Yeah, I'm sure losing their manager had no effect at all...Yes with the same players who hadn't been beaten at home for a year.

So you would have expected us to beat them in that case, which we did yet you still feel the need to criticise.Yeah, I'm sure losing their manager had no effect at all...
No, I just found it funny that you hyped up beating Brighton away and ignored the context in which it took place. Fair enough, it was a decent win but hardly something to write home about. Spurs still looked poor against both Chelsea and Arsenal who are their actual competitors.So you would have expected us to beat them in that case, which we did yet you still feel the need to criticise.
I'm just saying it was a good result against a decent team in response to someone saying other than Chelsea and arsenal we haven't played anyone decent.No, I just found it funny that you hyped up beating Brighton away and ignored the context in which it took place.

Okay, fair enough.I'm just saying it was a good result against a decent team in response to someone saying other than Chelsea and arsenal we haven't played anyone decent.
I think he is more likely to sign a new contract with SpursI think he will be on the first plane to Turin if Allegri gets the boot and Juve call
Sure. I’ll admit that I don’t particularly enjoy how you play and it does remind me very much of Jose at United. I can guarantee if it were United posters would be complaining on here about it if the roles reversed (I know, we are always complaining!).Let's see what happens on Wednesday. Like I said we rarely get anything from Old Trafford so it will be a big test for us. At the end of the day there are no easy games in this league and you have to get results off the 'lesser' clubs to do anything. We are doing this consistently so far.
Yeah pretty much how I see it as well and yes I'm very happy with how it's going. There are some Spurs supporters complaining about how we play but I honestly think they are mental. Conte has been incredible for us.Sure. I’ll admit that I don’t particularly enjoy how you play and it does remind me very much of Jose at United. I can guarantee if it were United posters would be complaining on here about it if the roles reversed (I know, we are always complaining!).
I think people have reservations due to how far away you looked from Arsenal (who both Liverpool and United have given a game to) and Chelsea (who weren’t particularly great at that point under Tuchel). You do seem to conceded plenty of chances which I find unusual under Conte.
I’m sure you’ll be delighted just going about your business though under the radar. Top 4 simply has to be the aim and perhaps how you get that this season doesn’t really matter that much.
Yeah, Brighton who have had absolutely nothing happen to them recently...Considering we beat Brighton away last week who had not lost at home for almost a year I'd say you are talking shite. Big game on Wednesday of course, we rarely get anything from Old Trafford.
He is pushing to win the League, though, which is as far fetched as City would kindly allow. He is also pushing to beat Pochettino’s 86 points and say he however established a new benchmark for the franchise and couldn’t do more in the given circumstances. At worst, all this huffing & puffing should get them a comfortable top 4.Sure. I’ll admit that I don’t particularly enjoy how you play and it does remind me very much of Jose at United.

Yeah it was his calf. He was devastated after the game so it could be a bad one which would rule him out of the world cup for Brazil. Fingers crossed it's not as bad as that.Did I hear correct Richarlison suffered an injury? I'm crossing my fingers for the results of the extent of his injury.
I hope for Spurs sake it's not as bad, like you say. But I'm a Thiago fan.Yeah it was his calf. He was devastated after the game so it could be a bad one which would rule him out of the world cup for Brazil. Fingers crossed it's not as bad as that.
What happened to that Kulusevski guy? I thought he looked quite good for Spurs the times I seen him playing.Yeah it was his calf. He was devastated after the game so it could be a bad one which would rule him out of the world cup for Brazil. Fingers crossed it's not as bad as that.
Hojberg and BentancurNot only do we have one of the top 2 strikers in world football, we also have one of the best central CM pairings in the premiership in Hoberg and Bentancur, spurs will be pushing city the hardest come the end of the season.
His relationship with juve has taken a turn for worse ever since he left so I doubt that, his inter stint certainly didn't endear him to juve fans either.I think he will be on the first plane to Turin if Allegri gets the boot and Juve call
Well they are good at what they do I guess, they just have very little creativity in that space and can often find themselves against 3 man midfields. They have too many players that are the same in that midfield area, should have brought in a player with an eye for a pass instead of Bissouma.Hojberg and Bentancur
He got injured playing for Sweden, might be back for Wednesday. He is a fantastic player.What happened to that Kulusevski guy? I thought he looked quite good for Spurs the times I seen him playing.
If you put Hojberg and Bentancur in any team in the league that parks the bus with 5 defenders behind them, they’d look competent. They are both bang average players.Well they are good at what they do I guess, they just have very little creativity in that space and can often find themselves against 3 man midfields.

This is literally the best start to a premier league season ever for our club.He’s performing as Nuno would have been expected to if he were successful and in that situation the fans would be calling for a more progressive manager.
Yeah that's exactly what everyone is sayingOh yeah we're playing them on Wednesday.
They are a superb team and without a doubt will batter us. Conte is incredible, and honestly if Spurs don't win the league, City will have done something truly extraordinary to stop them.
You clearly haven't watched them enough. Especially Bentancur who is an absolute gem of a player.If you put Hojberg and Bentancur in any team in the league that parks the bus with 5 defenders behind them, they’d look competent. They are both bang average players.
Watched most of the games and he isn’t all that mate. Spurs haven’t had the best midfielders recently so anyone would look a gem now.You clearly haven't watched them enough. Especially Bentancur who is an absolute gem of a player.
Only City and Arsenal are playing dominant football where they look like winning every game at the moment. We certainly aren't, which leaves Chelsea who sacked their manager but are starting to look decent again and Liverpool who are still good going forward but shaky at the back.If this Spurs team playing like this ends up "comfortably" top 4, what on earth does that say for the quality of this league right now? still a long way to go, I'd dread to think this level of performance can carry on getting so many points.
Great, but Arsenal looked head and shoulders above you.This is literally the best start to a premier league season ever for our club.
Let's see what happens over a full season then.Great, but Arsenal looked head and shoulders above you.
He shouldn't be included here, he has never been prolific and his performances haven't exactly been great so far.Only City and Arsenal are playing dominant football where they look like winning every game at the moment. We certainly aren't, which leaves Chelsea who sacked their manager but are starting to look decent again and Liverpool who are still good going forward but shaky at the back.
Spurs are ugly but effective, solid at the back but with Kane, Son and Richarlison for plenty of goals where we will fall short.
I think this is more to do with Conte ball, it is not pretty. Sit in a low block, cede possession, 5 across the back, soak up pressure, try and restrict the other team to shots from range then hit with fast counters.Are spurs fans getting giddy again?
They’ve looked awful in virtually all their games this season.
I think you are doing them a disservice, they are both DM's, not flashy, not progressive, but they are very good at what they do. Who are the better DM's in the league? Hojbjerg has been putting up some impressive stats I thought recently?If you put Hojberg and Bentancur in any team in the league that parks the bus with 5 defenders behind them, they’d look competent. They are both bang average players.
A bit like when Utd finished 2nd under Ole. It was like “how the feck did that happen”.I've seen almost every minute of Spurs this season. There is little doubt that Conte has made you harder to beat. Very organised. You seem well drilled in those moments where a quick attacking transition (counter attack) presents itself. Those are the positives
The negatives are that it's almost always a tough watch, and the common theme in most of your fixtures is that the result could have gone either way. You create a handful of chances, and you give up a handful of chances, and the variance has been very much with you so far. It's likely that won't last.
