It's weird how after Pogba's great start to the season, as soon as Varane got injured, United began to have defensive and offensive problems which affected Pogba as well. It'll be interesting to see how he does with Rangnick.

Tottenham have a tougher schedule than Arsenal for the rest of the season.

I don’t think this is a hot take. Tottenham SHOULD be getting 4th. With Conte, It’s a failure if they don’t.

You say that looking at the club NOW. Saying that at the beginning of the season or when Conte came on board would be a hot take, but they have just gobbled up points since he arrived.
Nobody said that at the start of the year, it's not a failure to finish 5th given where the club was day 1.
There's a bit of protection here with Tottenham, which is fine, but it's hardly a case of "wow, what a turnaround they look amazing" to me. Credit to them for picking up points, but they get an opposing player sent off three games in a row (with one notably not sent off), draw Southampton, and needed a 96th minute goal to beat Watford.

Anyone who saw the Arsenal - City game should hold Arsenal as clear favourites for top 4. They looked like the team that was leading the league by margin while City looked like the past seasons Arsenal. I haven't seen any other team playing that great vs City this season. Pity loss really but surely if they continue playing like that not only will they destroy Spurs in the NLD they will also be a lot closer to Chelsea and Liverpool than to the teams behind.

Spurs took 3 points off City playing at their poorest, how many did Arsenal pickup playing at their best?
Enjoy the 2 losses to Liverpool this week.
"Unlike Arsenal fans Spurs fans know their place and are humble!"
Proceeds to be arrogant because their team had limped in some favourable results.
Spurs still have to face Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City. Arsenal only have to face your shit lot and West Ham.

You can win single games by playing poor but in order to have longterm results you have to play good football. If Arsenal play like they did against City they will get results for sure. Spurs are not even close to that kind of football.
It’s only one game this week and i can say the same to you against Chelsea.

LOL i love seeing references to that Spurs v City win cause at the time some Spurs fans said that was the biggest win of the Premier League season.....on *checks calendar* Match week 1! Beating City is close enough to a trophy..... I guess.

Never said Spurs were better. I said they got 3 points against City and Arsenal got 0. That's all that matters.
Spurs may get their ass kicked twice by Chelsea this week, sure.
Spurs are not a part of the 3 major clubs in England and know that. Arsenal fans still think they are on the same level as City/Liverpool/Chelsea and they aren't.

Liverpool vs Chelsea
- LOL, Pulisic is so bad. Weren't there some people on here saying he was going to be world class? I swear there were...
- Kovacic goal was insane and utterly irreplicable if he tried to do that 99 other times out of 100.
- Second half was a dread feast. So damn boring and neither team wanted to push the other for mistakes.
Wolves vs United
- I told you lot, Rangnick is being over calculated in his approach. He reminds me a lot of Arteta's tactics, insanely rigid out there and players keeping to their position. Bruno has fallen off of a cliff though, absolutely killing my fantasy team.

- Cornet is a brilliant player.

I would contribute a lot of that to playing at home (where Arsenal is very good at), if we played in Citeh, it would probably be a 0-4 loss.

I don't think you watched enough of Spurs under Nuno then. The team has improved massively under Conte. Just that finishing has been pretty poor, and the XG charts back that up.
