.twoht tried to make sense of Spurs. Now he's off to plait fog.
Brentford were good value for their half-time lead, and looked good for all three points when bookmaker’s friend Ivan Toney scored from a corner nine minutes into the second half to double their advantage. At this point, Spurs’ performance had felt like a compilation of their worst bits of the season so far.
Over the last twenty minutes, having rediscovered their self-confidence midway through the second half of a match yet again, Spurs poured forward in the pursuit of a winning goal. Kane hit the crossbar with a header in the closing minutes, and deep into stoppage-time Son Heung-min’s low shot had to be smartly saved by David Raya. But even for all of this, when Brentford did manage to push forward they still looked capable of snatching the win themselves.
We’ve already repeatedly seen this season that Spurs are not at the level of the other teams in the Premier League’s top six. They’ve played four games against the other five, and haven’t taken a single point from games against them, having not played Manchester City at all yet. This is a bad habit that needs to be broken. In the space of sixteen days from the middle of January they play Arsenal at home and Manchester City home and away.
