Top four finish?

Did a little detective work. Our last 5 seasons after 25 games:

You get 3 days rest before league game and 4 days rest before Europa game when in Europa league. On the other hand,
You get 4 days rest before league game and 3 days rest before CL game (at least half the time) when in CL.
That means you get more rest for league games if you are in CL and more rest for European game if you are in Europa league. I know which I'd prefer. If you have Tues-Sun as it sometimes happens for CL clubs, that is a whopping 5 days rest.

Tues-Sunday also means lesser days to prepare for CL, isnt it ? We do have a handful of games on Monday, isnt it ?

Can't see anything- I presume there's meant to be a picture.

There is no point getting worried about EL. Leicester doesn't have any cup games - that's to their advantage. But then, we got to look past that. We have to take each game at a time.

This mini run of 6 wins we have now started with a Leicester cup win, followed by Colchester and 4 PL wins in between. Winning helps winning.

I am sure players don't look at fixture list & get worried. Every player wants to play. Every player in our squad is fit. We are getting Mason back this week. Njie apparently has made a speedy recovery & is now only 10 days away from ready for selection.

We have 2 sets of full back, 4 proper CMs, 4 good AMs. Kane looks as fit as he has been. Just think of the high team moral in the group. If I were in that team, I would want us to play every single game.

This Tottenham team is very very different to previous years. Trust the manager & don't worry about fitness & fatigue

Yes but if Leicester beat Arsenal they will be massive favourites for the league title. It's about winning the dam thing not putting distance between us and the teams below us

We need a draw between Leicester and arsenal and us to win. Would put us 1 win from topping Leicester (better GD) and open a gap on arsenal

Jesus, our April fixtures are absolutely brutal!

I agree it's a difficult run, but I wouldn't be as worried about that if it were a different month. However, being that it is April, it worries me alot. Why? My concern is that Poch's teams suffer a drop off that last month and a half. His first 3 seasons in the PL have seen his teams finish the season from April onwards with 1.33 ppg, 1.33 ppg and 1.375 ppg.

The arrogance of possession-heavy teams is what has allowed Leicester to do this. One-touch football is back with a bang.

We've given up points too easily to really deserve the title, but if it's going to be about who's left standing, the next month will sort everything out IMO.

I just hope we can see out some of these games against the 'big teams' at their grounds and come back with 3 points. We are able to play well enough to do so but we just don't cross the line. United away and in particular Everton and Arsenal away should have seen us with wins.

We're not renowned for getting wins at these particular grounds, but I'd be really disappointed if we didn't win at at least one of The Etihad, Anfield or Stamford Bridge this season.

[jezz]

Every game is tough.
I just don't see us getting outplayed by anyone which in turn gives us a chance to win every game.

 

[timmytime]

It's best to forget the crystal ball stuff and enjoy the ride while it lasts. This season may seem like the be all and end all but we are hopefully experiencing something now, that we will experience for many years to come, sustained success. Very exciting times indeed! COYS!

Anything is possible when self-belief comes into play!

The ultimate SPURSY.

If the league table was to end at the end of the season as it is now, we would be in a position where after all the years of trying, we finally finish ahead of Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Man Cityand Liverpool in the same season..........only to be beaten to the title by a team who just came up from the Championship two seasons ago and who was fighting relegation last season.

 

[arunspurs]

Leicester run in :

Arsenal(A), Norwich(H),WetBrom(H),Watford(A),Newcastle(H),Palace(A),Sunderland(A),Swansea(H),WestHam(H),United (A),Everton(H),Chelsea(A)

After Arsenal they have nearly 6 to 7 winnable fixtures & in the end have 3 tough games. But then, in those 7 winnable, there are quite a few relegation candidates. I would expect those teams to sit back & back try nick a draw against Leicester. Leicester may not lose more games, but certainly expect them to draw few games.

If we want the title, we got to take the chance when presented.

During the EL group stage games we played 9 league games and won only 3

This is my worry too.

I can't remember us being 2nd best or outplayed in any league game, sure we have had bad spells and poor halfs that have cost us points but over the whole game I don't think anyone has made us look inferior

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

I am so glad that none of us are the manager, so many negative thoughts. Poch talks about belief, the team has that now, it didn't earlier in the season hence the draws that should have been wins. They believe - I believe.

Little artificial though as we have started to click as a team far more over the last two months
