Kulu was always somewhat sly around the box. Problem was getting the fucking ball in there. Look at his goal today, there are defenders on his own team higher than him. Suddenly he's good now. If he's defending in his own box, he's bad. It's not rocket science.

Although physically I'll say he looks more like his Parma days. Which is strange but also concerning as well.

There are so many concerns it’s hard to even keep track of them.

Just keep turning over our horrible squad until we find "good" players. The best is Danilo playing the most minutes for Brazil and on this forum he is counted as a nobody. Yes, when he is playing as a 3rd CB all match, maybe that's why he doesn't have assists??

I thought Chelsea bought Cucurella beacuuse they're shelving Chilwell after his ACL injury. Chilwell was very good before injury atleast and he is starting today. Did they spend so much on Cucurella so that ManCity don't get their desired left back?

We play a certain way that doesn't suit Kulusevski, it doesn't make him bad, just that he doesn't belong here. Lukaku belongs in Inter, nowhere else. It is what it is.

Its the way opponents play as well. No team in Serie A allows you to have that kind of space on the ball. Especially if you’re Juventus.

EPL is more open and you get more space but Kulusevski looks way fitter than he did for us, he does a lot of running now and plays pretty much every game. In CL we'll see if he's really improved tactically but for sure, he's much better utilised at Spurs. At least we'll get money for the sale.

No one giving Conte a shot at making this Spurs team push for the title?

if there’s anyone you want to end a title drought, it’s probably him.
I placed Spurs in second. I want them to win and think that Conte is more capable than anyone in pulling that off. But if Haaland adapts as he should then City could be too much.

Though I expect Conte to end their trophy this season.

Because we are a graveyard for young/ creative players.

Was encouraged to defend more than attack
We clearly didn't find a way to get the team to play well as a unit last year. He was unfortunately a victim of that. As was De Ligt and others who we know are talented. It happens not the end of the world hopefully this year Allegri figures it out.

Honestly even without Haaland City have been getting an insane number of points every season incredible consistency. I wouldn't be surprised if Conte breaks Spurs record points for a season but I doubt that'll be sufficient. Unless City falls apart on their own Spurs won't come close.

As for trophy droughts Conte is not really a cup coach.

I think he'll take Spurs to a new level but I don't think he'll win anything

Pathetic how Ten Hag ends up having to rely on Ronaldo to save the day. A player that doesn’t want to be there lol
