Martin Keown COMPARES Ange Postecoglou's transformation of Spurs to when Wenger came in to Arsenal 🤯

[@JBG-up6hy]

[@thelinedrive]

If Tottenham were to beat Liverpool and they aren’t considered at least outside shot title contenders it is because nobody other than Manchester City are title contenders. The fixture list after Liverpool is particularly favorable for Tottenham to stay at the top of the table until facing City in December. From there it’s a January transfer window for one final push that will also be investment into next season’s campaign that will likely have European football as well.

[@izzyraj]

In my honest opinion, based on how we are defining contender as a team with a chance to win the title, no one outside of Man City are contenders. Man City is winning the league. Everyone else is fighting for second place so I guess 2nd place contenders is more fitting.

[@heyheyhe0011]

Even as a Tottenham fan myself, I was nervous to live life after Harry Kane. Thank goodness for Sonny and our new signing James Maddison has stepped up and scoring the goal Harry scored. But most importantly, Ange Postecoglou deserves most credit for the surprising great start.

[@vomgrady]

Totally agree. It makes me nervous that us as fans have decided the project is over and when we have one loss we will go back to our negativity. Wether we win or lose I love the football we have been playing. I'm happy but obviously nervous though. COYS!!!!!

Goals aren't an issue. I think Son will get around 25 this season. He's already 25% there. He's the man Simon says we don't hsve. I don't fear any other teams with our starting 11, to be honest. They might lose at some stage in a bad way, but there's so much insane talent in there amd kost ofnthem are 20-25 years old. It's the depth that worries me. We need to get to January without one of maybe 6 players getting injured. I cant see a title challenge, but I'm a dreamer all the same.

I'm a Liverpool fan and I'm highly concerned about this game. They've leaked so many chances recently but the teams they've played haven't had the quality to put them away. Son and Maddison are 5 star quality. If they play like they played against Wolves and West Ham they could easily let in 4 goals.

G'day, a little late with my contribution and found the hypothising interesting. Of course we all tend to have our own thoughts, opinions and ideas. Mine are quite simple to say, but not so simple to achieve and that is: As a long time follower of Ange in Australia and at Celtic (I missed his time in Japan), Ange NEVER talks about losing or drawing a game. Some say it's an achievement for a visiting team to draw at an away game, for example. Not Ange. He has only one objective. You guessed it - it's to WIN! His teams Never Stop! Just do some research about Ange at the Socceroos, South Melbourne, Brisbane Roar, Celtic, and Yokohame F Mariners. Except for the Socceroos, he was a SERIAL WINNER!!! Please don't tell me "Oh, but our Premier League is way tougher than anything Ange has played/coached in." So?
