Here are our Tottenham player ratings after the goalless draw at Brentford in the Premier League on New Year's Day
Tottenham returned to Thomas Frank's former club Brentford on New Year's Day and here are our Spurs player ratings from the 0-0 draw.
Frank made three changes from the side that won 1-0 at Crystal Palace with captain Cristian Romero back after his one-game suspension, coming into the line-up with Joao Palhinha and Wilson Odobert for Kevin Danso, the injured Lucas Bergvall and Randal Kolo Muani.
Last season's top scorer Brennan Johnson was not involved as he was undergoing his medical ahead of a £33.5milliom move to Crystal Palace after being told on New Year's Eve by Frank and sporting director Fabio Paratici that he was not part of the club's plans going forward, football.london understands.
Spurs could have done with some attacking inspiration in a desperately dull game that had the travelling fans singing 'boring, boring Tottenham' along with constant nostalgic chants for former players and managers.
Neither goalkeeper had much to do in either half other than Guglielmo Vicario having to push away a Vitaly Janelt header in the second period while Caoimhin Kelleher comfortably held a Richarlison effort in added time.
While Frank got a good reception from his old fans, the Tottenham supporters appeared to boo him as he walked over to applaud them at the final whistle.
Here are our Spurs player ratings:
Guglielmo Vicario
Making his 100th appearance for the club, his only real save of note came in the 63rd minute from Janelt's header. Dealt with set pieces and crosses well on the whole. 7
Pedro Porro
Defended solidly enough without impressing with his attacking play. 6
Cristian Romero
Had a running battle with Thiago and made a mess of a challenge on the run on the Brazilian before the hour mark but it was not punished. Got better and better in the final moments and made some big challenges to help keep the clean sheet. 7
Micky van de Ven
Made an acrobatic clearance in his own box 15 minutes in and was in top form throughout with plenty of sliding challenges. 8
Djed Spence
Made a mess of a duel with Kayode in the box and the Brentford man got the ball to Thiago who fired well over the bar from eight yards out. Had a couple of runs forward without much end product. 6
Rodrigo Bentancur
Battled away in the centre of the pitch and while some of his passing was sloppy, he was busy throughout. 7
Joao Palhinha
Back in the team and plenty of work to do but the pairing of him and Bentancur was never going to produce much going forward. 6
Mohammed Kudus
Other than one shot over the bar he kept running into clusters of Brentford players. 5
Archie Gray
Pushed into an advanced midfield role and he had a curling shot blocked in the Brentford box in the early moments. Had a header blocked in front of goal from Richarlison's volleyed cross around the half hour mark. Had a penalty shout before the hour mark after being sandwiched between two Brentford players. Had more goal threat than the actual attackers. 6
Wilson Odobert
After his bright cameo against tired Palace legs, this was back to one of his weaker displays. Offered an outlet occasionally but needs to be stronger. After one poor attempted clearance led to a Janelt chance, the Frenchman followed that up by getting outpaced by 35-year-old Jordan Henderson. 5
Richarlison
Set up Gray for a chance and had a late weak effort saved but otherwise had little service, with hopeful punts upfield he had to run towards. 5
Subs
Randal Kolo Muani
Tried to make things happen on both flanks without much fortune. 5
