New partnership, new data. Jim and analyst Enya Collins put the whole Spurs defence and the new midfield through Gradient Sport's event-based grading — every action scored on its own merit rather than against other players. Danso grades as a proper box defender, Van de Ven's numbers explain why he needs a high line, Senesi makes a surprising case to start, and Van Hecke barely has a weakness. Then the flags: Robertson's game is built on athleticism at exactly the age it fades, and a pattern emerges suggesting Spurs' recruitment has been over-indexed on athleticism for years. Plus the verdict on the new midfield: why £100m Tonali and Mateus Fernandes grade as a genuinely complementary duo. Data by Gradient Sport. A review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts would make us very happy.
