Thomas Frank praises Tottenham trio Destiny Udogie, Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus after Spurs mount excellent comeback to take a point at Brighton. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 Great mentality to come back. Of course you need structure and tactics but it’s mentality that pulls you through when it’s tough. I loved the way we started the game. If there as going to be a winner, maybe I’m biased but I thought it should have been us. 1:54 Udogie was exceptional going forward and defensively. 2:21 Xavi was impressive too. He had a great pre-season but he’s still adapting to the new environment. 2:50 I think Simons can play as a left winger and come inside. He can play as a 10 too. 3:12 Very pleased to have built the mentality and resilience so quickly. It’s a good group of players who want to perform. They wanted to win. It was our most complete performance of the season. 4:20 Kudus’ work ethic has been really good. His hold up play is brilliant, he doesn’t lose 50/50s. He’s so creative and so strong. 5:05 It’s a great strike for their second goal but Vicario will be kicking himself. 5:20 We try and put a clear structure in place. Any player can keep developing. 6:10 We defended very well and the high press was very good. We controlled the game and created so many good opportunities. 6:57 We’ve played five Premier League games and have had four good performances. 7:35 Happy with Odobert. He looked lively. He had time to turn and move forward. A good first start of the season. 7:56 Hopefully Kolo Muani will just miss the one game. 8:08 I’ve got three extremely good full backs. There was no reason to just throw Destiny in. We will need all three throughout the season. 8:55 You always want to control but I liked how aggressive we were going forward. We looked dangerous. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
