Rate the players from 1⁄2 to 5 stars. This was a tale of two halves — not the best opening 45, but significantly better in the second half. [Tottenham](https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com) have yet to be fully convincing in any of their first three Premier League matches.

The system is not infallible, of course, but with the formation being an exception rather than the rule, it invites greater scrutiny whenever it shows a weakness. It’s hard to do that when you’re outnumbered most weeks. But perhaps that and other orthodoxies need to be challenged.
