Summary

The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw join Danny Kelly to discuss the turbulent start to the season under Nuno as Head Coach.

They discuss his personality, his relationship with the players and his unassuming approach to management. Will he ever be the right man to lead Spurs?

They also ask whether the players could be taking more responsibility, and if they should, how does that actually manifest itself on the pitch?

Plus, there's a preview of the game against Aston Villa this weekend.

today, the athletics, Jack Pitbrook and James Moore. And there's plenty more to discuss

Oh yeah. I wouldn't say there was a spring in my step just yet. And I'm not even sure

Europa League victory against Moor of Slovakia, Slovenia. That's a bit. This is right.

1:06.6

Slovenia. Thanks. It's going to do it either. But I've calmed down a little bit. Let's just say that.

1:12.3

Okay. I hope that you haven't forgiven and forgotten, though, because we're going to continue...

1:17.7

No, absolutely not. Never forget.

1:19.5

No, we're going to continue a more considered and leisurely version of the blame game.

inside the club, rather than just what we were doing on Monday, which was how, you know, looking at it

1:39.7

from outside. Do you want to give people a kind of pracy of your piece? So, so they can get an idea

1:45.8

what we're talking about. Yes, this is a story which we published this morning looking at

1:50.6

kind of how new knows perceived by the players and inside the club and trying to, you know,

trying to look at explanations for why things are tailed off a bit in so badly in the last few
