I’ve made no effort to conceal my contempt for much of the Spurs Academy product in the past, because the endless hoo-ha over players that very few had seen play, who then only went on to underwhelm was fatiguing.

Crikin looks to be on his way and it’s great to see a coach of Mourinho’s stature feature the lad in an elite game – even if it was on the bench.
