Race for the Top 4 - 2018/19

[13VanDerBale13]

Sissoko much more important than lucas but otherwise agree

Another blow to lose, honestly we HAVE to make a signing this window, hopefully we get positive itk in the coming days but I’m not holding my breath

 

[thePessimist]

No son, no Lucas, no kane, squeaky bum time

Lucas must surely be back next game though?

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Nbc studio excusing our lack of success to lack of investment in summer, nobody in studio with anti-levy agenda btw...

It was almost a joke with the too, smirking like how can you expect to win things if you don’t invest...

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

There will be no senior player/nothing of importance arriving in January. We won't win the league, and we are in pole position to grab a CL spot, so there is no need to rashly sign players.

Cheers for input Dan, but idiotic to think CL is in the bag considering how stretched we our now

There is just no need to be rash in January and screw up, when you can spend all summer and screw up then instead.
No, but honestly, there is no incentive left to sign in January. We are doing fairly OK, and can't expect to do much better. Of course it can always get worse, but on average, there just isn't a blatant need to sign.

 

[luptic]

Pity about tripper's fuck up, fantastic response all down De Gea's throat on the downside. But if we fail to sign a player now in our hour of need then shame on Levy and co. We cant have only one fit midfielder atm to choose from.

 

[Lighty64]

Frustrating today, but we're still very much in the driving seat for a Top 4 (and probably Top 3) finish

We've got 5 winnable league games now, so let's make hay and put some more daylight between us and our rivals

without Kane we have shown before we can cope, without Kane and Son it's going to be a tough 3 weeks

 

[The Scarecrow]

True, that would be a major blow; but let's see what the news is first about his injure

Presumably he walked off the pitch?

Not sure. I immediately turned off the tv.

 

[bubble07]

This was the one to guarantee CL for us. Always said if gap gets to 10 from 5th then it's done

Hopefully can happen next week

 

[Lighty64]

with our injury list, and with the amount of players that came back late from the WC how many players should we of signed? and is there any guarantee they wouldn't of picked up an injury before the season kicked off.

we had a tired team at the start due to the WC, but we still had a strong squad and the players we went for became impossible, De Jong, De ligt, and others through whatever reason, but as you hate Levy just keep blaming him

That's got to be contingent on our best players remaining fit.

 

[scat1620]

While it's never good to lose, I'm glad that we won the first leg of the Chelsea semi-final and lost this game rather than the other way round. Winning a trophy and finishing above Arsenal are the two things I care about, and we're still in the running to do both of those things.

I hate not winning trophies, i hate not investing in the team when that may be the difference between success and failure, I don’t know Levy, improvements can always be made, if you want to pay me a salary i will scout them out, we can always find a buyer for our crap as well at the right price if we need to free up spaces, levy fucked up in the summer probably side tracked with his property delays.

 

[RichieS]

Rather than bring someone new in, how about we keep Dembélé? A fully rested Dier will be back shortly to help with the run in. Do we even know bad Sissoko's injury is?

It's easy to assume the worst after a loss, but I can't see any way one of United or Arsenal is going to take 7 points more than us over the 16 remaining games.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

I’m sorry but I can.
We have to play Citeh, Chelsea and Liverpool away and we are very unlikely to get many points in these, especially with our injury problems. We absolutely cannot afford to slip up in any of our other 13 games.
Admittedly I think it’s highly unlikely Arsenal will be a threat but we should not write off United.

Oh, OK. Don't they have any hard games left then?

We don't have those away games for ages. Let's not be all doom and gloom!

Proud of that second half performance.

I was fucking massively proud of that second half performance. On another day, especially with the amount we have been scoring of late, we score at least 3 of those. We created enough chances against an apparent 'ressurgent' Man United after being a goal behind right on half time.

Nothing wrong with performance, just one of those days in front of goal.

Top 4 (3rd preferably) and a cup and I will be made up this season

 

[yankspurs]

Top 4 with all our injuries, no signings and the stylings of kieran fucking trippier at RB should be enough to get Poch a knighthood, tbh.
