It’s concerning because of the precedent of Liverpool in 2002-03 (unbeaten in first 12 league games, with 9 wins and 3 2-2 draws, but than placed 5th) but it is true our comeback at the bridge is the mark of a serious contender. Quantifying spurs’ seriousness as one is hard as they have faced us, Man U and Liverpool, but also “easy” teams like the NPTs (one of whom they trailed until stoppage time), Fulham and Bournemouth

We’ve started way too slow in most matches this season, only really reacting after going a goal down. Something is definitely up with the squad this season.
