  1. 1. How likely are we to finish top four this season? 0 = nee chance, 5 = can’t call it, 10 = nailed on marra

Think that Spurs will continue to pull out some fantastic results all season long but I think from the end of January so they’ll start losing games they’re expected to win. Think there’s a good chance that they don’t finish top four in all honesty. Their squad isn’t that deep and the injuries are starting to hit them

Maddison and Van Der Veen both out until New Year, Maddison could be for as long as 3 months. 

 

 

Cheers. Didn't think Maddison's injury was gonna be quite that severe. Never nice to see players get injured, unfortunate for them. It does help us mind, which itselt is a positive. Especially with all our own injuries.

Hope they get back well once they do.

Yeah, neither did they, huge blow of course. I really felt they were running massively above expectation, let's see what they're made of without him.

Maddison is a bigger singular injury than any player we've lost. He's been key to everything they do. #1 in the PL in chances created per 90, #2 in total chances created behind only Trippier, and ludicrously far ahead of everyone in shot creating actions. He's second across all of Europe's top 5 leagues behind only Dembele. He's also #1 in goal creating actions and #2 per 90 behind only Doku, who has almost half as many minutes. Player of the Season type of impact through 11 games.

Worth noting that Brighton had Dunk, Milner go off through injury last night. 
 

Would be particularly bad for them if Dunk was out for any length of time (although his injury doesn’t sound too bad).

This mini-Spurs injury and suspension list comes at a good time. Wolves is an awkward as fuck game today, if they get a win from that they are serious contenders like. A draw would be good for us.

3 points behind Spurs should we win this evening, given both clubs respective starts and our extra games (Spurs got knocked out in the 2nd round of the League Cup) that would be really impressive.

Would be great. Villa with bissouma out next then city away for them so got to fancy us being at least level with chelsea/man utd at home

I know we should always look to beat the likes of Bournemouth even with all the missing players but it's one of those now where I'd take a point and run if the game's not going our way, especially with the Spurs result.

I get what you are saying. At the same time there’s teams like ManU that is close to us despite being awful and very lucky. Say that ETH gets sacked and they have a short term new manager bounce at worst then they will be up there fighting fior top 4 too. Would like us to pull away slightly if possible. It’s not the end of the world but winning away games against the likes of Bournemouth is key. At least a few of them here and there not drawing or losing too many.

Yeah I'm not counting any chickens against Bournemouth like. They've been one of the first teams to sit back, let us try and break them down, and play on the counter. In some ways they were one of the better teams we faced last year.

 

I kind of hope that with the injuries we've got, and their need to start getting wins, they will see it as an opportunity and actually come onto us.

Man u always are there or thereabouts, even if they are playing terrible, I always feel when we go on a losing streak the table massively swings against us ?
