Have to hope for a Spurs win against Bournemouth or at least a draw.
Am I right in thinking Spurs don't have a CF at the moment? Richarlison can, when interested, score goals but he's a winger by trade.
Defeat for Everton or draw? Wolves are reeling after last week's home drubbing.

Bournemouth will certainly give Spurs more of game than a very poor Man United last week. Hoping for a Spurs win ‘though.
A draw is probably best for us but I think Everton will react to their drubbing at Villa.

Heard Richarlison is very pleasant off the field but my world doesn't he play with an unpleasant scowl on his face.
Naddison scores

Don't know about the former but you're bang on with the latter. Up there with Dele Alli.

Richarlison could/should have just scored.
But didn't.

And just missed a header from a couple of yards.
It wasn't so easy
But Kane would have scored.

Spurs well on top that half but only 1-0 up and almost conceded an equaliser in added time. Richarlison generally playing OK but should be more deadly in front of goal. he had about 3 half-chances in that half.
Maddison and Bissouma both looking very good in midfield in their different ways. See if the Cherries can turn things round in the second half, still in the game.

B'mouth look ok
Open when Spurs/Maddison find space.
But I wouldnt be surprised if they finish above us.

Bournemouth are working hard and get forward in good numbers when they get the ball. Dont look hugely confident under a high press and lack Spurs' quality in midfield. Still 45 mins to improve things though.

Spurs 2
Maybe we will finish higher than Bournmouth
They look a bit toothless ( so might we ? )
And opened up a bit too easily.

Bournemouth come out all guns blazing, Richarlison became a liability there, kept breaking down his own side's promising attacks, lucky he lasted 10 minutes without being hooked. Spuds gone more defensive now with the subs, Perisic for Sarr seems reasonable but Højbjerg on for Richarlison.
Notwithstanding all that, Spuds now got a 2nd.

I really like what Postecoglou’s doing with Spurs - and he seems like a top bloke.
He’s handled the Kane sale / squad building really well

I’ve just switched the United v Forest game on, saw the score and thought it must have been an early kick off
Then saw the clock at 7 mins

They’ve struggled since Ramsey got injured last season and obviously he didn’t go back this term.

When did Collins move to Brentford? What was the fee and did we have a sell on clause?
