Spurs looked timid against United but here they are, taking the European champions apart. Weird...

If you have watched any Real game this season you will understand how poor their current form is. Not surprised spurs are destroying them

Board...

It's not just the board, they started the game with Harry Winks who in my opinion isn't a much bigger prospect than Lewis Baker

Yes, I am aware of that but still, you would expect better from the European and La Liga champions.

But hey ho, at least we aren't the only champions getting embarrassed in Europe.

Tbf every top league's champions haven't started well this season. Us, Real, Monaco. Juventus started to pick it up recently but they are still not at their best. Maybe it's the champion's syndrome.

All these teams that can actually retain the ball and use their quality in attack is the most depressing thing. You watch City and Spuds players fight and push, push, push. Understanding between all 11 players. Our players just give up when things get tough.

You can honestly say that at the moment Chelsea plays the worst football amongst the top 6 in the PL and even sides like Roma make us look painfully average.

Hary Winks started for England and manage to replace Dembele from starting 11. That should say something

We have some painfully average players

Spurs had an even worse window than us yet are smashing the champions of Europe not long after doing likewise to Dortmund and Liverpool. Conte has acted like a schoolchild over the summer window, maybe if he just got on with it like Pochettino did we might have some more points, home and abroad.

Did they? They already had arguably the best Xai in the league last season and only lost Walker. They've not missed him even a little bit. Added Llorente and Sanchez who looks great.

Spurs and City through

Lol. Spurs had worse window than us ??

They had better squad than us last season. They replaced their backup rb with aurier. Upgrade their backup stiker and add davidson to their cb rank. Their only need for sometime now is to find a hazard type player but that will be difficult for them other than that they have very little weaknesses.

Put it this way when Pochettino was thinking transfer plans, i highly doubt he had in mind he was going to sign no one till late August and i bet Llorente Aurier and Sanchez were very far away from plan A. He has also had the likes of Ji, N Kodou (whatever his name is) and Sissoko dumped on him in previous summers, Conte would start world war 3 if we did that to him.

Should have won the league last season then with their superior squad. This is the same Spurs who looked toothless vs Utd last weekend? I think the lack of pressure (which cannot be overstated enough) to win anything is a huge advantage for them over us, City and Utd, heck even add Arsenal to that somewhat. The coach knows he can bring in young players or not win the league and it not be a problem, but for us if we fail 2 seasons in a row to not win the league, the manager gets the boot most likely. They have some quality players, but I think they also get overrated a lot too.

The difference is that Pochetino works with youth. 

He helps push them through. 

Nothing like that with Conte. I said it last year, just like Mourinho managers that can't be bother with youth. 

Pochetino worked with them and is getting his reward.

You know things are bad when Tomo is bashing the manager.
