Morning All
Sadly no prem footy this weekend so I thought I'd test the waters to see if much has changed in your views re our prospects for the season after the first 6 weeks ?
POSITIVES
1) Kane... enough said
2) Performance of the front 3
3) Defense (Aurier has done well (interesting character, solid fit replacing Walks, seems popular) and both Sanchez & Foyt both have fitted into the system well
4) Dortmund.... a statement win after last years shambles & starting to kill the Wembley jinx vs a good team
NEGATIVES
1) Wembley.... We need to batter someone (ala the last 3 months at the lane)
2) Dele... Looks a mess mentally, change of agent, stupid suspensions for both club & country, Playing OK, but can do so much better
3) Dembele.... Lack of clarity in regards to nature of his injury, does it make Barkley a must in Jan (if so, is he the right signing ?)
4) January.... Is rose gonna be a problem/ is there something crazy for Kane ? (personally I don't think he's got any interest going anywhere for a few years
All in all I don't think there's much to complain about. I'm still not sure how we are 3rd in league without really playing that well (ex Everton & Huddersfield). I suspect that says more about the competition than our own positives. Looking around I see bigger flaws in the competition than I do in our own team (ex City). Liverpool (defense), Chelsea (nothing behind Moratta), United (easiest start imaginable, wait for bus parking when they play someone decent), Arsenal (will be their usual mess come the cold weather & Ozil and Sanchez issues come up again) & Everton (joke).
For me, I fully expect top 4 and for us the qualify from the champs league group. I still feel there's gonna be some funny irony re Wembley after all the talk..... Spurs winning the Cup playing at the "home" that was our jinx !!!
What ya thinking

"I suspect that says more about the competition than our own positives."
You can say that for the last 2 seasons as well.
