Reflecting on Tonali's performance today.
So neat.
His positional sense is amazing and he just oozes simplicity it how he goes about his job.
I understand better now why they splashed the cash for him.
2-0 comfortable victory. A beautifully run of the mill, professional win (helped by the early red).
It feels like ages Spurs have played a game where there hasn't been some drama - got the job done tonight, dominant and deserved.
Henderson kept it from being a thumping.
Half time and Spurs lead 1-0, courtesy of an Archie Gray header on 25.
Looking at the bench, if they get a second, you don't have to risk Maddison at all (or Udogie), and give Deki some more proper minutes into his legs.
Trundling towards half time. A good half, in control, the red has obviously impacted on how Palace are set up. Need to find some wit to get the second.
Let's be honest, this stadium - the new stadium - hasn't really seen any prolonged bouts of successful football or a team we all have felt completely invested in, player by player. Imagine if this is the start. Imagine if heading up here was like that last season at the old WHL
