Tottenham's performance was very good at the start of this season. Different from what many people thought, Tottenham without Kane would be bad. Well, I personally also thought like you at first. And they even appeared a little doubtful in their first match at the start of the season when they were held to a draw by Brentford. But on Matchday 2, Tottenham proved that they were not weak and had even gotten stronger. The captain, H. Son, seems like he is indeed suitable to be a captain. Because he always makes a big contribution to every match that Tottenham plays. J. Maddison is also one of the mainstays of Tottenham's attack line. What makes Tottenham's attack line still strong even without Kane.
Seeing how Tottenham's performance is very good this season, Mikel Arteta must prepare his troops better next week. Because Arsenal cannot afford to lose in front of their own supporters. I personally can't predict how this match will go. Because both clubs haven't even lost once. But last season Tottenham even lost 2 meetings against Arsenal, both home and away matches. However, this time there was something different about Tottenham's performance. So the match history may not be used as analysis material for this match.
When Tottenham lost their most valuable player Harry Kane to Bayern Munich without getting any proper replacement for his position i felt it was going to be a tough season for them and i even concluded then that they'll be very poor this season depending on Richarlison as their main striker, but they've cleared my doubt this season and have been so impressive this season even suprisenly won Manchester United very comfortably.
I love what their new coach Ange Postecoglou has transformed this team this and boost their confidence to be very strong title contenders, Tottenham didn't really had a good performance last season even with Harry Kane involved in the team but they produced good result this season under a new management and im very impressed with how they've maintained good result so far, Ange Postecoglou seems like the missing piece Daniel levy has been looking and hopefully he might take them to the champions league next summer.
