The Race for the Title, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or even 6th Thread.

[M.I.B.]

Yeah, hate to say it but it may be the event that gives us a chance to win the league. I can't see Liverpool defending the title without VVD

Not with defending like that

Not with defending like that

No team in this league can seemingly defend, that's the point!

 

[rabbikeane]

We're in the chase for top 4 still

 

[Cochise]

A real Spurs fan would wait for tomorrows inevitable fuck up before throwing money at us.

This aged well. @freeeki this is all on you.

 

[TheTanguy]

Can see us finish in the top four, but that's about it.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Unfortunately our defence will cost us top 4 ....

 

[Dougal]

We think this is a bastard, we still have to go through the pain of finally reaching top and getting knocked off. So many more levels of disappointment before we can win the league. At the moment Huddersfield have spent more time on top recently than we have.

Top 4 should be possible. Top? Only if we can avoid the almost inevitable collapses in games like this. No one is battering us, only ourselves to blame at times.

 

[Tucker]

I still back us to win far more games than we will lose. Today was a fluke, on another day we win that 5-0. Every one of the top six have had weird results against them, we won’t be the last top six team to drop silly points this season.

Everything is still up for grabs.

 

[razzmaster]

Confident on top 4 but my brief optimism of a title challenge has disappeared.

 

[Erm33]

Title challenge is still possible because everyone has looked shit at times this season (bar Everton and villa so far, but they're only a couple of injuries away from disaster)

However those 4 dropped points at home in games we should have won comfortably will no doubt be what has us fall short IMO. Title winning teams win games they don't deserve to, not drop points at home in games they should win.

I can see us going into later stages of the season right up there as I think it'll be a tight season between 5 teams, but really rueing those dropped 4 points.

 

[cjsimba]

Weirdly would rather us have a season where we comfortably get Top 4 than be in a title challenge now.

Because if we do end up in the latter, you just know that these 4 points dropped will be what costs us in the end and that will be so painful to take!

 

[BringBack_leGin]

12 from the next 5, which means winning the next three, and we are challenging for the title. 10 and it’s a fight for top 4. Less and it’s not a good start to the season.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

can't see us finishing top 6 with this disgraceful defensive display

 

[DiVaio]

Unfortunately our defence will cost us top 4 ....

Our defence conceded one goal from open play, non-penalty expected goals against per 90 are third best at the moment after Aston Villa and Brighton.

That’s the spirit

Frustrating as it is, I think we can win the next 3 before Man C. If we some how beat Man C, then we are back In the mix. Seen enough in this side to see we are going to be about the top mix.

 

[Lilbaz]

Ffs bale day ruined.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Still behind Arsenal which shows how our away wins have masked over our home form

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Says a lot when our best defender was Harry Kane. You can see why Jose was desperate for Skriniar because our defence is dreadful.

If we want to achieve anything this season, we have to pray that Tanganga is as good as he’s talked up to be on here and that Rodon really hits the ground running. Failing that, throw whatever money Inter want for Skriniar in January.

 

[NickHSpurs]

Genuinely feel like we went from title challengers to top four hopefuls in 45 minutes.
