Why aren't Tottenham scoring, and is Sandro Tonali really to blame for it? A licence coach JJ and professional analyst Enya Collins say the data and the eye test agree — and it isn't Tonali.

Jim, Enya and JJ walk through Spurs 0-0 Everton from the system up: Archie Gray inverting from right back, Mateus Fernandes dropping into a back three, Van Hecke's progressive passing, and the half-space run that was on all first half. Enya's numbers show Tottenham won possession, progressive passes and touches in the box — 28 of them — and still lost on xG. JJ explains the David Moyes tweak that shut the midfield down after the break.

Then Jim asks the panel to tell him straight whether the £100m midfielder is the problem. The answer involves the 84th percentile, seventh in the Premier League, and a comparison with Rice and Caicedo you'll want to hear before the next Tonali pile-on.

Where the eye test meets the data. The 82nd Percentile.
