Jack is joined by Gavin to break down Tottenham’s defeat to Aston Villa, a result that laid bare the increasingly cautious nature of Thomas Frank’s side. From the conservative midfield of Palhinha and Bentancur to the lack of attacking spark and Xavi Simons’ quiet display, it was another afternoon where control seemed to take priority over creativity.

The pair also question whether Spurs’ struggles come down to tactics or personnel with Tel and Odobert under scrutiny and debate the ongoing concerns around Pape Sarr’s minutes and Vicario’s form.

The chat closes on the bigger issue: Tottenham’s home form and atmosphere. With ticket prices sky-high and the football often uninspired, is it any wonder the stadium feels flat?

Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen.
