The Signs Spurs Are Different This Year | The Scouting Room

Is De Zerbi ball already working at Spurs? DJ and Jim walk through the tactical evidence from the MK Dons pre-season opener — Kinsky's on-ball upgrade over Vicario, the Fernandes–Tonali double-pivot debut (with Fernandez's already-a-goal-of-the-season contender), the bounce passes, the inverted fullbacks, and MathysTel's five-run bending-run pattern that shows the automations are already being drilled into the squad.

Then the young players. DJ rates Luca Williams-Barnett as one of the top prospects in world football and explains why. Mikey Moore's Rangers-loan growth spurt gets its due. Malachi Hardy plants a flag as a centre-back name most casual viewers haven't got on the radar yet.

Plus: who backs up Maddison at 10 (with the club-captaincy rumours doing the rounds), whether Connor Gallagher is actually a 10 at all under De Zerbi, and what Bentancur being left out of the Australia tour actually tells us.

Considered, tactical, warm. The Scouting Room.
