00:00 And just looking ahead to Saturday, of course, it is Bournemouth who in their game against Liverpool went and took the lead early on.
00:08 Liverpool then came back and of course won 3-1, but Bournemouth, you know, they had their moments in that game certainly, so they will pose a threat.
00:15 Obviously Tottenham, off the back of their good win against Manchester United, will be full of confidence, but what sort of challenge are you expecting from that game?
00:23 Well, it's always tough to go away to Bournemouth, you know, it's a tight little ground, lunchtime kick-off and we struggled last year massively.
00:30 We went 2-0 down and we managed to come back and nick it with Benson Kerr in the 95th minute, I think, last kick of the game from a corner.
00:38 So, we know it's going to be tough, we've got to be on it and I think, you know, we've seen from Spurs far too often, you know, we go and beat a good team at home
00:44 and then we go away from home against a lesser side, if you want to call it that, no disrespect to Bournemouth, and we slip up and it's a bit like after the Lord Mayor's show, isn't it?
00:52 So, you know, we need to be up for it, we need to be on it, we've got a real chance in the next couple of games, we're away at Bournemouth, away at Burnley, home to Sheffield United,
00:59 they're the next three fixtures, you know, we've got to be looking to take, I mean, nine points out of nine really, but minimum seven out of nine there,
01:06 before we have a bit of a tough end to September with Arsenal and Liverpool.
01:10 So, big opportunity for Spurs, as I say, a lunchtime kick-off, never easy, you never quite know what you're going to get.
01:17 Team news will be interesting, do we go same again? Obviously, question marks over Madison.
01:23 Or do we bring back Emerson Royale, perhaps for that little bit of defensive cover with it being an away game?
01:28 I think one of the things we do need to see early doors now is goals from the front three.
01:32 I mean, you know, we're only two games in, Son looked much, much brighter against Manchester United.
01:38 I mean, you can tell his fitness is growing, he's had a very short pre-season for various reasons, but he looked fit,
01:44 we got some good minutes in his legs again on Saturday and he did look very sharp.
01:49 And he's the oldest statesman now at 31, he's the oldest player in the team.
01:52 We've got a really, really young team, so we could do with a goal from Son just to give him confidence.
01:57 Kulosevsky grew into the game as well against Manchester United, but still looks a little bit void of confidence as well.
02:03 And then you've obviously got Richarlison, who, you know, you can't fault his work rate and his endeavour,
02:08 but, you know, his touch with his hold-up play, he needs to be sharper in and around.
02:13 And he didn't have one single shot on target or even a shot, I don't think, against Manchester United.
02:17 So, I think there's still work to do in the transfer window for Spurs.
02:21 Obviously, we've got another week and a bit to go.
02:23 We definitely need, you know, at least competition for Richarlison if he is going to be the man.
02:29 But a couple of early goals for him and Son, I think would do the confidence the world of good and, you know, get those players into the groove.
02:35 Obviously, confidence players, we've seen with Son, very, very streaky at times.
02:39 You know, he'll get one or two goals and then he'll go on and run where he scores for seven or eight games on the bounce.
02:43 So, we need to get those front three firing.
02:46 But again, you know, early doors for Ansh Posterkog, we're getting those methods and messages across.
02:51 And I just think we need to be looking for Richarlison a little bit more.
02:54 There was a couple of times where he did make good runs in behind, but obviously was so used to playing with Harry Kane up there,
03:00 they're not quite on the same wavelength yet.
03:02 And similar to how you see often with Erling Haaland at Manchester City, you know,
03:06 he makes those runs in behind and he's not always spotted or found.
03:09 So, you know, there's sort of similarities there, I think, in the way we need to adapt to play to Richarlison.
03:15 Obviously, he's certainly not the player that Haaland is, but, you know, he's Brazil's number nine.
03:19 We paid £60 million for him.
03:21 And I just think that sort of area of responsibility and the Spurs shirt is weighing a little bit heavy on him at the moment.
03:26 You know, he's only scored one Premier League goal, I think it's three in total.
03:29 He had a lot of injury problems last season.
03:31 He was in and out.
03:32 He's never really had a chance to play down the middle, but we do need to start seeing a return.
03:37 So a couple of early goals would be nice for him just to give him some confidence as well.
03:40 as well.
