Spurs dropped more points v West Ham but are they just ‘two superstar signings’ away from joining the top three? Plus, views on Man City and Arsenal.With his first season almost concluded, it is fair to say that the season, top four or not, has been far better than most had expected.
I’d love to see the elusive midfielder we’ve lacked since Dembele and Modric left – granted I’m talking about two exceptional players, and in Modric’s case, possibly one of the greatest ever, come in – maybe Kimmich although that seems fanciful, and a player of Kvaratskhalia’s calibre too. West Ham were there for the taking, for any decent club. Moyes made zero substitutions. Spurs made 5. Take away Moyes’ ability to bring a DM on and he is completely lost. WH missed Alvarez and looked tired throughout. However, Vicario looked completely lost at every corner, and Spurs barely mustered a half chance all game.
Fast forward 5 months, and City became the second English side in history to complete the ‘proper’ treble. It was also their third Premier League title in a row. Guardiola was lauded for the tactical innovations he made, particularly in his adaptation of the roles of Stones and Rodri. Oh, and Haaland scored more goals than any player ever has in a 38 game PL season.
This City are nowhere near the worst they have been under Pep. The team in his first season contained an over-the-hill Clichy, Zabaleta, Toure and Sagna, an inconsistent Kolarov, Mangala or Otamendi as the options for partnering Kompany , three GKs who were not fit for purpose for the way Guardiola wanted to play, and an underwhelming selection of options such as Nasri, Nolito and Navas for the third of the three behind Aguero.
Throw in that all the Arsenal players have said that sitting this far back defensively wasn’t the plan and they wanted to do more but City didn’t let us means that coming away with 1 point is absolutely a massive win for Arsenal and Arteta.
