The Originals: Reacting To Tottenham's 3-0 Loss At Brentford (Panel On De Zerbi, Van Hecke, Bergvall, Charlton Preview And More)

Should Roberto De Zerbi get a pass for Tottenham's 3-0 defeat at Brentford? The Originals panel splits — and it's a proper split. Jim, Si, Stu, Johnny and DJ walk the opening-day loss with fresh eyes. What went wrong tactically — Kinsky's parry, Van Hecke's stepping-out habit (same one as vs Hoffenheim), Bergvall's press without triggers, Gallagher running like a chicken with his head cut off. Why every Spurs attacking moment came from Tell and Robertson on the left. Why the corner Spurs conceded from had six players marking three at the front post. Plus Si's soon-to-be-quoted "our possession is like my gym membership — it exists but doesn't do a lot of good." Stu's "119 points from 105 games" stat. DJ's tactical read on why he won't give De Zerbi a pass after this if it happens again. And Jim's defence — Spurs actually got the fifth-most points in the league across De Zerbi's seven-game stint at the end of last season. Panel Charlton away predictions: DJ 1-0, Si 2-0, Johnny wins on penalties, Stu 2-1, Jim 3-1. Members read on tape: Ivor, Mr Pipe, Sean Howe, Stefan, Howard and Lee. Considered, warm, panel-honest.
