After a rough first 10 minutes, I really like what I have seen since.

Some flashes in that first half. Just need some time for these new guys to gel.

Van Hecke's line breaking passes are elite and once the team gets used to when he steps up, he will be ultra dangerous. And Marmoush looks really strong in link up play.

Tel just not quite good enough imo to start really. Hoping to see Kudus come in this 2nd half and have Porro go back to RB. Maybe Solanke come in and have Marmoush out left as well.

The midfield overall is just so much better.

🚨 EXCL: Agreement in principle reached for Iliman Ndiaye to join Tottenham Hotspur from Everton & Richarlison to move opposite way in separate transfers. Deals for 26yo #EFC attacker + 29yo #THFC forward subject to personal terms / medicals @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/R0KGDjBlKc

Hopefully this means Tel rides the bench going forward.

So its scraps from Chelsea instead of Ndiaye.

Danso to Sunderland, Mudryk and Tosin to spurs.

I feel like we upgraded big time in attack but lost some quality depth in defense.

Need to get healthy and stay healthy in midfield.

I like our starting 11 with Marmoush in the 9. I keep seeing people playing Savio on the wing and Kudus central. Who knows…Fernandes will be a star.

COYS

Tel starting, ugh, and Gallagher.

Just don't get the starting line up. Gallagher is not a 10 and never will be. And how does Fernandes come in so late. Should've been the starting 10 today.

Also should've had solanke and Marmoush together on the pitch.

Apparently Fernandez wasn't 100% and that's why he didn't start.

I also read somewhere that he likes Gallagher as the 10 on the road to control the match a little more. Whether this is true or not I don't really know

0 goals in 3 games. spectacular.

Mudryk out 6 to 8 weeks

He's full spurs now! Really embracing our traditions

Liked the first half pressure. Need to capitalize in the second half.

We better score. You can't justify 0 goals in 4 games.

Terrible.

and against Brentford, Everton, Nottingham and Newcastle.

It's almost a mental thing at this point. Need a goal to get some positivity.

Half a billion in additions.... and no striker.

BTW, I think our transfers will be great for us. But it is glaringly alarming that we have NO finishing quality in the box.

Four matches. Zero goals. Unbelievable.

Shocker. Absolute shocker. How do you go four games without a goal

Liverpool midweek at Anfield. They've been so so but its Anfield so expecting defeat, then Villa at the weekend who've been worse than Spurs.

I'm setting the over under on goals this WEEK at 0.5

A GOAL!

One of many to come! I hope

Connor Gallagher has looked pretty good today. He earned that goal.

Peppering them in the final minutes and pouring rain now.

well crap. nice to see some fight though we had chances.

A few really good chances, should've scored more.

I know they had to start him but Tel is just not it.

NOPE - VAR says No Goal.

420 minutes now and counting without an EPL goal.

Pretty brutal start to the season. Finally scored at least, but only after giving up 3 to Villa.
