It was the kind of performance we saw at the end of Poch where we dominated possession but created zero chances.
The gift of a penalty was a penalty all day long. Created because we needed our forward to come back to defend because of defenders and midfielders can't handle it.
Edit: I do agree with where we are a draw against a fellow midtable team is a good result for us.

It was a gift of a penalty because there's no way that's getting called all year long everytime it happens. Yeah, there was "contact", but it's incidental and in a contact sport. It's completely ridiculous, and when you have to spend that long rewinding and rewatching it to come to that decision it tells you all you need to know about the sheer incompetence of the officlals in the English game.
Maybe I'm easily impressed. But I was pleased to see an entirely new system implemented pretty well, and a pressing and attacking style again. Of course there are issues. It's the first game of the season and we just sold our best player yesterday. But Brentford is tough at home. They slow things down and try to counter, which makes life harder for a team like Tottenham.
