Champions League Contention

[Ads]

Is that 1 win in 5 now? Must be our poorest run since Emery arrived.

1 win in 4 from Sheffield United, Burnley and Newcastle- 3 sides utterly abysmal away from home and also another when 2 up at Man United, who were as atrocious in that 1st half as we were all game tonight, with a pretty toothless attack wise performance at an another dire side like Everton thrown in for the awful 5 game run.

The wheels have come off and I have absolutely no confidence we will beat Sheffield United. We need to win all our games in February and we just won't. We look abysmal. No chance of 70+ points. 60 looks a struggle.

Torres might be weeks away yet though. Is the season really going to go completely to pot because of one central defender being out?

He's a big reason why we struggle to beat the press. His passing is sensational and makes most presses look daft. We're so tediously predictable without him.

Yep he’s vital and it’s been a fucking disaster of an injury - but other players have dropped off significantly at the same time.

Yes it’s coincided with Diaby starting every game and wondering around aimlessly.
We have badly missed Bailey as well.

If we don't make CL qualification this season, then the summer could be interesting from both FFP and certain players. Without that added money, then balancing the books may require a squad re-think. On top of that I reckon a Number if players may decide to leave anyway for CL football...Martinez, Douglas and Watkins for example.
I wonder how much Unai and Heck have gambled on getting to the CL.

At least the North Stand rebuild can recommence when we miss out on the CL.

Ah yeah, happy days then.

I did say that partly basing a decision to build a stand or not on a competition you haven't even qualified for might be just a teensy bit previous.

It would be disappointing to miss out on the top four because it's so rare that we get ourselves into it. The infuriating glass ceiling.

Villa are 5th Spurs are now 4th place purely on GS as level on GD
4th Spurs GS 47 GA 33
5th Villa GS 44 GA 30

I think it should be on head-to-head results first and really we should be 4th.
When teams are on the same points:
Goal difference
Goals scored
Head-to-head points
Head-to-head away goals scored

The early match is Everton V Spurs this week before Sheffield Villa
Everton have kept the most clean sheets and are the sort of at home that could prove problematic to Spurs.

Sunday: Arsenal v Liverpool
Monday: Brentford v Man City

The good thing is we have to play Spurs in March at home and Liverpool final home game.
The tricky thing is we have to play Man City midweek in April then 10 or 11 days later and Arsenal away.

Spurs have to go away to West Ham, Chelsea,  and away to Liverpool Klopp final home match
Spurs have in April play Newcastle away then  Man City and Arsenal at home back to back.

(Pending any rearranged fixtures)

Champions league contention is All to play for.

[Footy-Vill]

Get the fuq in - Champions League here we come !!!!

With Spurs on 4th on 44pts a win Vs Sheffield United would put us back into 4th place and level on points with Man City and Arsenal before they play tomorrow and Monday.

Next Week we play after all rivals play

Saturday Early kick off Man City v Everton
Saturday 3pm
Spurs v Brighton
Liverpool v Burnley

Sunday :
