable to play their game 2nd: some good pressing for the 1st goal, but Brighton deal well with pressure. Starving them of possession is what made Spurs look dominant, pressing Brighton prevents penetration but doesn't generate turnovers

1st: Spurs played well 1st½ then dropped off. 2nd: VDV, Udogie & Bentancur were already below average 1st½. Werner poor end product but good penetrating runs. Kulu and Johnson had excellent performances, Maddison & Porro above average. Solanke pressed well throughout.

Mitoma is unplayable throughout. His balance, dribbling, movement and chance creation is elite and impossible to contain for 90 mins without tactical fouling or doubling or even tripling up on him

Van De Ven is great at defending transitions but can get done easily when stood up against players with low center of gravity and changes of direction. Romero has serious attention deficit brain farts where he completely loses track of players in the box.
