Not a lot of difference between finishing 2nd-4th, the last thing we need i one of the chasing pack winning 11 games or so out their last 13. Can't see anyone other than Liverpool winning 11 of their last 13 and even they'll probably only just manage it.

For a regular top 4 side I'd agree but I'd love us to be the 2nd best side in the league personally

That suggests that you have little faith in us finishing the season well. We should be looking at a draw against Wolves and beating Man. City next two matches.

If we mess up a top four spot from this position, we only have ourselves to blame. Yes, this result is annoying, but the ball is very firmly in our court. 1

shailen Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 Tactical masterclass of how to play against Man City. Defend deep, stay compact and have pace up top to counter. Simple, ugly but effective.

We should be looking upwards, not below us, and keeping pressure on Man City. Tottenham do not concern me. Can't agree. This is a terrible result for us. The fewer points we have to get to make top 4 the better. Every game they win is 3 more we have to get. At the moment I wouldn't bet on us getting more than 4 or 5 wins which won't be enough. We might manage 6 but will lose more games than we win for the rest of the season. Edited 2 February 2020 by reynard

If we continue playing like we did yesterday then we will pick up plenty of points so no, I am not worried and want us to get second for pride.
Countryfox Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 I’m sure the spuds keeper ran out and caught the ball then ... what do you reckon Kasper ...
twister Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 anybody tell him why spurs centre back does not getting a second yellow very concerned now above spurs, only 12 points gulp.
Md9 Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 Spurs still have to win 4 and us lose 4 so still a good gap to have

Yes, this result is annoying, but the ball is very firmly in our court. Exactly this. We could obsess about other results but, if we don’t make top four from here, we won’t deserve it. It’s all about us and how we perform from here. 1
Gerard Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 Just now, An Sionnach said: That suggests that you have little faith in us finishing the season well. We should be looking at a draw against Wolves and beating Man. City next two matches. It's not about "faith" but having the easiest conditions possible. My only concern in the league at this point is getting a CL spot. That task is all the easier if the sides below us don't have a storming run until the end of the season to put pressure on us. Tottenham will be 12 pts behind us today, we could easily lose our next two fixtures of Wolves (a) and Man City (h) and then it's game on.
Rasmic123 Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 10 minutes ago, Gerard said: And you want it that much you're prepared to risk a Champions League spot to get it? Spurs are without kane and haven't at any point in the season looked like they can put a string of results together. They will continue to drop points against teams below them and I dont see them as a genuine threat to us
Brainy Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 Hate hate hate hate hate goalkeepers catching the easiest ball and falling to the ground for 10 seconds+
Md9 Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 Spurs play Chelsea after villa as well so could easily drop points there

We're coming for you We're coming for you Leicester City.. We're coming for you...? 1

We still have to play them and anything but a win for them leaves them with no chance

surrifox Posted 2 February 2020 Posted 2 February 2020 Hopefully Kane will be fit again soon and they can revert to being crap again

Spurs are very capable of putting in a big sequence of wins. 2

We should be looking at a draw against Wolves and beating Man. City next two matches. Absolutely no chance we will get any points from those two matches unless we seriously up our level. Also away at Arsenal, Spurs and at home to Man utd are quite possibly going to result in 0 points. That leaves 8 matches to get the probably 6 or 7 wins required to make top 4.
