Reassuring to see we are going after a midfield profile we are severely lacking.
Aston Villa and Tottenham in talks over move for Conor Gallagher. Atletico Madrid open to sale on either permanent or loan with an obligation basis. Villa most advanced but Spurs prepared to accelerate if player shows willingness to join.

It’d be a big piece of work, but if there’s interest I can try to build a Streamlit app that gives access to all the visuals I share and lets you explore games/players I haven’t posted about.
Quite a crazy game from Palhinha, he had the most touches of any Tottenham player, the highest number of defensive actions and also the most passes into the attacking 1/3 (both sides), interpret that how you like.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United Stat Preview: - El Hadji Malick Diouf's 3 assists is the most of any West Ham player, however he will be unavailable due to AFCON. - Lucas Paqueta & Mateus Fernandes lead progressive and final 1/3 passes but both could miss out due to injury.

Some really cool visuals and interesting posts on this channel, would recommend following (Tottenham fan too).
Ahead of a potential move to Crystal Palace, this week I covered Sidiki Cherif. I looked at where he excels, what needs some work and if we can use the past to adjudicate the future. My main takeaway? Exciting, but raw. Link is in the subtweet.

Tomorrow's opponents West Ham have used 30 different players in the Premier League this season, the most of any club. In comparison to Tottenham who have used just 23, the 3rd fewest.

Part three of The Athletic's mid-season appraisal of 'Big Six' tactics looks at Tottenham Hotspur. Hopes were high in the summer that Thomas Frank and Spurs' squad was a good match. So far it is not working out like that. @anantaajith analyses what's working, and what isn't.

Pedro Porro has been our fastest recorded player in the Premier League this season. Data via @driblab

Conor Gallagher will be joining what is already quite a physical midfield. Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall both rank in the top 5 Premier League midfielders for distance covered per 90 (11km). Data via @driblab

This season Thomas Frank has opted to use our defensive players (Romero, Porro & Spence) for progression, rather than our midfield.

Probably should have added James Maddison 2024-25 in here too. For reference he was averaging 8.2 progressive passes per 90 with a 81% pass completion.

Adding last season's Tottenham data for comparison shows that Rodrigo Bentancur can be a good progressive passer when in a system that actually attempts to play football, but still highlights that we’re missing a top level midfielder.
Before getting a star Left Winger, a second left-footed LB or improving CB depth. Spurs most urgent need, by far in my opinion, both tactically and in profile, is midfield passing. Thanks to @SpursPLStatsMan for the viz.

Villa were proactive on defending corners, leaving 3 attackers forward on corners as they were aware of our set piece threat (similar to what Chelsea did against us earlier in the season).

After conceding twice from outside of the box against Villa earlier in the season I expected us to be more proactive today. Was frustrating particularly in the 1st half to see how many shots Villa were able to get off.
Today’s opponents Aston Villa have scored the highest % of Premier League goals from outside the box (36%). Meanwhile, we’ve conceded the highest % of goals from outside the box (30%).

Couple more views to show that despite the goal and a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half, the final result was justified.
Please don't think that a goal and a few strong tackles meant that the 2nd half performance was any better than what we've seen. Our in play possession was very much the same as the 1st half, we just won a few more of the duals.

Also too easy for Villa to play in midfield
