Controversial opinion we look more fluid without Kane, Son's movement is actually better.

Maybe - Kane’s been a touch down recently. But Bournemouth didn’t prepare to play against a Spurs without Kane. Other team will be better prepared.

What is ridiculous is people melting down well before the end of the match, especially when there was lots of time to come back and win the game. People should be patient, wait until the game is done and then moan if we've lost and certain players/the manager haven't performed well.

But if you prefer over the top declarations of doom half way through a match, all I can say is knock yourself out.

Well, I can only speak for myself when saying I did no such thing.

But what I will say is, if you care so little and you are happy for people to knock themselves out then why do you feel need to write what you did in the first place?

Surely, the fact we won should be satisfying enough for you?

This thread becomes toxic because certain posters are more focused on having digs at people because of their reaction during the game and handing out an ”I told you so” than actually discussing our play at that moment..
That's just your personal gripe :D

Not controversial at all.

I dare say we resemble a bit more like Liverpool going forwards without Kane with the pace and movement giving the opposition a real headache in who to pick up - difference is, we have a magician in Eriksen pulling the strings deeper.

Far from actually wanting Kane injured (as any sane Spurs fan wouldn't actively want) but it's going to be an intriguing watch how we set up the next few weeks coupled with how the opposition possibly looks to nullify us.

I find myself actually slightly agreeing with this, but that's a huge statement, and we've only seen it for about an hour.

I believe I made my thoughts clear in my previous response.

Clearly you're looking for a fight. You're not going to get it.

Son's only a couple of goals behind Lukaku now in PL. One behind Firminho.

Alli is joint 3rd in the assists table with Pogba, Silva and Mikitarianianianianian. Eriksen is only one behind.

With the way Kane is currently playing I completely agree with you, not sure if it’s because he is always double marked now and we keep trying to play through him or if it’s because his movement hasn't been as good in recent weeks but I do agree with you nonetheless.

Poch on Kane's injury, concerned but won't know anything for a couple of days
I think that is code for he is out for the season, and might not be back for the WC.

Either that, or Poch really doesn't know, and it will take a couple of days to evaluate after a proper scan.

Its one of those two.

If you dont think im still contemplating offing myself, you’re nuts. Dele, Kane and Rose going off injured is just about the least ideal thing to happen. We won but so depressed.

Far from ideal but it's a good job we have a lot of attacking threat. It might convince Poch to give Moura some meaningful game time.

We're good with Kane, we're good without Kane. Kane's phenomenal but he's not the be all and end all of our squad these days. Obviously I'd love the injury to be less the minor!

It's just that we can play differently with Son as a striker. Kane isn't fast enough to play those over the top through balls. Other than that Kanes movement is phenomenal.

I honestly don't believe many here have even been to a football match because they must cry tears of sadness if they do.

We might as well just lock the match threads like I said earlier because it will never change, people will always have a reaction during a game because football is an emotion-based sport and it seems some people want to desperately remove that element because it hurts their feelings.

Thank god these people don't police football grounds, they would be soulless.
It doesn't hurt my feelings, I find it quite funny, the same as I do when someone overreacts at a match.
Look no ones saying don't make emotional posts, but if you do you're running the risk of looking a bit daft later on.
This isn't an amnesty thread mate, everyones responsible for their own output.
I haven't read any of this thread yet but I might visit the early pages later on just for a chuckle.
