Race for the Top 4 - 2017/18

[BringBack_leGin]

Fate is in our hands. We play twice before Liverpool and Chelsea next play. We win both matches and we are two points ahead of Liverpool, eight ahead of Chelsea, CL pretty much guaranteed. If the boys can keep focus for the next seven games you can put a fork in it.

Can’t bear to contemplate the alternative.

The result on Monday will set the tone. If we don't win we will blow top 4.

Monday is a must win, period. We need 3 points. Nothing less.

 

[yankspurs]

Thing to also consider is that West Brom away is not the automatic 3 points that it's looked to be for the most of the season too, unfortunately.

No it will not. It will be an emotional one for them too. Even though relegation is almost certain, it isnt settled yet since Swansea lost today. 3 points will be a must for them again. If we win or even draw, we send them down.

Although it wouldn’t feel good, we could draw and in no way be a disaster. We’d still have the insurance of 1 loss in last 3 games.

The next seven games?

West Brom have to try and beat us no Pulis 11 behindn the ball, time wasting shite....different game to what we’ve played against them recently draw no good to them.
Anyway 3 Pts Monday first is a must.

I think we might even need to drop Dier for teams that park the bus.
Go 4141 or even 4132
We need to flood the opposition box with players and cause as much chaos as possible. Against United and Brighton we created sod all and it was plain to see both teams were happy to play 2 banks of 4 to stop us. We always looked outnumbered and had nowhere to go.
Bet your arse all 4 remaining teams will do exactly the same, to the letter. Probably worse and go 5 at the back and 4 in front at times.

I said at the time it was so bad I hoped they'd go down and never come back.
Oh to be the ones to relegate them....

We'll finish third.

Poch will absolutely have the players focused. In his book it explains how he was ripping about the Newcastle result two years ago and he wouldn't let it happen again. Look how we finished last season.

Leicester and Newcastle look to be on the beach, the team will want to bounce back tomorrow against Watford and West Brom should be our hardest game.

The Scousers and Chelsea will draw when they play. We'll be third.

Seeing tomorrow weather really hope this doesn’t get called off. Months rain due to fall in a day. Guess they’d have to play it on the Tuesday or Wednesday wouldn’t be ideal. We always seem to get the worst of the weather.

 

[TropicalYid]

Been somewhat disillusioned the last weeks.
Toby, Rose, Dembele on their way out.
Dembele I can understand. Hes getting older, PL is taking its turn on his body. Want a last big pay check i China or something,
Rose and Toby, well we are selling good first team players. Feels like going backwards.

We didnt turn up in the semi final.

Only thing left is securing top 4. Then its starts all over again. I think next transfer window will tell if we are going forwards or backwards.
Think we need to bring in a couple of big names. Not just youngsters with potential.

Still, I think well get top 4 this year.

When was the last time a PL game got called off for rain?

 

[BringBack_leGin]

The next seven games?

Meant to be seven days. I was sleepy,

 

[parj]

Except we havent looked anything close to up for it the last few weeks. Everyone talking about liverpool possibly missing top 4 when we're 4 points off them and havent looked up for it since April 1 is interesting.

Hopefully Kane should be fit now so it hopefully we will see the real Kane and the team is back to full throttle

 

[coys200]

When was the last time a PL game got called off for rain?

I think one game was very close this year. Was it the Swansea game didn’t look like would make 90 mins.

Could easily have been abandoned. I was there and at one point it didn't look like we'd get past half time.

Just hope it isn’t horrendous conditions that make it a lottery or a farce.

 

[spursfan77]

Chelsea playing first is annoying, makes it more likely we could bottle it now they've won and put a bit of pressure on.

Don’t we play twice before they play again?

Win both of those which is entirely possible and we will be ok.

once infected with Tony Pulis there is no prospect of recovery, which is why I hope they take Stoke down with them.
