Our chief football writer Phil McNulty has been taking your questions.

@therealasliatta: What's the real issue? Ange Postecoglou trying to find a way with a depleted squad? Or Daniel Levy not opening up the purse strings and giving him some depth in the first place?

Phil answered: I was at Goodison Park yesterday and, at least judging by the noise coming from the Spurs fans, there is no doubt who they blame. They went through their full anti-Daniel Levy songsheet, and while they gave the team a very rough reception at half-time then just drifted away at the end. I did not detect any chants aimed at Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs adopted a strategy of signing younger players in the summer, such as Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, something which Postecoglou said he bought into. I believe they will be two outstanding signings for years to come.

Dominic Solanke arrived for £65m, so he was a big money, experienced buy, but there was a feeling more was needed and now a serious injury crisis has worsened that situation.
