He appears to have matured a but this season I think.
Premier League Not So Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Our midfield depth is poor (Sissoko/Winks stepping up big time this season though, both been fantastic) but otherwise our depth is very good. Both Lamela and Lucas are excellent squad options, could do with a better backup striker than Llorente but Son is a really good striker, so no biggie.
Our depth isn't great and I've complained about in the past, but plenty of players from the squad have stepped up this season. We also have pretty good depth at CB with Foyth emerging, so again nothing major, there is talent throughout the squad in every position.
Liverpool are a better team than you.
There is potential there but not too much ability outside of your starting XI IMO. That’s probably what is holding you back from a realistic title challenge I think.
Makes no difference mate, the rest of the season might as well be considered an audition between Poch and Ole for the top job in English football.
I like that tone.
This season so far they have the edge but it's a long season.
I think we would go for Howe or Jardim, leaning towards the latter as someone with experience with CL football (which I expect us to be in next season now) and better experience with working with top players.
No because football fans are hypocritical. This is not news to anybody, right?
True but City should've started their best players yesterday. Having a look at their fixtures, don't see Spurs slipping up until the CL resumes. They've got Chelsea in the League Cup, that'll be two cracking games.
He'll never be likeable for me but he really is excellent.
I don't think there's much in it.
I’d love to see Howe get a crack at a big job, think he’d do well. Can understand the pull towards Jardim though.
Not news to me no but some resident Spurs fans on here would have you believe the media is bias etc because of the links.
I do have a soft spot for Spurs; kinda remind me of (*for NBA fans here...) pre-2011 Dallas Mavericks, a consistently solid team with much respected coach that was deemed as perennial bottlers until they finally went and won the whole damn thing in amazing fashion. Well, although Harry Kane's infinitely less likable than Dirk Nowitzki.
Us playing exciting football seems to concide with Dier not being in midfield.
Coincidence .. I think not.
Coincidence .. I think not.
Me thinks Spurs will go for Howe in case we get Poch.
The edge? We're clearly better than you bruh
Liverpool is very strong this year
Me too, until I met @GlastonSpur.
He’s a CB, and a pretty good one, I wish he would realise that. Sissoko has been great today too.
Definitely not surprising. Every time I watch Dier play I just see one of a 100 bog-standard defensive midfielders the PL has seen. Ordinary player.
Another overrated Englishman.
Lamela on for Alli. Must have been hurt by Pickford.
You are.
So far this season I don't get how anybody could argue otherwise, you have been a step above. You've scored more, conceded less, and most importantly have 6 more points .. as well as beating us away from home. There is no point pretending otherwise, it's just delusional to do so.
We're very good, but you are looking like a proper title winner and there is no shame in that. It's a long season though and we're improving game by game, so who knows? I think the biggest obstacle to us mounting any kind of challenge is that we still have to go to the Etihad and Anfield.
Hopefully a precaution.
Bullet dodged.
I hope it's nothing serious. Been fantastic for us recently.
Spurs back in the title race with this win. Crazy how they have 4 losses but still only 2 points behind City and 4 points behind Liverpool.
Like @InLevyITrust says, I think if he wants to have a proper career in the future he needs to pick a position and go with it, and I believe that position to be a central defender. He's prone to errors there and far from perfect, but he's much more suited to that role because his lack of mobility and limitations on the ball mean that he can be a liability in midfield.
At the moment yeah, like I said still plenty of games to go.
What a finish from Eriksen
Four for Spurs.
Happy bloody days, quality!!
Beauty of a finish
Everton are done out here
Great game and Christmas period.
Poch filling out his application here after Ole gave his in yesterday.
Eriksen is some player. I wouldn't be mad if Poch brought him with him.

Everton are so so bad 
It's been a weekend of stunners
Everton cannot defend properly.
