Isak has been fantastic. Didnt Spurs get a spanking last time they played Newcastle away?

Didnt Romero get sent off for the exact same thing earlier this season? Came into a tackle, won the ball, follow through made contact with the shin, red carded.

I never really thought about this when I made the post, but you are right, I was looking more at the footballing aspect. To put it into perspective. If Son played for United he would be 5th in the all time scorer list, above RVN, Ronaldo, Best, Scholes, he is on 160 so just shy of Giggs' 167...

Underrated - Son Feel he isnt really talked about as one of the elite level attackers of this era, which he really is. You can look at his xG and goals, and other varying stats but he has now moved quietly into the 5th all time scorer for Spurs, passing Defoe and Cliff Jones. Coming to the end...

Definitely was getting back to his best before his injury.

Both are not a signing that will take a team to the next level. But both are ok squad options I guess. Im not sure who I would take out of the 2, McTom is in his prime years now whereas Gallagher's got a few years before he gets there.

Mainoo is not going anywhere, didn't he only sign a long term contract last year? Spurs are looking for midfielders, that much is true, probably to replace Hojbjerg and Skipp, but have been recruiting young players like Sarr who is now part of the first team, and recently Bergvall, some young...

Could have easily been a 4-0 spanking by Fulham. I think at the start of the season people predicted, and rightly so, that Spurs could be on the end of a few big defeats. Just did not think it would be to Fulham. I think overall he is doing an ok job, they lost their best player and a...

I guess the question now is, how does he compare against Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil. I think everyone is in agreement he is not getting a game over Son. But is he a better squad option than those two?

Brennan Johnson

He's like Johnson, an average player who fits in well with that high intensity pressing game, he is never getting in front of Son on the left. But as a bench option you would probably take him over Solomon or Gil as a backup to Son.

Villa looked leggy, they have only had 3 days since their last match? On the red card, back in the day that was a fine yellow. Nowadays dangerous play, this discussion wouldn't be happening if he had come in with a hard challenge and taken the ball. But he had zero interest in the ball and was...

I agree, he's pacey, but apart from that? His delivery into the box has been rubbish, not really a great eye for a pass, his shooting is average. I guess Postecoglu likes him because he gets about and puts in a shift in that press from the front style.

I rate Villa, they don't have the star power of Spurs or United players, like a Bruno or Son. They are just a very well rounded and drilled team. Should be a good match to watch vs Spurs who only know how to play one way it seems.

Some are more egregious than others. On the Chelsea side of things, who do they go in for if they sack Poch? Jose or Conte back at the helm? Both will want to build their own team, which means more player turnover. They already tried the low key up and coming manager with Potter, so what next?
