Well, that wasn't quite the start we had in mind…

After a summer full of optimism, Spurs opened the new season with a dismal 3–0 defeat to Brentford. Graham, Thom and special guest Owen pick through what went wrong and ask how much we should really read into one very poor performance.

Was the squad properly prepared? Does the midfield have enough quality and physicality? How quickly can De Zerbi get his new-look Spurs side playing the football he wants — and how much difference will Savinho, Marmoush and the rest of the reinforcements make?

We also discuss the defensive concerns, whether Spurs need another right-back, the futures of Bergvall and Sarr, the injury situation and De Zerbi's controversial five-man leadership group.

Plus, Thom's Teaser returns, we make our predictions for Charlton and Newcastle, and finish by finding some reasons to be positive about the season ahead.

Come on you Spurs! 🐓
