Another game to fall asleep.

If it weren't for Bielsa, all the games so far would be soporific.

Looks like he tried to hammer it in the net when all he had to do was gently tap it in.

or pass it back to Calvert-Lewin for the easy tap-in

I saw a lot of people saying Liverpool were very poor defensively against Leeds and Chelsea will have a field day against them next week. But they don't see that it is the high pressing tactics of Bielsa that did all that. Just the way Bayern in the Champions League made defences look amateur, it's the same high pressing tactics of Leeds. Leeds with that style can beat any top team in the league easily.

I hope Lampard can implement that style of play, just like he tried to do at the beginning of last season before abandoning it later. High-pressing with quick passers and off the ball runners is a dominant style of football we should emulate.

What a cross from Digne. Everton look a seriously decent side. Carlo has them very well set up and coached. All 3 of their new signings look like they've been there for years already.

Hopefully our new boys slot straight in and look comfortable like this.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Everton are comfortably the much better team here. Spurs are going to finish mid table this season.

[Pizy 18,516]

Spuds look like the same kind of stale side they did last year. Not horrendous but just...meh.

Mou already looks miserable and pissed off. And their fans probably can't stand seeing a side like Everton coming to their house and bossing it.

Beautiful header that was the top. So deserved for Everton should be up higher.

at least one result is going our way. That is if we consider spuds a rival lol

[Pizy 18,516]

James and Allan look amazing here. Literally toying with Spuds.

[Alabama 1,992]

Spurs sucks

[Special Juan 27,512]

Spurs look horrible.

[Pizy 18,516]

Won't be long before we hear rumblings of Kane wanting out of Spuds for a chance at winning trophies. 

[Vesper 29,169]

[Vesper 29,169]

The Mourinho negativity stamp is in full effect at Spurs.
