Didn’t think the 1st half was anything special, but our final 1/3 passing really told a tale of two halves.

1st half: 61 attacking 1/3 passes (joint most from a half this season, level with Brighton).

2nd half: just 22.

May have to start making a thread on which opposition players are out performing our entire midfield.

This week it's Granit Xhaka with 7 progressive passes.

Bentancur (2), Gray (1), Palhinha (1), Odobert (2).

Mohammed Kudus was dispossessed 5 times vs Brentford, taking his Premier League total to 53, the most by any player this season.

This week on which opposition player has more progressive passes than our entire midfield 3 it's Jordan Henderson (10).

Palhinha (5), Bentancur (2), Gray (1)

I'm not sure how we are going to progress under Frank based on our very limited in ball possession tactics, we had a lower pass accuracy and possession than Brentford.

Tottenham are conceding from an average of 14.6 yards out, the 2nd highest distance in the league, with 7 goals coming from outside the box.

Interestingly, tomorrow's opponents Brentford have scored just 1 goal from outside the box all season.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur Progressive Pass Comparison (66 vs 19)

Wharton having more than double the progressive passes (10) compared to our entire midfield three combined (4), while also completing almost the same number of passes (52 vs 45) says everything about how our midfield is set up.

The structure is the biggest problem, not personnel

The 11th Premier League game of the season that we have finished the game with less than 1xG.

From the previous 10 we have won just 1 of them (0.6 xG vs Leeds).

3 points today, but as we've already seen these performances are not sustainable to get results.
