Finally Tottenham have managed to put an end to their bad streak in the Premier League by a great performance.  Smiley  They played very dominantly against Newcastle home and had a great day at finishing as well. Richarlison and Son were in their good days to carry their team. Richarlison scored 2 goals while Son had 1 goal and 2 assists.

I would have liked to see the same performance from Tottenham against West Ham as well. But this is still a good step forward for starting to recover. Next time they are facing Nottingham away which is technically a more comfortable game. The winning streak should be continuing.

Tottenham has played a fantastic game. However, I believe that the players who have returned from injury have done so with good play. If this continues, I don't think Tottenham will be able to defeat Newcastle, as they are a very formidable opponent this season. Richarlison's two goals since his return demonstrate that the players who sustained their injuries are the team's best players, and if they are all healthy, Tottenham will be able to maintain a strong standing in the league.

Chelsea just have a lot to do other than Pochettino asking for new crop of players to be signed. I was really disappointed by their performance yesterday and from how they played, it showed glaringly that they don't have any tactics. How can you bench players like Sterling and Jackson? Although he(Jackson) is still finding his feet, but you can agree that he plays a great role in the attack. Everton are like an injured lion and won't try to take any chances so I didn't expect Pochettino to do so with his team.
 This is the second time in a row that they have lost in their away game and it's sad that instead of Pochettino to admit they messed up, he blamed their performance on lack of good players and I'm beginning to wonder if he knows what he's talking about. Last transfer window, Chelsea spent above a billion pounds on purchasing players and I thought that with that amount spent, they'd be in the top four or close but what are we seeing? Currently they are twelfth. It's as if ever since Todd Boehly took over the club, their lot is to between the tenth and twelfth position.

In my opinion, Chelsea doesn't need to sign any more players in order for them to perform well. The team has been performing poorly, so I don't think adding more players in January will improve things. Many players have already left Chelsea and are now playing well for other teams. The only thing the team needs to do, in my opinion, is train the group and provide the coach with good advice because I don't think Pochettino can manage the team on his own.
