A game of opinions as they say but for me I completely disagree, I think JP has improved enormously with very little delivery. Finally yesterday we see people running off of him meaning he has support. I am really interested to see how he develops under Glasner. Superb hold up play now Edited by Fanofzhiyi (25 Feb 2024 8.42am) This with knobs on

He has come on in 'Leaps and bounds' and he is a far cry from the player whom we have seen struggle and been in the object of derision from our supporters. His goal tally is far from impressive but his contribution to the team is worthy of praise.

The team came out believing that they were going to win and it showed in the performance and even with 22 players on the pitch it just seemed a case of when not if we would score. The players were making themselves available, creating space and making runs. We bombarded Burnley with crosses and there were no periods where we spent five minutes going backwards and passing it nowhere, everything seemed to be about progressing the ball forward but not in a gung-ho Spurs way. He had right-footed Ayew taking set-pieces on the left to get in-swingers and likewise left-footed Wharton doing the same on the right. Not a huge thing but we did look more threating with that slight tweak I know it was only Burnley but already you get the sense Glasner is going to make a nonsense of those on here that said no manager could improve our team. Just as I started this ramble, I'll finish it by saying the big thing that Glasner seemed to bring to the table yesterday was the belief in the players that they were good enough, that they didn't need Olise or Eze, a message that all too often seemed to be missing under Roy.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Almost all of Roy’s wins needed to have talismanic figures in the game, Zaha, Olise, Eze etc. A good manager’s job includes figuring out ways to win variously. Stars get injured, or carded too. I’m with Roberto Carlos here “The problem with Roy Hodgeson is he knows nothing about football”.
