With a three-goal win over Portsmouth, Tottenham won a clean away victory, which naturally satisfied the supporters of Tottenham. What makes them even happier is that several of the new signings who have been given the opportunity to play have performed well in this game!

McConn, who started at right-back, showed great adaptability, not only defending solidly to keep the Portsmouth players trying to open a breakthrough from him to no avail, but also getting involved in the attack to make Tottenham's right side attack more threatening, and provided an assist in the 79th minute when substitute Dempsey scored the game-winning goal!

Although the performance was not as impressive as McCone and Robben, Arshavin played just as well. The Russian, who replaced the unwell Cristiano Ronaldo as the starting right winger, won the recognition with his skillful dribbling skills and sharp off-ball movement, and even pierced Westerved's ten fingers with an imaginative volley in the 31st minute of the game!

As for Dempsey, who is believed to have been brought in by Tottenham for the purpose of developing the US market, the American midfielder who came on as a substitute for Steven Gerrard also scored his first goal for Tottenham after ten minutes. His excellent attacking awareness and ability to fight against his lean body are impressive, and his aggressive style of play and aggressive defensive attitude have changed many people's attitudes towards him, and they are starting to be optimistic about his prospects at Tottenham!

Of course, the success of the trio's first official performances at Tottenham was only one of the reasons for their individual prowess. On top of that, they would have to thank Arjen Robben – if it weren't for the Dutch Peter Pan who broke through Westerved's goal in just eight minutes, ruined the home team's tactical intentions and forced Portsmouth to give up the defensive initiative, they would not have gotten so many opportunities to perform!

Despite all these objective factors, McConn, Arshavin and Dempsey have made successful debuts in the Premier League and set their respective Tottenham journeys off to a good start.

After beating Portsmouth for their first league win of the new season, the Tottenham players returned to London for their first home game of the season on 20 August. And their opponent is McLaren's Middlesbrough!

Although Middlesbrough failed to recruit Mendieta and failed to qualify for the League Cup as he did in his previous life, George did not disdain this opponent. You know, McLaren's on-the-spot adjustment and improvisation ability is indeed not very good, but the quality of other aspects is still quite qualified. Otherwise, the FA would not have invited Eriksen to be the new manager of the Three Lions after his departure.

And, even without Mendieta, the strength of this Middlesbrough team should not be underestimated. Taking the starting lineup sent by McClaren in this game as an example, the goalkeeper is Australia's number one goalkeeper Schwarzer, the backline has three famous players such as Reziger, Southgate and Eschiogu, and the midfield has Parloer, Doriva and Downing and other powerful stars, and the forward combination is Hasselbaink and Viduka, who are famous in British Isles and even European football!

Although the average age of Middlesbrough's squad is on the older side, and most of the starters have entered the end of their careers, if anyone dares to despise this team because of this, then they will definitely be taught by these veterans of Middlesbrough! Not to mention, now that the season has just begun, these veterans who have rested for a summer do not have any physical problems, and their competitive state has been adjusted to a fairly high level!

Out of the importance of Middlesbrough and the consideration of watching the form of the players, George made a significant rotation of the starting line-up for this game. At the back, Cech and Stephen Carr are the two main players plus Dawson, Phil Neville, and Baines three substitutes, Mendieta is the core of the organization, Davies and Mascherano escort him, and the attacking trident in the front court is replaced by Robben, Ronaldo and Klose!

Despite sending a number of substitutes, that doesn't mean George doesn't take the game seriously. In fact, George did this because, in his opinion, Middlesbrough is arguably the best litmus test for the depth of a team's bench!

If it is a team that is a little worse, Tottenham can win by crushing it with a huge advantage in overall strength. And if it is a team that is a few points stronger than Middlesbrough, then George's arrangement is likely to have the desired effect, and it will also put Tottenham in a rather dangerous situation!

To George's relief, Bynes and Dawson lived up to their expectations. The former did a good job of defending Parlour's old fritter and providing a lot of support in attack with his precise crosses, while the latter, along with Phil Neville, managed to freeze Viduka and Hasselbaink and pull out two of Middlesbrough's most threatening knives up front!

If it is Hasselbaink and Viduka who are at the peak of their defense, then Dawson will definitely not be able to cope with them. The problem, however, is that they are now facing Hasselbaink and Viduka, who have already begun to decline in fitness and form. With the ability of Dawson and Phil Neville, it will not be a problem to deal with these two veterans.

In this game, Dawson's strong frontal defense and Neville Jr.'s all-round restrained Hasselbaink and Viduka, who relied on their bodies to eat, greatly reduced the threat of Middlesbrough in the offensive end, while Tottenham's attack was still sharp under the organization of Mendieta and Davies, making the visiting team tired!

In the end, when the game came to an end at the referee's whistle, the away Tottenham Hotspur beat the goalless Middlesbrough with a score of 3-0 and won the first two consecutive league games!

A week after beating Middlesbrough, Tottenham Hotspur at Ewood Park welcome a third round of Premier League fixtures against Blackburn. In the face of the violent book that does not want to make progress and has a conservative and backward tactical concept, Tottenham, which sent most of the main force, easily won a 3-0 victory!

It is worth mentioning that Steven Gerrard finally scored his first competitive goal since joining Tottenham. The former Reds captain opened the scoring for Tottenham with a powerful volley from Arjen Robben's cross in the twentieth minute!

In this way, after the first three rounds of the 2005-06 Premier League season, Tottenham, as one of the favorites to win the championship, won all three games, scored nine goals and did not concede a goal, and led the league standings with an extremely strong attitude!
