November fixtures are daunting but the calvary are cresting the hill with the sun rising behind them.
Romero back for Chelsea.
Solanke, Bissouma, Udogie & Tokai back for United.
Deki, Davies & Dragusin for the NLD.

It was more a rhetorical question on how does a recently promoted club beat Chelsea & have 14 points in the table after 8 games, but it prompted me to do research too. This is going to be a very interesting PL season! (Here’s their PL history)

Let's just say pre-Maradona.

Without a doubt, Spurs need to play better & that will probably encompass some tactics & squad changes. But as a reality check, here were the final standings after the league phase last year.

I have to admit, Spurs lucked out going to Bodo early in the competition. It could have been much worse. 11°C projected match time.

It seems the Spurs are back to talking with City for Manuel Akanji. He’s right-footed & can play RB, LB, RCB & LCB. His defending stats aren’t eye-popping, but his passing stats are. Looks like good cover for a number of positions. #COYS

Even though he’s not PL proven & similar to Deki, Akliouche is the player to target (if LKI not a possibility). Then sign Savinho or Lookman & Spurs have a great, transformative window. Eze who? #COYS

If all possibilities of Savinho are dead, I’ve read Kubo or Akliouche as possibilities. Perhaps Lange is secretly working on this, but Lee Kang-in wants to leave PSG for more minutes. Playing him at 10 & Eze at LW would work very well, though he can also play on both wings. Great passer! #COYS

Great to see a talent like Alejandro Escavedo in a small art gallery venue in Asbury Park.

Maghnes Akliouche (23) from Monaco, is the player many top clubs want, including PSG. Playing mostly RW & AM, he’s versatile & would probably cost MGW money. Pair his signing with HG Hayden Hackney at 6 (wants to come), shifting Gray to 8 & Spurs’ passing ability will be greatly improved. #COYS

It’s fine to eat Chili in the summer, so it doesn’t matter where you are. I am currently “at the (rocky) beach”. I’ve had Buffalo burgers, prosciutto stuffed chicken breasts, swordfish steaks, bratwurst, fish & chips, raw oysters & this “bucket”. 👇 Variety is the spice!

Right after the first question, “What kind of dog is that?” (Great Pyrenees/Pyrenean Mountain Dog) is the following, “Do they shed?”. Hmmm.
