We are a best-priced 6-1 on to finish top 4, compared with 3-1 for Chelsea. Somewhat reassuring going into this game!
What site is that
Close call between us and Liverpool on that one but I think we're just edging it now and that's reflected in the points.Think we are and have been the second best team this season' Be surprised if we end up where we should be but CL should be our target. An achievable one in my mind. Really need CL going into our wonderful new stadium.

They've improved alot, yes but Salah has papered over alot of cracks.Close call between us and Liverpool on that one but I think we're just edging it now and that's reflected in the points.
I think Liverpool have improved a lot though tbf and they should be taken seriously now.
Hillary Clinton on election day morning has taught me never to tempt fateI'm usually as firm a believer in Spurs' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as the best of 'em, but even I can't see us not finishing inside the top 4 after today's result. Let's finish as high as we can, but I'd totally be prioritising the FA Cup semi-final if I were Poch right now. Today's win gives us the luxury of focussing one-and-a-half eyes on the FA Cup, with just a touch of care taken to make sure we don't implode in the final 7 league fixtures.

They are more reliant on Salah than we are Kane, despite popular narratives in the press. Without Salah they have to basically lump all pressure on Firminio (sp?).Liverpool fans were saying we'd be in a difficult spot without Kane and I think they thought that was the end of our push for 3rd when we lost him to injury. Can imagine they are incredibly frustrated with how we soldiered on.
I'd like to see how they'd cope in similar circumstances without Salah. Can't imagine it'll be quite as well.

No, as great as it would be to win the FA Cup, fincnailly and and generally going into the NuLane with CL football is more important and 7 games is enough for things to change even if it looks unlikely.I'm usually as firm a believer in Spurs' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as the best of 'em, but even I can't see us not finishing inside the top 4 after today's result.

Eriksen actually said as much in his post-match interview on NBC - "All in on FA Cup"I'm usually as firm a believer in Spurs' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as the best of 'em, but even I can't see us not finishing inside the top 4 after today's result.

This is the right answer. No reason why we should not be trying to win every match. Might have to manage Dembele's minutes - but even if we used Sissoko, we have enough quality to beat lower level teams.I'd prefer both.
