Decent start…
We lost away to Chelsea & West Ham last season…
But the starting 11 still needs extra quality.
The distribution of Lloris & the back 3 is dreadful!!
Let’s be honest here and some fans need to stop lying to themselves: decent points haul but our performances this season have been poor. Massively overachieved points wise. And i would even extend that to since Conte came, we have massively overachieved points wise vs performance. Probably had 5-10 great performances since he’s joined and so so many poor tactics and poor performances but managed to grind points out. Very worrying
Decent start. The lack of use of Richarlison, Doherty and Spence baffles me though. And Conte is so late with his subs.
Also need to ditch this passing around the back nonsense. I feel like I’m about to have a heart attack every time we do this
Furthermore, having dier, sanchez and davies as our back 3 actually makes me reconsider and say perhaps these performances are expected with this poor quality of player.
But no sympathy for Conte who has decided that these players are good enough and instead this transfer window seems to have focussed on the wrong players!

I think Lenglet will come in and surprise you.
Romero Dier and Lenglet is actually quite good if all firing.
Missed Bentancur passing. For me the combo of Hjojberg/Bissouma didn’t click. The defence was very cumbersome in transitioning the ball, all very awkward. The WBs didn’t carry the ball enough to create space and stretch the game. All in all though West Ham and their fans treat this game as a cup final every season. On reflection a point isn’t the worst.
Still think if Bentancur is out our MF isn’t as good. And our defence without Romero isn’t as calm with the ball.
Top defender, midfielder and WB still short of properly challenging for honours imo. But we are hard to break down which should see us do well as things stand. And further our front three on their day can hurt anyone.
Has been an excellent start. Performances apart from Saints have been poor but we've got a very good points total.
We're dangerous on the counter and solid in defence. There are some glaring weaknesses such as RWB that are holding us back, but overall feel confident for top 4.

Doing well points-wise but it’s not really much progress since Jose in terms of style.
And that’s with better players than we had under Maureen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We seem to have more steel and maturity though.

Agree, the defence is far to ponderous to be constantly playing out from the back.

Have Spurs really got better players. The defence hasn't been upgraded much. Neither has midfield.
Last season
H Southampton 0 points
A Chelsea 0 points
H Wolves 0 poiints
A West Ham 0 points
So already 8 points better off as far as I’m concerned.
Unbeaten in 5 with Fulham at home next then champions league at our fantastic stadium midweek .
Anyone would think we are Everton the way some of you go on 🤦♂️
Decent start results wise but dodgy performances. We have not turned up in at least one of the halves in each of the games apart from against Southampton.

That's all well and good but you can't argue our performances haven't been lacking. We got away with one against Chelsea and then Wolves, and then again today.

It's not pretty, but it's effective. And I am sure Conte knows the areas that need strengthening.

'Getting away with it" only last so long until they turn into draws and losses.
Thing is, calling this out now you get called a “moaner” or “negative”. Then you wait x time period until the results turn bad and that’s when everyone wants to literally repeat what you’ve been saying and start crying
Just put Kulu and Kane in my FF team so you're facked now, they'll never contribute again
We’re the results last season in the points comparisons posted with Conte as manager or the previous manager?
Conte is just a typical Italian manager he will make you hard to beat but in terms of decent football you'd need to look elsewhere.

They've been doing this for at least 5 years.
We are two good a team to carry on scoring a goal a game V Wolves, Forest and West Ham .
Son is way to good a proven player to carry on the way he is . I expect us to improve quickly and best Fulham and Marseille comfortably at home over next 7 days
If I'd been offered 11 points from our opening 5 games (2 home, 3 away) I'd have been very happy with that but the football is making my eyes bleed.
Richarlison has to start on Saturday.
