In this latest episode of CADS, Stuart, Ash, Austen and Kjetil return to break down a whirlwind week for Tottenham Hotspur — from the frustrating draw at Monaco to the hard-fought win over Everton.
The lads debate Thomas Frank’s evolving tactics, the double pivot problem, and whether Spurs are still “finding the light.” There’s discussion of Vicario’s heroics, Kulusevski’s role, Brennan Johnson’s resurgence, and the emerging influence of young talents like Archie Gray, Bergvall, and Luka Williams-Barnett.
Expect sharp insights, plenty of humour, and a good dose of realism as CADS dissect what’s working, what isn’t, and why “they don’t know what we’re doing” might actually be the plan.
