I'd be surprised of they don't win the league comfortably.
They recruited really well close season.

We're showing signs of 'Jelling'.
And both Leeds & Boro will get up there.
Boxing Day's going to be a Big 'Un. We don't lose there and reckon we'll have marked their card. 8-)

What a ridiculous couple of penalties to give away.

Carragher claims Spurs’ pitch is “huge”. Hmmm, same size as Turf Moor. In fact most pitches are pretty similar these days.

Spurs are an absolute disaster and that moody Aussie in charge is going to have to be a little less intransigent.

I can’t see the Spurs fans and the owner putting up with Ange Postecoglou’s stewardship for too much longer.

Spurs want a team that plays in this style. Postecoglu is the most Spursy manager that they could have ever wished for.

Always like watching a Spurs v Chelsea game.

Graeme Le Saux is on co commentary on the channel I’m watching on. He’s pleasing on the ear.

Carragher is usually unbearably obnoxious, today he’s been far worse.

The Aussie bloke is very similar to Kompany.

Can’t or won’t change his system for the betterment of the team.

He will no doubt be sacked soon

It cannot be ascertained if he did change his methods/system whether it'd improve the performances/results. I agree levy will probably let him go but it's hardly a new thing with levy & underwhelming managers being let go.

So Ipswich, with the brightest young coach and having spent 110 million aren't mid table and blowing teams away. Remarkably, there will still be some shocked at that.
The gap is becoming insurmountable

I missed this as I was playing football myself but sounds a great game.

I'm going to watch the battle of Stamford bridge instead (not that one) whilst I have my tea. One of my favourite games and well worth 6 minutes of your time.

City letting Cole Palmer go for 40 million looks worse and worse every week.

Surely that's only the case if all three promoted clubs keep getting relegated for the next few seasons.

I suspect if that were to happen then there would have to be a re-think as it wouln't look good for the PL.

I like Ange

In a world where managers get zero time I feel if they gave him time he would get them super competitive

Managers in and out won’t work

It’s actually laughable how crap muric is and some on here were comparing him to Ederson haha.

Best business we have done under pace was getting 10m for him.

No decent goalkeeper goes out to the corner of his box like that today.
Muric has some great qualities, decision making isn't one of them.

It’s increasingly obvious why Kompany looked to replace.

Trafford at the time probably wasn’t the answer but it’s obvious why there was no confidence there.

It was a season too soon for Trafford, but I'm sure he will be playing in the PL next season.

I didn't catch all of the match but from what I saw the players need to have accountability. Ridiculous penalty to give away and Son either needed to score or pass it.

I always wonder with Muric. He suddenly let's one in, after a series of heroics. An odd occurrence by the Kosovan keeper...

Muric is way out of his depth in the Premier League.
