S1554 - The Xavi Simons Show

We thought we were in for one of those grim afternoons. City battered us first half, we booed like we couldn’t even be bothered, and then somehow Spurs came out a completely different team. We get into the shape change, the subs that flipped it, and how we went from aimless build-up to actually hurting them, with Solanke back doing proper number nine things. Big chat on Xavi Simons running the show, Gallagher and Sarr giving us legs and bite, and why starting games like that first half is still the maddening part. Plus: Frank’s “unsackable” chat, Arsenal fans being embarrassing, Villa bitterness, and a little deadline-day loan dog watch.
