    We are a young, very fit side. Our game is based around high intensity pressing. That's no secret to anybody, surely?

    Pool combated that for an hour by working even harder than we did. But, they tired in the last 30 mins, and although I'll admit it would have been undeserved, we could easily have won it.

    You don't need a pipe and deerstalker to work out most teams basic game plan. We do have options, one of which we've used already. Switching to the two strikers.

    As we seem to be chasing wingers, reportedly, it looks as though MP May VRD looking at another option too..

    Minimal alcohol in summer. Heat and alcohol ain't a great mix.

    As to the Leicester thing, I think you can lay some of the blame for the antagonism at Fosse's feet. He fancies himself as a comedian, and loves handing out the Wum's - some of them quite personal. However, he doesn't react too well when it comes back at him. Others join in from both sides and some take it too personally.

    I mean, HIAG's Leicester thread is one of the most blatant Wum threads you're likely to see. But it still seems to have hooked a few Foxes...

    Yes but while you've gone backwards, those two have got a lot better.

    You could've built something brilliant last season Spurlock but instead you "did a Spurs". You wont get another chance like that again.

  6. We'll get better, that is for certain. Whereas £ity, United and Chavs can only get worse.

    How will you get better. Even Everton look better already. And that's no disrespect to Everton. They have a better squad and better manager.

    I equate Spuds top 3 finish last season to their 2008 COC win. You've peaked again and prepare for another 8 years of mediocrity Spurs fans.

    Klopp is ****e defensively. You'll have others storm you like Liverpool did. Go a couple of goals up and then control the game.

    Also pool could have had it wrapped up in the first half.

    We started last season even slower.

    How will we get better? With more experience, we're still a very young side.

    One if the keys to the Pool game was no Dembeke. He's s massive difference for us in midfield

    Reverse logic NSIS, it's so blatant everybody is playing him the strange thing is he doesn't see it which makes for excellent entertainment at times.

    Dembele is inconsistent due to his laziness at times. He's more than able at containing Liverpool but not many of the better teams.

    Entirely disagree. He's a huge influence and one if the best midfielders in the Prem, or just about anywhere else.

    The reason he was inconsistent in the past was because of AVB. He had him so confused and dispirited, he didnt know what he was supposed to be doing.

    Under MP, he's been a revelation...

    Great minds... <ok>

    And I genuinely think Everton have finally landed the right manager to make them challenge for top 6.

    would have been undeserved, we could easily have won

    Could have easily lost too !
    Mane had a goal disallowed that on another day might have been allowed to stand ?
