The View From The Lane: The Athletic FC's Spurs show

Spurs came from behind to rescue a result against Manchester United despite Rodrigo Bentancur’s red card. Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw to reflect on the game, including Spurs’ impressive first half, their frustrating finishing and their struggles to put the ball in the net.

We discuss Bentancur’s controversial red card, the team’s reaction to going down to ten men and Dominic Solanke’s crucial goal. Plus, what we made of Solanke’s performance as captain, and how important could this result be for De Zerbi’s Spurs.

The international break is finally over and Spurs are back in Premier League action on Saturday, with a huge game against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke and Elias Burke to discuss the latest from the international break, including Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke’s fitness, Mathys Tel’s impressive form for France Under-21s and the players who have spent the last two weeks working at Hotspur Way.

Then it’s a full preview of Manchester United. Should Roberto De Zerbi stick with his 4-3-3 or switch to a 4-2-3-1? Who should play in midfield? Is it time for James Maddison or Mohammed Kudus in the number 10 role? And what should Spurs’ front three look like?

Tottenham have been hit by a double injury blow with both Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke facing fitness concerns. So what does it mean for Roberto De Zerbi and his defence?

Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s Elias Burke and Dan Kilpatrick to discuss the latest injury news, as well as the players returning to fitness during the international break, including James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, and whether the extended break could finally give Spurs the chance to build some consistency. Plus, we answer your questions, including whether Spurs are getting an unfair pile-on, whether fans need to be more patient with De Zerbi as his football takes time to click, and the potential fallout from Manchester City’s financial breaches and whether Tottenham could have been one of the biggest victims.

What if Manchester City’s financial breaches changed the course of Tottenham’s history? With Pochettino speaking out about his time at Spurs and Friday marking ten years since Tottenham’s famous 2-0 win over City, we look back at a fascinating period in the club’s history.

Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s James Maw, Jack Pitt-Brooke and Dan Kilpatrick to discuss Poch's comments and whether Tottenham were unfairly disadvantaged during their best years in the modern era.

We then revisit the 2016-17 season, ten years on. Just how good was that Spurs team? How important were Dele Alli and Harry Kane, and did Tottenham miss their best chance of winning the Premier League?

Spurs finally scored a Premier League goal, but another defeat leaves them with just two points from their opening five games. So, after a 3-2 loss to Aston Villa, where does De Zerbi go from here?

Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s James Maw, Jack Pitt-Brooke and Dan Kilpatrick to look back on a frustrating afternoon, including Spurs’ bright first half, the chances they failed to take, Villa’s goals and another game where Tottenham struggled to fight back after falling behind.

We also ask how much pressure the Spurs boss is now under. And with the international break giving De Zerbi three weeks to work with his squad, what needs to change before Spurs return against Manchester United?
