Their best 2 players cost £4m between them. Squad and personnel wise, there is no material difference between them an us.

Yes buy they have bought several 20-30 million pound players who have all failed..

Lloris versus Howard, I give you that. But no way is Alderweireld and Vertonghen a cut above Jags and Stones.
Under Martinez, we'd conceed shed loads of goals no matter what personnell would be there!

A decent goalkeeper and we would up there with Spurs.

With the money they got from selling Bale.

We're missing a player like eriksen. Also like others have pointed out their cb pairing is in their prime and have a great understanding, stones is still young and Jags isn't in his prime anymore. Not to mention lloris is probably the best keeper in the league atm after de gea

Now I'll probably get negged for this, and I've said it before, but Everton & fans need to stop living in the past. It's fine putting up murals, galleries and celebrating amazing achviements but using them as excuses or reasoning as to why we should have this or won that just isn't on. Football fundamentally is still the same on the pitch, you still need to score goals and not conceed them to win matches, win points, win leagues and cups. We haven't done that for quite some time now and it's not going to change any time soon while the current board and manager is in place.

I'm afraid it's all we've got mate so just enjoy the highlights..........

Eriksen and Lloris cost a bit more than £4m combined mate.

Dont like them. They're an unusual Spurs team. Only Eriksen and Alli are recognisable Spurs types to me. But they look more perspiration than inspiration for much of the time.

I think thats the point though, they've gone beyond having the usual Spurs type players. Like us they are very dependant on Kane.

I think they look a very well balanced team though. No weak areas and in a week league consistency over brilliance plays an important role.

They're formidable. Apart from the odd flash of brilliance from Alli or Eriksen though they leave me a bit cold. Maybe it's because I dont associate efficiency with Spurs.

Spurs might win the APL.

Spurs miles away from us now, shame.

A Manager who concentrates on defence as well as attack helps Spurs

Well yes there's not a lot of flamboyance there. It will be interesting to see if they can continue to add that to their game. Eeriness and Alli are both young players and can only get better.

I regret to say it, but I feel they are built on far better foundations than us mate. Lorries, Vertongen and Alderweireld have been a cut above the 3 we've put in their this season. It gives them a platform to work on ahead of that.

Efficient is a good word for it. But they all look like they are pulling in the same direction to me. It's frustrating as I don't see them as materially better than us.

Especially the GK. That's the biggest difference.

Roberto has to be more ruthless in getting people out of the team when they simply are not up to it. He'll eventually pay the price if it isn't done.

Despite all the BS being spoken now by excitable people, he has the time to correct this. It's quite a simple task too.
