Absolutely, not like all those other unimportant games!Villa is now a massive massive game
I get what you mean, but every game is a "must win" game with the possible exception of City, Liverpool etc.

I read sess could be back for Villa?Feel bad for Big Ange. As this is a unique situation. No one can plan around losing key players for such extended periods of time.
To the best of my understanding: Romero is out for two more games. Maddison, VdV, Solomon out to January. Sess out to Feb/March. Perisic out all season. Then you have AFCON and the Asia Cup to also work through.
I am not expecting miracles with such a thin squad in terms of quality. The best I can hope for is we can bag two or three wins by the January transfer window. Then hopefully bring in some much-needed depth, and some of the walking wounded will return. Then, we make a run at the top 6. I think it's realistically the very best we can hope for given the current situation.
And because we are Spurs - wouldn't be shocked if we lose one or two more over the international break.
The effing Chelsea game. Wow.
Nope. Both scenarios can happen exclusively of each other. Would love both to happen, not preferring one to another. But missing out on both, I'm more gutted with Hojbjerg-Tosin swap didn't happen.You’d have preferred we sold hojbjerg and got tosin than if we’d have just signed tapsoba?
It's a learning curve but the key thing for me is the players had the belief that they could go on and win. In the past how often would we have seen us drop deep early and the result be exactly the same?I get that ange wants us to be progressive, and play in a certain style.
However, we do need to calm it down at times. The 2nd goal v wolves, we shouldve stopped the quick free kick. Imo

He shouldn't be far off it by the time we next play.I think we would be fine with Bentancur in for Bissouma but obviously he's not fully fit to do it yet. Other than that I agree, the drop off for Udogie, VdV, Romero and Maddison is huge. 3 of those are new signings though so at least we've improved the first team this time. We just need more of the same to give proper depth and competition for places.
Especially if he gets game time for Uruguay which one would assume he will.He shouldn't be far off it by the time we next play.

Is it? Every single game is meaningful, especially when things are tight.Surely you get the game against villa who is 1 place below is more important than most other games?
If we start with a midfield of Bentancur, Sarr, Lo Celso I would feel a lot more confident that we will at least be fun to watch.He shouldn't be far off it by the time we next play.

The next few games below - which of these is less important?

We hope, be just our luck he gets an injury playing for them as they maybe won’t be so careful with himHe shouldn't be far off it by the time we next play.
Yep if our Davies & Dier high line is going to get exposed we may as well play those 3 CM’s play some nice footy and try to win.If we start with a midfield of Bentancur, Sarr, Lo Celso I would feel a lot more confident that we will at least be fun to watch.
Agree, but then Ange could take further and give Phillips & Dorrington a start if we in the development phase. I'd prefer that than keep rolling out same suspects that the club would happily get off the books if the offers are there. Get the homegrown on the pitch and gaining valuable experience.... Surely that's more beneficial...COYSHe IMO is doing an educational job with the squad and it would a mistake to change tactics when his ideas aren't yet fully bedded in.
No chance. Even then, I think he's nowhere near capable of playing in this team. I'd rather Reguilon, and that's saying something.I read sess could be back for Villa?
