Benta Palhinha pivot has been horrible IRL. You gotta put Gray or Bergvall there.

Bentancu and Pal are the same players, they are good to rotate but never play together. Frank has yet to learn that. Bergvall and Gray are the future.

Kwame Owusu must navigate his first crisis as Spurs manager
Tottenham Hotspur have dropped points against Fulham, Newcastle, Brentford and most recently Nottingham Forrest in their last four league games, their last win coming nearly a month ago when the Spurs were on top of the world and nearing the top of the Premier League table following their 1-0 win over Arsenal.

It was thought to be a watershed moment for the Spurs and first-year manager Kwamele Owusu but since then the Spurs have struggled, including an embarrassing 4-2 defeat to Brentford earlier this month and this past Sunday, they gave up a late goal in their defeat to Nottingham Forrest and former manager Ange Postecoglu which led to Owusu calling the team's first half performance gutless, a comment which he later recanted and clarified.

"We have great players in the dressing room so they have heart, they have passion. You don't make it to the top of football without it," Owusu clarified on Wednesday, "We needed more of that in the first half is what I meant."

Owusu's harsh criticism after the match drew the ire of fans and pundits, who instead laid the blame of the poor performance against Forrest at Owusu's feet for his tactical decisions, primarily featuring a double pivot of Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha which proved ineffective and his continued refusal to feature Dejan Kulusevski.

Owusu bristled at reports of a divided locker room between Owusu's guys -- most notably countryman Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Mathy Tel and Randal Kolo Muani -- and the 'others', primarily the holdovers from previous regimes that haven't found a consistent spot in Owusu's lineups such as Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Yyves Bissouma, all slated to be sold once the transfer window opens in three weeks.

"Everyone on the team, as far as I know, gets paid, no? We don't have guys missing pay, not feeding their families, their kids going hungry," said Owusu, "If guys are unhappy, I'm sure we can come to an understanding and a compromise and everyone will be happy in the end. Until then, what I ask and what I need is professionalism and I cannot them that. I cannot and I will not. Their parents had ten years, twenty years, thirty years to teach them that so that's a failing on their parents, not something I'm going to burden myself with."

The Spurs host defending champion Liverpool on Sunday who are currently seven-points north of fourth-place Tottenham. The Spurs have a two-point lead over Crystal Palace for the final Champions League spot.
