Tottenham vs Wolves LIVE: Even start as chances at a premium, Kane and Son not in game yet

Here are Alasdair’s thoughts on that first half from SpursOnce again after a bright start from Spurs fell flat with poor passing, a lack of numbers in the middle and a lack of movement down the flanks. Tottenham’s big players were off their game in the opening half with loose touches from their attacking trio and a failure from the two wing-backs to get forward enough. Ivan Perisic took some time to get going and looked sluggish at times down the right until the end of the half when he whipped in a good ball that Harry Kane headed over the top of the crossbar. On the other side Emerson Royal continues to show plenty of enthusiasm only without the quality or decision-making ability on the ball to create as a wing-back. Other than one late awkward moment, Davinson Sanchez has been the best of Spurs’ back three but the hosts could have conceded a few goals had Wolves been more clinical in the final third.If a half-time reshuffle from Conte and a few tough words do not do the trick then the Spurs boss will change things quickly and Richarlison could well be one of the first faces to emerge from the bench to increase the tempo, as well as possibly Yves Bissouma to help the hosts regain control in the centre of the pitch.!function(){return function e(t,n,r){function o(i,c){if(!n[i]){if(!t[i]){var u=”function”==typeof require&&require;if(!c&&u)return u(i,!0);if(a)return a(i,!0);var s=new Error(“Cannot find module ‘”+i+”‘”);throw s.code=”MODULE_NOT_FOUND”,s}var l=n[i]={exports:{}};t[i][0].call(l.exports,function(e){return o(t[i][1][e]||e)},l,l.exports,e,t,n,r)}return n[i].exports}for(var a=”function”==typeof require&&require,i=0;i0;)n.call(e,{data:o.shift(),target:e});else o.forEach(function(t){n.call(e,{data:t,target:e})})}}function r(e,t,n){e.dataEvents=e.dataEvents||{},e.dataEvents
