They will continue to drop points against teams below them and I dont see them as a genuine threat to us Correct 31 minutes ago, UniFox21 said: This isn't a tactical master class in the slightest? Spurs have relied on Man City missing chance after chance after chance. They've been lucky puts our luck at villa into perspective - spurs played like they did v Liverpool .... it was classic Jose - stay in the game and try yo nick something 30 minutes ago, reynard said: 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. seriously ........., 27 minutes ago, Gerard said: Plenty of very naive people on here who think CL is in the bag and we can dismiss Man Utd, Wolves and Tottenham as no hopers and no threat to our top four spot. they aren’t clawing back a dozen points in thirteen games 21 minutes ago, shailen said: You're always going to concede chances against Man City, but closing spaces where it can hurt you (i.e. in the middle) is key. Tottenham are no where near the level of Man City but they did make them look pretty ordinary in my opinion. only when 11 v 10 and then it just made the game look more of an issue even contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose2010 Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 This bad run we are on and still 12 (13 if you class goal difference) a head of the rest. Just relax unwanted pressure on the team is definitely not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna call Mrs Vac a KUMHO and see how I get on... I believe it's pronounced "koomo". Not the way you are interpreting it. Perv! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The whole world smiles Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 All of our rivals for top 4 have European competition starting back up in a couple of weeks which is another thing going for us. As well as being 12 points clear and a far superior goal difference. relax people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 11 minutes ago, foxfanazer said: So we agree then Ultimately what the fans want results wise from our rivals has no impact whatsoever anyway. If we do balls it up we've only ourselves to blame. Today's result should be seen as no more than a slight annoyance imo The only annoyance from me is the naivety of the fans thinking this was a good result for us. No one is panicking but this was a bad result for us if Champions League football is our ultimate goal in the league this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 (edited) Nobody currently 5th or below is going to get more than 65 points and it’s probably only 60/40 that Chelsea get there. Spurs were poor for most of the game today and burgled that win, they might go on a run but the idea of them getting more than 28 points from their last 13 games is fanciful. As long as we produce the same pretty rubbish form we’ve been in for the last 2 months we should still have enough to get to 65. If we throw it away we’ll only have ourselves to blame.

Popular Post RumbleFox Posted 2 February 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 2 February 2020 This “terrible form” stuff is being overstated. To repeat myself from another thread our form is not as bad as some of our fans make out. Our form over the last six games is better than that of Spurs, Wolves, Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea. I’ll state that again, our form over the last six games is better than all of our “rivals”. Yes we haven’t been great but I find the notion that we’re free falling and clinging on by our fingernails very odd. After 25 gameweeks we are comfortably the 3rd best team in the league so far, almost the 2nd. X 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it matter at the moment though? Yes we will have the kudos of finishing second, but it means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. So at this moment in time, with Man City absolutely no threat what so ever to us finishing top 4, why would anyone be hoping they lose to another team that may be a threat to us, if things go pear shaped in the coming weeks. As i said before though, if we do mess things up from here on in, then we simply wont deserve to be top 4 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, when the records are written, they often include ‘runners up’ - nowhere will it say ‘by forty points’ so I’m up for it ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tottenham are no where near the level of Man City but they did make them look pretty ordinary in my opinion. 18 shots vs 3 5 on target compared to 3 Spurs only came into the game after Man City were down to 10 men. They didn't just concede chances to Man City, the entire first half was basically an attacking scenario training session. Man City weren't clinical enough, gave away stupid fouls and lost due to themselves rather than any Jose masterclass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
