We asked you to tell us one thing - good or bad - that nobody is talking about at Tottenham.

Here are some of your comments:

Andy: Given that Ange Postecoglou places 100% emphasis on front-foot all-out attacking football, why has he recruited such a mediocre bunch of forwards? Johnson, Solanke, Odobert and Werner, along with Richarlison and Kulusevski, are the least inspiring bunch of attackers I have seen for decades! Only Son is top-class.

Frank: Is January the right time to sell Son Heung-min? His speed is fading and Ange's style relies heavily on speed, both with and without the ball.

Anthony: Where do Spurs want to be? The fans want a team that plays with flair and fight. This team is just not hungry enough to do that. Either the manager is able to change that mentality or, once again, it hasn't worked. We cannot keep having failed transfer windows because currently we are going backwards.

Paul: How some fans seem to have forgotten the dross we have been served up since Mauricio Pochettino was relieved. Ange-ball has been inconsistent, but it has been jolly fun at times. Trying to not only change a team, but also an entire club mentality, takes time. I'm all for Ange and I think he is doing a fabulous job.

Paul: The form of Romero worries me. At times he seems to be playing in slow motion and he has been caught out of position numerous times already this season, leading to unnecessary goals being conceded. We were behind at Crystal Palace with no time left and he was strolling around as if we were 3-0 up. I would be looking for a new centre-back in January.

Barry: Nobody is talking about Romero being our weakest link. Nobody is also talking about the fact we don't have a real leader in the team.
