Squad

Tempers go at Tottenham

Sandro Tonali was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

The step up is real for James Wilson

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Words at Tottenham training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jan Paul van Hecke is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Micky van de Ven placed on the list

Tottenham have made Micky van de Ven available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout

Matías Arezo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Honours even between Tottenham and Nottingham Forest

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Destiny Udogie

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Steven Ellis on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Player ratings

Conor Gallagher was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

In brief
