Might aswell be his third as he'll lead them to about 8th if he lasts the full season. Look through Spurs team now and half of them are past their best or mediocre bar the forward players, it's very average compared to what likes of Chelsea and Man. United have in midfield positions. Would be a big statement win for Everton given how bad their record away to top 6 teams is, they've looked very solid at the back so that's a good sign for them.

Good players. It's a mentality issue with them. Holding onto the 1-0 here would be huge statment for them. Lost away to Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wolves, Liverpool, Man. City, Bournemouth and us last season so pretty poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Mourinho truly is done. This Spurs side is looking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Leeds will finish top half, I think they'll be in the relegation picture... Statistics are already showing my prediction will be more likely.

HongKongVillan Posted September 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Spurs used to be quite exciting to watch with the quick tempo and flair. This so far is so uninspiring Might think about putting money on the special one to get the first PL sacking Edited September 13, 2020 by HongKongVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Its a pretty poor Spurs team when think about it compared other top teams. Kane, Son, Davies and Alderweireld are the only capable players for me maybe Lucas and Bergwijn but the rest are meh. Alli and Lloris have gone backwards and have lost Eriksen, Dembele, Vertonghen, Trippier in recent seasons without replacing them even Llorente was better than what they have as back up Doherty is a very good wing back but a poor full back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost a bit of pace in last 18 months. The big problem for Spurs is half their squad knew losing the CL final was the end of the cycle. Yet the only major player they moved on quickly was Trippier. Kept Eriksen for another six months before selling him for lower price and still know you have players like Aurier, Lamela, Rose all hanging around waiting to be sold. Moura much better as impact sub for last 20 than starting aswell. Son and Kane will probably bail them out in plenty of games this season but behind that their midfield is miles behind what likes of Man. United and Chelsea will be putting out. Guess Mourinho will go all in to win europa league and sack off the league just like he did in his first year at Man. United but dangerous strategy.

villalad21 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Pochettino is obviously wating around for a PL job. He'd be in a job by now otherwise. I have a suggestion to him.

Chindie Posted September 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2020 Spurs looked absolutely woeful in that second half. They probably had the better chances in the first half, but in the second they barely even looked arsed. Mourinho will blow up soon enough.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Its more than Mourinho that is wrong there, apart from Son and Kane they are a mid table quality squad now. They have seriously lost their mojo recruitment wise too, Hojberg and Doherty are underwhelming signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Everton looking good. For the money they've spent and with Ancelotti they should be. Also we've dropped places today down to 7th. Surely we need make sure that we don't drop any more spots.

mikeyp102 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 So all promoted teams concede at least 3 goals.. none have improved their defence from last season. Could be hard for them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply an outstanding season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
