Seeing Spurs perform the way they did on Monday, maybe I'm doing them a disservice. They traditionally run out of steam at the important end of the season, crack that and they will be in with a shout.

In the last few seasons we have improved after Christmas. It has been the slow starts that have stopped us winning the title.
 

Spurs probably have a starting 11 comparable to Man City and L*******l but I’m not sure they have the strength in depth to make a proper challenge. Could be wrong
Besides City do any have strength in depth? The rs pin their hopes on the front 3 staying fit,Spurs at least managed without Kane for a short while,any team losing a main player will struggle
 

I suppose not, maybe Chelsea?
Think Chelsea are lacking that top class striker,Morata just doesnt impress me at all,in Kante and Hazard they have a midfield that will always give them a shout in games,the new keeper hasnt looked too good so far,the thing with Man City is they couuld basically field a 2nd side that would comfortably finish mid table,you look at ourselves and your own team theres a nice veneer on top but underneath is chipboard

No offence but how ourselves, you lot and Burnley finished top 10 last season proves how you don’t have to be anything special to do alright in this league

Tbh I think you and us have a squad quality above the bottom 11 but below the top 6. I think Burnley will struggle this season. I actually thought lasts season younhd a far stronger squad than us but I’m not fully sold on Puel getting the best out of them. If any other side apart from the top 6 finishes above one of us then I think it’s safe to say that that team has underperformed.

No offence taken,the league is generally poor,and I cant see it changing for a long time any team outside the top 5/6 that develops a player is basically doing it for the top teams to come and cherry pick them,as you have witnessed with Kante amongst others,the gap is far too big to close so the rest battle it out to either finish best of the rest or survive

You’re completely right. It’s hard to get excited about a player as you know if they perform well one of the big 6 will come sniffing. Mahrez and Drinkwater are prime examples. Drinkwater has been nothing more than a bench warmer and I feel Mahrez will be the same at City. It’s like they sign them to weaken teams like ourselves rather than strengthen their own
