That display by Tielemans was pretty good for a first game. Might be worth considering for next season. Monacoonky paid around 20m for him.
Finishing third with 88 points would be quite staggering. I know the league’s concertina’d out so top teams are getting more points and the bottom ones less, but that would be incredible.Technically, it's not in our hands.
We could win all our games and still finish below Liverpool.
IMO, we don't necessarily have to win at Man City or Liverpool. Most important thing would be not lose either.
The race would be so tight, there is bound to be a lot of twists and turns.
Chelsea will undoubtedly be motivated for our game, they always are at the Bridge.
Spurs at the Bridge is the one they always manage to find some form of motivation no matter their form or manager issues. All I'm saying is don't expect them to roll over as easy as today, regardless of fixtures prior to it.They can be motivated all they like but they have 4 games in 14 days before they play us. And the city final is 3 days before playing us. Today they could barely run at 75 minutes and that was after they’d had a weeks rest.

Where does a creative midfielder fit in this team though?I think with Sissoko and Winks being able to to do this very well (transition) I think we purely need a DM and a creative midfielder now.

They didn't in the league fixture last season.Spurs at the Bridge is the one they always manage to find some form of motivation no matter their form or manager issues. All I'm saying is don't expect them to roll over as easy as today, regardless of fixtures prior to it.
If Eriksen leaves then we may need someone who can do this, possibly a little deeper. I guess it's futile suggesting it cause we have no idea how Poch will wish to replace him. I just think a player like Kovacic would be redundant in this team as Winks and Sissoko are more than adequate of filling that role.Where does a creative midfielder fit in this team though?
They did in the cup fixture this season when 1-0 down.They didn't in the league fixture last season.
We wouldn't definitely need to win all three of those away games.
Why are you assuming that our rivals arnt going to drop any points?
It's a tall order yes, but we don't have to win all three of those tough away games.
Where have I said that? My predictor included dropped points from City and Liverpool.
But we don't, necessarily, have to win all three of those away games - you're saying we do to stand any chance.
I do believe we have to. I do agree that I can see City and Liverpool dropping at 3 easy points at some point though. But I think that is all they'll drop. And I think we are more likely to drop easy points than they are.
We’re not in the race for the title yet in my opinion. If we can somehow manage to beat Burnley away and Liverpool lose to Utd then we are definitely in it. We’ll then have Kane and Dele back and give it a proper go. Having to go Chelsea, Liverpool and City away will be the decisive moments - we’d have to win two of them to have a chance likely. Considering our injuries, Wembley and fear of spending its phenomenal we’re even mentioned though.
