Yeah, the dropoff between Kane, Son and their 3rd attacker (and neither of those best on the right so that's where he plays unless they use a 10 and Doherty as a proper wingback which could also work, though Kane is so good dropping deep that keeping space for him to do so seems wise) is massive. Makes the dropoff from Salah and Mane to Firmino look small by comparison.It won't be hard for Bale to improve on Spurs' options for a similar position, even if he is only ever 80% of the player he used to be. The squad is good but I wouldn't say that a single one of their other options for RW is PL top 4 quality.
Will have to be a very low points total for Spurs to be in contention this season, probably 75. No chance they'll shoot 90 points especially as they'll give lots to win europa league.I absolutely detest Mourinho as a manager -
However, I have a feeling that spurs will win the title this year or be one of the top 3 main teams who are competing for it.
Mourinho has fantastic, straight to the point 2nd season's at all his clubs. When you add the fact that Bale is in their team too - even if he isnt as great as he once was - he could bring that winning mentality and quality to the team alongside players like Son & Kane.
If they are in with a chance by February, Mourinho will definitely toss away the EL.Will have to be a very low points total for Spurs to be in contention this season, probably 75. No chance they'll shoot 90 points especially as they'll give lots to win europa league.
Then he will end up empty handed.If they are in with a chance by February, Mourinho will definitely toss away the EL.
Hammers have been good recently, riding a bit of form, put Wolves and Leicester to the sword 4-0 and 3-0.If Spurs thrash West Ham today, I believe they will be nailed on for top 4. Mourinho vs Moyes. Battle of our exes.
He didn’t at United.I absolutely detest Mourinho as a manager -

It was his greatest ever managerial achievement.He didn’t at United.
They were v good to watch 1st half against Newcastle, 2nd against Southampton and you know what they did to us.100% guarantee Spurs will be playing shit on a stick football, whatever happens.
I know it's just the start of the season but both Liverpool and City dont look as dominant as they did for the last couple years. Injuries to their CB's etc just make it worse aswell.Will have to be a very low points total for Spurs to be in contention this season, probably 75.

Our game was a farce. Two good halfs out the other three matches sounds about right. And when they were bad they were really fecking grim to watch.They were v good to watch 1st half against Newcastle, 2nd against Southampton and you know what they did to us.
Oh I agree with that but need to remember Leicester could've won the league with about 73 points in the end. Even if Liverpool drop extra 10 points than their average over last 2 seasons which looks likely that's still them finishing on 89 points.I know it's just the start of the season but both Liverpool and City dont look as dominant as they did for the last couple years.

Hell there is people saying that even Everton could have a Leicester type go at the league too. If that's even remotely possible then I dont see why Jose on his second season couldnt make spurs work when the whole league seems to be less strong or consistent.
Well that doesn't sound like a 100% guarantee and with Bale dropping in alongside Son and Kane be hard for those 3 to produce shitty sticks.Our game was a farce. Two good halfs out the other three matches sounds about right. And when they were bad they were really fecking grim to watch.
Well if any manager can produce a shitty stick from those 3, Mourinho can...Well that doesn't sound like a 100% guarantee and with Bale dropping in alongside Son and Kane be hard for those 3 to produce shitty sticks.
If ever there was a season to basically ignore home and away records, then this is surely it?Home win stats for teams winning title in last decade
Man. United- 18/19 won
Man. City- 18/19 won
Man. United 16/19 won
Man. City- 17/19 won
Chelsea- 15/19 won
Leicester - 12/19 won
Chelsea- 18/19 won
Man. City- 16/19 won and 18/19 in 18/19 season.
Liverpool- 18/19 won
Of course BCD will probably make all home records worse than on average for top 6 but shows Spurs have little margin for error in their remaining 17 home games unless it's a Leicester style season.
Yes probably but still near impossible to win the league if you're regularly dropping points at home. Spurs well set to get off the mark at home anyway today.If ever there was a season to basically ignore home and away records, then this is surely it?
Honestly I’m not a fan of either of them but screw it, id enjoy it for something different.Ok so stay with me here. If they keep Kane, Son and Bale fit, and if City and ourselves both fall off a bit from previous seasons...could a Mourinho led Spurs win the league?
City look like they aren’t as formidable as they were, and we might be without Van Dijk for the entire season.
It leaves it open for someone else.
Your front three will be mental if Bale stays fit.We look very strong at the moment
You should try yourself in the CAF "Jinx Unit" career. We need more magicians like you.100% guarantee Spurs will be playing shit on a stick football, whatever happens.
