Spurs

[Yarrgh]

Son has scored 7 goals from 12 shots. That hot streak will end. Also I think teams are going to come to grips with Kane coming short and playing in behind to the wingers. At the same time I doubt a Mourinho team defends this poorly all season.

If that front three keeps firing or in Bale's case starts firing they'll be a real problem. They should be disappointed to not get CL. But I personally don't trust Jose if it goes sideways a bit.

As much as I think Son is a bit of sh**house, he is a very good striker of the ball and seems recently to be coming across good opportunities to shoot, so I don't see that hot streak becoming anything less than general good form soon - he'll be a goal scoring threat for a long time to come. But Kane is operating in a different way that I don't think benefits his goal scoring ability - maybe if Bale as you say, starts firing he'll start opening it up more for Kane again - and that might be a real problem.

Other than that, a bit of a weak underbelly will undermine them getting to the very top, but I can see they are stuttering back into decent shape - a 3-3 will not derail them. Top 4 challengers surely but they could go south quite easily if they get any absences up front. Having said that, there's a whole lot of teams with a decent first eleven and not much behind that such as us or the rs or Leicester - we're all gambling on fitness issues really.

No necessarily. He's a brilliant finisher and Kane is creating clear chances for him, not half chances really.

As the greedy slippery full of puss self serving slob took you from struggling around the relegation area all the way up to a lofty 8th place, that ain't a bad shout.

Meltdown over a draw. Hope you's get walloped this weekend

Wait a second I thought he was talking about Harry Redknapp...

Careful, he'll have you on ignore for that sly dig

Message loud and clear .
To solve the problem I will start putting a few more of the W.U.M. who contribute nothing but digs on ignore.

Didn’t think it was possible to put yourself on ignore.

Now there's a list that probably contains more good than bad.

 

[Blue Shoes]

Signing hojbjerg to provide that protection for the defense hasn't worked out well

Go find someone who has shot 50% for a season in football. I get that he is a good finisher but he isn't Shaquille O'Neal dunking. At some point he's going to miss.

I'm not saying Son isn't good or that he will stop scoring completely. I'm just saying scoring on over 50% of his shots is unsustainable. Dom for example has the same number of goals but on 35% of his shots which is still pushing what a forward player can maintain for an entire year. Son's rate is going to come down no doubt but he is good enough that he can just shoot more instead.

It's going to be us v Tottenham for the title.

I actually have been thinking this to, rather Everton vs Spurs+90% of the Britsh media

When you meet your maker pressing ignore is no longer an option.

Stay safe h.h

I'm going to feel gross after saying this but to this point the RS are still favorites and the best side. Now maybe "Big Virg" being out hurts them to the point of complete defensive ineptitude but that attack is good and they're going to score enough to be in and around 85 or more points.

Now City on the other hand are looking not great.

Dele ali doing well isnt he
