Paul Merson also discusses Chelsea's bright start under Mauricio Pochettino, Arsenal's reversion to 'old habits', and how Liverpool are capable of outscoring any team in the Premier League - including Manchester City
Tottenham have started well. I do like the manager, and they're playing entertaining football. The so-called 'Tottenham way', although I'm not quite sure what that is because they never win anything, but it's more enjoyable to watch.
I said originally they wouldn't finish in the top half - but I know someone who travels home and away to watch Spurs and he said they'll be a better team without Harry Kane. Three games in he's not wrong.
That might not be Kane, it might be the manager - I like him, he's very good. I don't see them finishing inside the top four, because it'll be ups and downs with the way they play, but it's going to be a better watch.
Kane is obviously that good there is no direct replacement, but they do need someone in. Maybe they wait until January and go for Ivan Toney. If they're not in the top-four race in January I doubt they'll spend big until the summer, when they've assessed the first season under Ange Postecoglou.
