From Wayne Phillips:
Kos may have been offside but you never mentioned that Kane was also offside when he assisted Son to equalise AND Sterling was fouled twice at 2-1 – one a nailed-on penalty, the other a great tackle by Rose which I have often seen given as penalties.
Spurs’ perennial problem? Not enough money due to the commitments to a new stadium, so not enough squad depth. So far too dependent on three or four players – Kane, Alli (surely he will leave in the summer?), Alderweireld, Lloris and Wanyama – but no one to match their level when they are off form or injured.
I suppose once in 20 years (for Spurs to finish ahead of Arsenal) is worth a punt but I still don’t see it happening? Do you genuinely think it will as much as it could …?
Keep up the good work!
Myles says:
Spurs fans have an inferiority complex about Arsenal, who are 10 years ahead of them in commercial development.
Spurs are inferior but many still say that Arsenal and Spurs are rivals. I say: not really. Only when they play each other
The next two months will tell us whether Spurs have learned from their mistakes last season,when they blew their title challenge at Stamford Bridge.
They were 2-0 up but chucked a years work down the toilet in half an hour.
Have they learned? I don’t know.
Of course many Arsenal fans like you will pray that Dele Alli is sold this summer.
But he won’t be. Dele is far too young and knows that and doesn’t want to go and Pochettino doesn’t wanna sell him.
I’ll bet my house on Dele Alli playing for Spurs next season.
The way Spurs play suits him and Pochettino has designed their style to allow him to do what he does best: score goals.
Their high-energy team creates a lot and miss a lot… but they also score a lot.
In the second half of a season I start to look at who is scoring the goals.
Whereas Arsenal is a more of a one-man team, with the bionic Sanchez scoring as many PL goals as Costa: 15 each.
Zlatan has 14 and Kane, having missed a lot of games, has 13.
While Deli Alli has the same number as Sergio Aguero: 11 goals.
