Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[Lighty64]

Trippier was sure as hell on my deadwood list last summer.

why? he had 1 of the best assist for a RB all season

I suspected this slide but to be honest I thought it would happen a few games sooner than it did. Having Chelsea and Arsenal in the space of a week when in our worst form was bad enough but losing v Burnley and Saints were the more telling signs.

There’s hideous fatigue and complacency running through the team and I have to say that us and Chelsea look the ones least prepared for a fight. Poch making excuses for them and calling them heroes after w defeat to a rival enables this attitude though.

I feel sorry for him though. The club is to blame and it all goes back to not strengthening the squad last summer, as we all thought it would.

A top 4 finish now would be a miracle IMO.

Can you imagine if arsenal finish above us as yet again not for the first time we had a big points gap over them only to see us collapse in the usual way

I prefer defenders who can defend.

We can all imagine it. That’s part of the problem with supporting this club!

even Walker had his brain fart moments, and also a few get out of jail. What Walker definitely had was pace, but hardly created/assisted many goals

Having Chelsea and Arsenal in the space of a week when in our worst form was bad enough, but losing v Burnley and Saints were the more telling signs of a larger problem.

It seems obvious that there’s hideous fatigue and complacency running throughout the team and I have to say that us and Chelsea look the ones least prepared for a fight. Poch making excuses for them and calling them heroes after a defeat to a rival enables this attitude, it has to be said.

A miracle lol please

I've always thought he was a bad defender and his offensive abilities were vastly overrated.

fair enough, perhaps someone should let Poch and Southgate know. after 46years of visiting the Spurs in action, I have seen a lot worst. if your after perfection in both defensive and attacking you will have a very long wait in life. yes there will be loads better, but we as a club might only just be entering a period where we can offer wages that might make players pick us one day

it's only happed twice before

 

[HotTotty]

Yedlin looks shit

 

[topper]

Gooners getting the job done unfortunately

 

[Nodutus]

Newcastle have been incredibly poor tonight. Not that I expected anything else...

 

[Primativ]

Players should be ashamed of themselves for letting the goons back in above us. We really have a huge fight on for top 4.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Wednesday is super important- all our rivals gained points over us last weekend. Anything other than three points and we’re really going to struggle to finish fourth

 

[wrd]

Our new stadium couldn't come at a better team, we played really well this weekend, if we take that form into the new stadium we can get our season back on the straight and narrow. Time for a reset and I reckon Kane will fucking drag the team on his back if he has to.

 

[Thewobbler]

Im not worried at all. The fixtures we have left are very kind to us.

Palace H - tough game but winnable.
Huddersfield H - they're crap, easy win
City A - Lose or draw
Brighton H - win
West ham - Their cup final but I would expect us to win
Bournemouth A - They hate playing us and we always comfortably beat them.
Everton H- They will be on holiday mode and we will beat them

How can you not be worried when our form is woeful, playing in a new stadium doesn't magically change form, nor does it account for individual errors, we need to take 1 game at a time & actually learn how to win a game again, then we go from there

Yeah we're gonna lose every game from now on, grow a pair ffs lol

It doesn't but it will give everyone involved in the club from the players to the fans a massive lift.

I honestly believe that most things in life are down to the mental aspect of things, which is why Kane is a god. I think our team shows that more than most and honestly, I'm betting on the notion that a convincing win on Wednesday will completely turn around the current malaise and give the team what it needs to head into a strong finish.

Admittedly that's a double sided coin and a loss would be devastating for morale so we need to get that win.
