Look at the current Spurs back four...

Tanganga - Sanchez - Dier - Reguilon

Doesn't scream 'clean sheet' does it? But they've got two in two matches, including one against the champions.

Early days of course, but it's easy to conclude that a key factor in this is that Oliver Skipp is a TITAN walking the earth. The longer the season goes on, perhaps the more we will realise just how important he was for us. Obviously we know that already.

We lost two out of the three most important players in a promotion-winning season (I'd argue Hanley being the third). Buying ready-made replacements is impossible on our budget. Such is life.
