Considering we've been lucky to be in the + at this stage of the season in the past! Massive turn around for us. Mostly thanks to Toby and Dier for me, Toby has to be our best signing for years, the impacxt he's had has been immense!

"Mostly thanks to Poch," I think you mean... (But yes, dead on about Alderweireld in particular.)

quite remarkable that we have best goal difference. Only Shitty have scored more goals. Only lost 3 games - that arguably we should not have lost and we have the youngest team/squad in the prem that has plenty of room to develop.

If you cannot be happy about that then you need help.

@Good Doctor M : what was the point of the WTF? Do you know the history of what Rose faced in Eastern Europe when representing England U21? That's the reason I asked.

sorry, this phone is rubbish!
Prime example being when Kane had his dip earlier in the season and poch kept playing him, no doubting he rediscovered his mojo...

i do believe we now have the best goal difference in the league. Awesome

Indeed. In years gone by when we've been clinging on for dear life in around the top 4 our goal difference was often considerably inferior to our rivals. For all the positive signs on the pitch, say under Arry or AVB's first season, I always felt the goal difference betrayed the fact that in reality we were closer to the 5th or 6th best teams in the league than to the 1st or 2nd. So to have the best goal difference this season tells a different story, and probably suggests that we're not being too presumptuous to think about us as serious title contenders.

Only Leicester have lost less games than us. Only Everton have drawn more games than us. Sort out the latter and we're serious contenders.

Great result tonight. Got the job done in the first half, then put in a professional, strength-saving performance in the second.

What part of getting our only forward off the park when the game is done is nonsense??

It's not a black and white issue. I agree that there are benefits to resting our only striker when we're ahead (although not comfortably ahead), but that goal from open play will boost his confidence considerably.

Our goal difference is making me queasy. I make that 6 games this season we've won by a 3-or-more goal margin.

Harry Kane is a hero. Just doesn't give up! Only needs 6 more goals this season to tie his PL tally of last season, with 14 games remaining. Is anyone still claiming he's a one season wonder?
