We look much worse. Again still don't know how it relates, the fact that we've looked a bit shaky at the back doesn't mean Spurs don't also. Can't really be bothered to argue about it, we haven't looked the same without Mings, but Spurs also look a bit shit at the back too. Both can be true.

Ive explained the point and how it relates. Spurs defence looks bettee than ours. So if theirs isnt good whats ours? Id say spurs look like a very solid defensive unit so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth could've scored a couple v them and Fernandes missed a total free header at 0-0 that he'd never miss v us. Let's see how well it holds up at Anfield and Newcastle when the time comes.

Villaphan04 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Selling Sanchez, so they don't really have a lot of center back depth.... especially if Romero gets injured again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Dier's still there isn't he? Was some Fulham interest so you'd have thought he'd have been o.k with taking a slight wage cut but still playing in London and for a decent mid table team. When people talk about Angeball and all that really to me he's dropped two of the most Spurs players ever permanently, Dier and Hojbjerg and surprise surprise the whole unit looks far more cohesive.

You forgot to mention all the new players they signed New keeper cb rb maddison and bissouma who hardly played last ssason. Thats half the team. But they really havebt been tested yet.

DJBOB Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Spurs under Ange will see something similar to us under UE. He's a good coach. But like many - he's only a few injuries away from playing players out of position to keep them on the pitch. Son is injury prone and Richarlison has scored less goals than Cash. Their CB situation aside from their top 2 is unenviable. Healthy - they'll be a threat and they're already knocked out of one cup and not in any competitions so they should be fresh!

United got spanked 5-0 by brentford warly start of last season. They always start slowly.
