Spurs finally have their first point of the season — but we're still waiting for that first goal.
Graham, Mark and Thom are back to pick through Tottenham's draw with Nottingham Forest and ask whether we're beginning to see signs of Roberto De Zerbi's new-look Spurs taking shape.
Despite 12 shots and none on target, there were positives. We discuss an improved defence, the Van de Ven–Van Hecke partnership, a stronger midfield and whether the attacking problems are simply going to need time to resolve.
There's also plenty on De Zerbi's approach to managing player fitness. Are Spurs being sensible after two injury-hit seasons, or has the club gone too far in the other direction? And what do we make of De Zerbi publicly discussing the decisions behind taking Savio and Udogie off?
We ask the big attacking question: where are the goals going to come from? Is Solanke capable of being the answer, which combination of Marmoush, Savio and Kudus will eventually emerge, and how could Maddison and Xavi fit in when they're available again?
Plus, we give some deserved praise to Rodrigo Bentancur, discuss the growing partnership and structure of the new midfield, and — naturally — get dragged into the controversy surrounding Forest's disallowed handball goal.
❓ Thom's Teaser brings back some happier memories as Graham and Mark battle to identify some classic Spurs goals — with considerably more success than last week's effort.
🔮 And we update the Predictions League before making our calls for Spurs vs Everton.
After three games without a goal, is there genuine cause for concern — or are we just waiting for this completely rebuilt Spurs side to click?
Come on you Spurs! COYS
