I thought so too, I thought Harry Kane’s departure would badly affect them and their performance would decline even further but they have surprised us all, they are having a flying start and the players are enjoying themselves. Bissouma and P.M. Sarr are coordinating things well and blending perfectly with Maddison. The good performance is all thanks to the coach though, he have so much belief in his players and he said in an interview that the secret to the team’s performance is simple he just tell them to go in and do what they know how to do best.
The good form of Tottenham helped them to gain a second position in
Premier League table. Together with Liverpool and Arsenal, they have only 2 points less than Manchester City that have perfect first five matches with 5 wins and 15 points. The impressive performances of Tottenham are unpredictable and unexpected because losing Harry Kane is a very big loss for them.
But as we know, when a gate closes, another gate will be opened and it is exactly what's going on in Tottenham. They don't have too deep player resources like Manchester City and Liverpool and are more like Arsenal, so they will have to try a lot to maintain good performances in rest of season. At least the good start gives a lot of hope for Tottenham players and their fans.
At top of Premier League, we have another big surprise, Brighton. They continued their past good season and are still playing well in this season. They are not far from top four with Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool.
What I really don't understand with the choice of players that was signed to Chelsea in the summer transfer window was if they were Todd Boehly's personal choice or he consulted the opinion of the new manager Mauricio Pochettino before signing them because the connection between the players and manager doesn't show that they were Pochettino choices.
Chelsea is not the only big club that has been diving in second half of table. I can name two other big clubs, Manchester United and Newcastle United. They are not far each other in the ranking table as well as don't big point differences.
