Lost to struggling West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth. Beat an in-form Spurs (and Mourinho). So, which side will turn up against Southampton...?

But that's assuming teams only come to defend from start to finish, like Newcastle did. Otherwise, we need the entire team to turn up and dominate these smaller teams so Alonso won't be a liability for us. Don't think we want that, do we? Having 2 FBs like Liverpool do will be ideal.

Problem is, he's good in a back 3/5 where his defensive flaws aren't so obvious and he can focus on going forward but he's totally hopeless in a back 4 when he's tasked to do with attacking and defending.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

"I hope Rudiger recovers quick from the broken ribs" "They came with Antonio Conte's system"

He was on one today. Will give him that.

Mourinho being all salty in his interview.

He's lost all 3 games against the big teams at Spurs. L 1-2 Man United L 1-3 Bayern L 0-2 Chelsea

Wasn't even tested defensively today...

Our last 2 wins at Spurs, including today's, had seen us played the back 3/5. Conteball FTW!

I don't know about thrashing but defeats, am talking about defeats!

Still unhappy he picked Azpi over James and started Mount?

It's almost 50-50, Tomo. Stop trying to make it sound as if we turn up every time in such situations!

Lampard's first Big 6 win comes against Mourinho and Spurs. Has also won both of his games against Mourinho!

That was unexpected, I must admit but WHAT A FUCKING WIN!

Worth remembering that we have not kept a clean sheet AWAY from home in domestic competitions in 2019...

Game could be perfect for Pulisic/CHO if the counter attacking plan is on.

In the league then.
