First proper look at De Zerbi's 26/27 Spurs DJ and Jim take The Scouting Room through the MK Dons pre-season opener with the tactical evidence: the bounce passes, the inverted fullbacks, Fernandez already scoring a goal-of-the-season contender, and Tel running the same bending line five times to show the automations are already being drilled.
Then the young players. DJ flags Luca Williams-Barnett as one of the top prospects in world football and backs it up. Mikey Moore's Rangers loan growth spurt. Malachi Hardy at centre-back as one to watch. Plus who backs up Maddison at 10, why Connor Gallagher isn't quite a Madison, and what Bentancur being left off the pre season tour might mean.
