Your front line's not so great either. They could use a guy that is scoring for fun.

If only....

Harry Kane earned his team 3 points this weekend though.

Whatever you want to say...Spurs fought like starving junkyard dogs. I'd be happy with the effort.

Effort was good, but the talent level of the team today isn't close to good enough. The years of terrible transfers, this summer included, catching up to Spurs yet again.

Might as well enjoy it while you can, because we’re decimated by injuries and lost Bentancur again today. Not much can be done with that.

It’s as good as can be expected under the circumstances. We’ve just got too many guys out and you’re not going to win games in that state.

I mean "enjoy it while you can"....well their next three are City, West Ham and Newcastle, so might be three more weeks of enjoying it. As great as the start was this year for Spurs it could unravel pretty quick here.

Oh I will!
And I'll enjoy the excuses too, injuries happen to everyone, look at KDB.
We just missed Odegaard for 3 matches but kept moving along.

When you are operating as a 2 man team (again); its always a risk that management has to be responsible for.
Madison was playing over his head to prop up an average team.

great to see both Shaw and Mainoo in the starting XI for United today. They've badly missed Shaw, and Mainoo looked extremely promising in preseason before his injury.

Well I think we have 9/10 guys out? Like of course it’s going to unravel. I know some people seem to think it’s just plug and play, but when you have a whack of starting players out, it’s going to catch up with you.

And it’s not just excuses. It’s literally our best players out for a couple months. You have to be pretty daft to think that expectations wouldn’t change in the face of this.

It's a classic dyche team, outside of a couple wingers they are a well organized bunch of big tall guys kicking the #### out of the other team but not exactly finishers. Tarkowski for my money somehow gets away with more fouls than any other defender in the league he almost always has hands up on the opposing player he is defending.

I dont think they will as, dyche is too good at what he does but would glad to see them go down especially with all their whining about being penalized for breaking the rules

Yes everyone gets injuries, but they are hurting in key positions. When you’re not a petro-club, the impact is much greater.

But I'm not gonna let Slava use excuses without a bit of ribbing, am I?

RIP El Tel.

Probably the best English manager in my lifetime along with Bobby Robson.

And probably Spurs best.
