Tottenham’s forward line have to increase
It was a frantic clash with Brentford and when they scored two times, they came from Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal.
Up major, Richarlison was complete of hustle but not able to get meaningful touches of the ball in perilous regions, lacking his a single obvious-reduce chance, in spite of increasing into the match.

Madd about you
A debut as your club’s new £40million star signing is always hard, chuck in the reality you’re the new No.10 changing their legendary striker, you might be in for a tough journey.
But Maddison came via in excellent style, showcasing his creative imagination in the ultimate third against a Brentford group who hardly gave Spurs any place for manoeuvre.
His wicked no cost-kick shipping and delivery uncovered Cristian Romero for Tottenham’s opening purpose, while he nudged the ball to Emerson Royal for their 2nd much too.
Even a very first-50 % yellow card for dissent couldn’t dissuade him from creating a hustling display for 90 minutes.

Bissouma is back
He’s been a Spurs player for around a year but Yves Bissouma experienced all the electrical power of a new signing at the Gtech Group Stadium.
Postecoglou’s gentlemen dominated possession for massive areas of the match and just lacked that chopping edge required to prise open the stout Brentford defence a 3rd time.
But props need to be offered to Bissouma, who was frequently recycling the ball and enjoying some neat passes in the path of the extra innovative Maddison.
Bissouma failed to get heading final time, although injuries retained him out for a massive portion of it, but his efficiency on Sunday afternoon implies his Spurs profession is ultimately going to be kickstarted.

When Studge satisfied Keano
And a minor little bit absent from the true football, it appears to be like like we have a new bromance amongst the Sky Athletics punditry group.
We’ve fallen in love with the excellent rapport Roy Keane and Micah Richards have, but it appears a new partnership is blossoming among the Manchester United legend and Daniel Sturridge.
As well as providing some excellent perception into each of Sunday’s matches, former Chelsea and Liverpool striker Sturridge cracked loads of jokes to proceedings.
Sturridge mimicking Keane’s Irish tones as perfectly as doing an unexpected rendition Usher’s Nice and Slow for his Sky Sporting activities ‘initiation’ confirmed there is not going to be any shortage of exciting when ‘Studge’ is all around.
And although his antics drew a signature scowl from Keane, it bore a outstanding resemblance to the seems to be he provides his mate Richards during his punditry.
Let’s hope three is not a group in this situation.
