OMT **Tottenham v AFC Bournemouth

Get Harry back and we are right in the title race imo. Nothing to fear from anybody else, we are as good as any of them.

Even with Harry it will still be difficult imho.

I agree it will be difficult, but it will be just as difficult for our rivals too. Look at how Arsenal were fortunate to draw with Boro at home yesterday, Liverpool had one shot on target at home v Utd til around 60 mins, City have drawn their last two home games, Chelsea were battered by Arsenal recently, Utd look awful. We have been solid, coped with injuries and have been without out best attacker and main source of goals...and we are 1 point off the top.

Difficult to say. It's the approach that he has been taking ever since Kane was injured. Poch has a decent record of integrating new players and tends to do it slowly, I would give him the benefit of the doubt.

We're a point off the top and the only undefeated team. We are well in the title race let alone a top 4 race. It will be tough because there are a lot of good teams, but we are one of them.

And we haven't got started yet offensively ...
We have carried on and actually improved our defensive characteristics
We need to get going up front again ASAP and the lets see us in full flight and judge
I'd say that apart from the city we have been at best at 80% of what we can be. I doubt we can improve our defensive characteristics, but there is plenty of scope in attack

I think we're better defensively and arguably more solid as a team. We're clearly still learning but seem to have that knack of not losing when the chips are down
We aren't better Up front though IMO, but then we have lost the best all round striker in the league

Martin Peters
he missed some games last season too so I was considering that a comparative wash

Arthur Rowe
Did he miss many games through choice in the league? I don't remember Kane ever being injured but hey I could be wrong. He did miss some Europa games I remember
Baleforce
Martin Peters
i thought he missed a few games injured, I remember making a snarky post (my only ever one) when we battered someone without him

Arthur Rowe
I'm not gonna argue as I genuinely can't remember

I said it would be diffult - not impossible. I hope we will be involved in a title challenge, I more realistically expect to be involved in a race with 6 teams for 4 top four places.
Jurgen the German
Tommy Harmer
My thoughts as well. Top 4 is a realistic aim, the title is a bit beyond us IMO.

I am happy with how things have gone so far, I know there is enough in this team to see us fire soon enough

Yeah, I get all that and criticism is fine but come on, this wanting players sold on and cutting our losses on them, is not wanting the players to improve!
Prior to the three draws and after beating Emirates Marketing Project we never saw some of the nonsensical OTT criticism of individual players.
Turning on the players due to our disappointment that we are not now top of the league on 23 points and that the three points in Leverkusen were not ours, to me, reeks of boo boy mentality.

Look I would never have bought Sissoko and I am not impressed with Janssen - now if that makes me a boo boy, so be it.
We are all entitled to an opinion.
