Speaking to SPURSPLAY afterwards, it was put to Thomas that he’d always said that there would be more and more to come from the France international striker. “Yeah, and we definitely saw some of that, no doubt,” he said.
“We’re all impatient. I’m impatient, everyone is impatient, but Randal is coming into the club late, with no pre-season. That means he’s not at the fitness level he needs to be – he’s still not at the fitness level he needs to be. Then he’s getting two setbacks and that’s why it just takes time, unfortunately, but tonight you saw some of that.”
Asked further about Randal in his post-match press conference, Thomas said: “Today we saw what hopefully we can expect. I think even two goals and an assist in every game is probably too much. I would love to get that every single game!
“As I said the whole time, he came in late with no pre-season, not top fit, had two setbacks, especially with the dead leg and then the broken jaw. Today we saw more of it. He’s still not top fit, so hopefully we’ll come even more.”
