Summary

Can it get any worse for Spurs? Losses to Everton and at home to Leicester have piled the pressure on Ange Postecoglou, but the fans are turning on chairman Daniel Levy. How long before something breaks? Tom Allnutt makes an impassioned defence of Ange…Alyson Rudd isn’t buying it!

Bournemouth in contrast play a similar pressing game, have lots of injures but are on fire. What is the difference, how is Andoni Iraola doing it?

Man City against Chelsea was a show case in how not to defend – Gregor Robertson felt for debutant Khunsanov.

Yellow card, Red card…orange Card. What did Lewis Skelly deserve? Is the reaction of the Arsenal players and coaching staff make things worse?
