Son's been playing up front. He's good there to be fair, but if he's injured as well.. Richarlison definitely isn't up to the task.

I ask because you seem to be creating a lot of chances but not putting enough of them away. A midfielder pretending to be a striker rarely works, they are different roles. Perhaps this will be corrected in January?

Son's finishing is as good as anyone's really. Perhaps his movement isn't the same as he hasn't played striker his whole life, but he is scoring goals. I think it's more the likes of Kulusevski who are playing well, working hard, but missing chances when they need to chip in with more goals. Johnson is playing well, hopefully he will start to add more goals.

Potentially we'll look at buying a striker but I don't know who fits the budget and what level they'll be at. Obviously they won't be anywhere near Kane's level whoever it is. Hopefully we can bring in a decent player with the incentive that if they do well they'll be playing Champs League next season. Now that it looks like top 5 will get in it.

I thought the fans the last few years at Spurs keep saying we don't mind losing if we are playing attractive attacking football, I was wondering how long it would be before 'sack the manager' because we ain't winning :ROFLMAO: , I know or at least hope you are kidding with the above statement Ori

Reminded me of the "Tim Sherwood we want you to stay chants" of when we beat them at Upton park few years back
 
What a funny world we live in. One of the big stories in the month is that Erik Ten Hag has lost support of 50% of the dressing room, and lots of people saying he should be sacked.

Yet by the end of the same month, who wins Premier League manager of the month? Erik Ten Hag

And for good measure, the Player of the Month was Harry Maguire.

I'm going to put a bet on that Marcus Rashford, or Onana, will win December Player of the Month.

I was joking, but losing at home to West Ham is a great way to bring the boo-boys out of the woodwork again, believe me. I'm sure someone somewhere is saying it seriously.
 
Brilliant, VAR being used to rereferee the game again. Anything to ensure Sir Klopp doesn't get angry.

Liverpool rewarded for their player going down like a sack of spuds. Nearly 4 minutes to decide it was a clear and obvious error
