Tottenham5 - 1Charlton
Incredible result, but scoreline+posession stats do conceal some real concerns. Up until the Moore goal at the end of the first half (which wasn’t even a particularly good chance, just an excellent finish) we didn’t look to be doing much - of course this is effectively an entirely 2nd choice front 3 with no 10 behind them, but still would hope for a bit more against Charlton Athletic. After the first goal floodgates really opened - solidly taken finish from Solanke for the 2nd, Danso off the corner for a 3rd, and Savio beauty brace to bring it up to 5 (I think 2nd goal was given to Ben Davies but same shit). Very impressed with Matheus Fernandes today, think he was the best player on the pitch for us. Mikey Moore has some incredible talent but really lacks the consistency to be PL level as things stand, I hope he gets his Koln loan and is able to succeed there. Archie Gray not terribly dangerous playing out wide but managed to have 2 great shots on target and honestly unlucky to not walk away with a goal. JPVH was great today, didn’t put a single foot wrong. Bergvall had a poor first half but slowly grew into the game as it went along. Quintessential Udogie performance for his first match back - I understand we’re all sentimental about the loss of Djed but it should be clear to everyone that (when healthy) Udogie at LB is a clearly better player. Overall of course it's impossible not to be happy with the result, especially against a decent Charlton Athletic side that's just come off the back of a victory against West Ham, but I do still have concerns around how few chances we were able to create in the first 40'. Hopefully a front 3 of Savio-Marmoush-Kudus is able to create more than Tel-Solanke-Moore. Cautiously optimistic for this weekend, think we should be favourites at home against this depleted Newcastle side that struggled against West Brom. COYS.
