I think come the end of the season, the Jose's band of Spurs will be challenging for the title more than the Dijk-less Kloppties ... if we’re still there or there abouts come the business end ...

For starters, I just want all our players to come back from the internationals with no injuries and perhaps after having played the least minutes and getting some good rest over these next two weeks.

Kane, Son and Bale will be a nightmare to play against. We're still struggling to find any consistent form. But you never know with Spuds as they have a tendency to bottle it.

mane,salah,jota and firminho are a bigger nightmare and they are in the laundry basket after our defence put them in their pockets and forgot to take them out.

I expect us to play well in this one. Just got to avoid the usual Mourinho/Tottenham mugging off.

It won’t be them running at us I’d be worried about ... it’d be the shut up shop at the back classic Mourinho tactics trying to nick a 1-0 that’d frustrate us ... and they’re sitting in a very good position ...

We need to start putting together a string of wins now ... 3 draws and 1 loss in first 7 is already way too many points dropped.

Probably the toughest game of the season along with Anfield.

Not confident we can get a result here with the way we're playing.

We have to win this game.

Gonna take probably 20 or so less points to win the league this year which gives us a chance, but there's a big drop off in our attack which means we'll draw more games. Uncertain right now tbh.

We have to win this game.

A draw would do.
it’s back to a more normal season when the achievement should be to draw the away games against other challengers and win all others with the side that manages to upgrade some of those away draws to wins the winners.

a draw against the top 8 away would give 7 points. Wins against the other 12, 36 points. Total 43 points.

at home aim should be to win all. 57 points. Total 100 points.

of course it doesn’t work like that and more points are normally dropped

Wow, they do have a horrible run of fixtures coming their way starting with us ... and ours get better after them.
