How can Tottenham turn total control into open-play chances? A Licence coach JJ says Spurs are still rushing it in the final third, even after a third straight Premier League win.
Jim and JJ walk through Tottenham's 2-0 win over 10-man Crystal Palace: Jean-Philippe Mateta's red card on Micky van de Ven, why Palace's low block was so hard to break without Savio, and where Roberto De Zerbi's side are after three wins on the bounce. They pick their most improved players under De Zerbi, from Archie Gray and Mateus Fernandes to Mathys Tel, Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven, and why Sandro Tonali is the one player JJ would keep fit all season.
JJ thinks a new striker could help, but only a different profile. You'll want to hear why he wouldn't sign another Dominic Solanke or Omar Marmoush right now.
Thanks to Roston for sending in this week's question.
