Recently, Rashford seems to want to try that little bit too much. That extra touch, turn or flick. I don't know whether it's with his growing reputation off the field or what but he's in danger of becoming a bit of a show pony. He had a few glimpses there at goal and kept trying for another angle. 

You are spot on mate - he’s more interested than his off field image than his football.

I'm old enough to remember when Jose could send out a team that could defend.

That's because he always had good defenders. The current Spurs defence is arguably the worst in the league. They are only where they are in the league because they have very good attackers.

It gives me the boak when Sky constantly refer to Spurs as a big club. They are not. 2 top league titles in 139 years. To put it into perspective, that’s less than Blackburn, Huddersfield or Sheffield Wednesday.

I think they are a top English club. 26 major trophies. More than most. Also top 4 finishes regularly in the last 10 years or even longer. But the current defence they have are brutal. If they sort that out and keep Kane, Son etc they will be back to top 4.

You are not seriously classing winning the Charity Shield and 2nd Division as major trophies are you mate ??

Sorry just had a quick look there - so was guessing 20 odd before! . Not far off though. 2 league titles, 8 fa cups, 4 league cups, 3 European trophies. Still more than most clubs. But in recent years pretty bad I agree. That said they have been consistently in the top 4.

I think it’s because they’re a London club and they seem to have a lot of friends in the media. I’d have Everton & Villa ahead of them.

Again, 8 point gap after 29 games. 14 point gap after 21 games. It doesn't matter what you see, it happened. They had a collapse and fucked it right up.

 

This season they've been in the top 4 since the first game of the season. 31 games.  Not finishing there now would be a massive failure.

Again, they can't control what others do so the gap is totally irrelevant. And it's totally a matter of choice to see their final 22 games of the season as an underachievement instead of their opening 16 games as an overachievement.

Despite what people say there hasn't been a dip in Leicester's results this season. They have 7 games to go, they could take 17 points from that and still finish 6th if Liverpool and Chelsea go on winning streaks.

Also, today they were without 3 of their best players at short notice, were away to a team in great form that beat them 3-0 at home in October, and lost by a single goal.

I just don't go with this idea that a team that loses occasionally has fkd everything up.

They used to be, but not any more. Probably because they're in London and so can make more from hospitality and sponsorship, Spurs have been able to leave those two behind financially.

It'll be interesting to see if Everton's new stadium enables them to take a step up.

Pogba's second half performance there was one of the most impressive I have seen from an individual player in the Barclays for a while. 

@RandomGuy. used to post quite a bit years ago how Pogba is unplayable on the left of a three.

Guess where he was second half? 

Credit where its due to Random.

Might be a good idea then to try and attack rather than sit back with shit defenders.
