To be fair there was a great build up by Fulham there. Lots of neat passing.

Yeah, that is entirely deserved this second half. We've come out complacent and Fulham have actually started taking the game to us. Wake the feck up.

No idea. I guess the thinking could be that he'll be able to cut in on his left, but personally I think he was at his best last season as a proper winger, and when arriving at the back post for taps in etc.
Everyone obsessed with turning all young wide players into inside forwards cutting in. Thought Sess could grow into a Sane type of explosive proper winger, so few of them around.

I have been very impressed with Sessegnons off the ball movement so far. For a guy that age to be able to make intelligent runs like that in behind the oppositions back line is very impressive.

Fulhan outplaying Spurs in the 2nd half. They have to make it count.

That is what he is best at, I think. He popped up in some great areas last season, a lot of his goals were quite simple finishes but really, really good movement to get there in the first place. Especially impressive considering his age.

Solid defensively. Although I suppose most of the Spurs threat comes from the other side.
Hasnt done much going forward except for one mean cross and a couple of decent forward runs.

Vardy off. Scumbag tackle.

I don't see what anyone sees in Adama Traore. He has no idea how to kick a ball.

Good to see Pochettino prepared to make a tactical shift when Fulham started exposing the midfield weaknesses of going with a back 3. Something Southgate failed to do when Croatia were exposing England, although I suppose he didn't have Dembele to bring off the bench.

Jesus that's even worse on rewatch what a horrifying tackle. Should get a long ban.
