Julien Laurens believes Tottenham Hotspur’s shock loss to Colchester United in the Carabao Cup is symptomatic of the side’s poor form this season.

Negatives

Son Heung-Min will be disappointed he couldn’t make his mark on the game with a goal, particularly in the second half when he had…

If you had to guess, you could probably get most of the names. Over the past 10 years, who would be on the top 10 for most shots attempted in a single Premier League season?

The list doubles as a pretty good summation of the most impactful players in the league over that span. There’s Luis Suarez, who is on there twice. Wayne Rooney’s on there. So is Cristiano Ronaldo. The two defining Chelsea players of the era, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, both make appearances, as do Gareth Bale and Robin…
