Idk what guys were expecting with Maddison he had his first start in 18 months.. Udogie is a bigger issue he’s barely been able to string 2 games together consistently in 3 years and unlike Maddison, he doesn’t have a long term traumatic injury to fall back on as an explanation
De Zerbi: "In the first three days Maddison didn’t work with us. I don’t know if he is available for tomorrow. We can play with Tel, with Marmoush, with Gallagher. Like I said many times, I don’t want to take risk because if you analyse this period of European football, you can see many, many injuries and not for Tottenham but everyone. Kulusevski worked well but in the first days stayed individual." football.london/tottenham-ho…

🚨🗣️ Bruno Fernandes calling out Carrick & the backroom staff: "It's a decision from the staff to not press man to man and sometimes leave space behind and try to get the ball, wait for them, but sometimes when you give space to these teams they get confidence."
🗣️ Bruno on whether he is saying Michael Carrick got his tactics wrong: "That's on the manager and staff to see, not me. Sometimes you have to be more brave under pressure, take the risk of pressing high and making them uncomfortable. As you saw with them [Como], the centre-back was coming to mark me in my own half. We need to do that as a team but we were unable to."
🗣️ Bruno: "A team that plays through the middle with small connections, if you give them too much time and space then they can hurt you out wide."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Still around 30 minutes to go but we’re not seeing enough from Tynan Thompson in these Under-19 games.
Needs to show a lot more #mufc
He’s probably the most anonymous footballer I’ve watched in a long time. I come out of most games struggling to remember a single thing he’s done, just zero presence on the pitch

De Zerbi said he felt Spurs have played better in other matches. He said he decided to play with a back three, with one midfielder in Tonali and another three playing in 'pockets' behind Solanke. He played that way because of Gallagher having an injury and only returning two days ago and Fernandes only just coming back after becoming a dad for the first time. football.london/tottenham-ho…
