Well we need to do well in the conference to give us the best chance to get the PL that 5th CL spot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's result and performance gives spurs all the momentum now. Yes I do. We have shown we can match the top teams just as much as we can put on a display like today, Spurs are even more extreme than us. It’s a bad defeat for us but Emery has shown almost every time this season after a defeat we come back with a win. Spurs have also showed that when they are just about go on a run they ‘Spursy’ it and screw up. Long way to go in this season, anything can happen.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I had a feeling this might happen... Spurs are better than Villa at the moment and now they have momentum whereas we seem to be struggling. Edited March 10 by Zhan_Zhuang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 36 minutes ago, nick76 said: Also Spurs might have VDV out for a bit and they struggle without him. Hard to believe they actually happened at 0-0. He goes off and we conceded two in two minutes. It's a good point though, looked a muscle injury so probably won't be available next weekend and might miss the last one in March aswell. Ben Davies and the Romanian guy aren't quite as quick to cover Romero's gambles on balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Spurs aren't just going to suddenly beat everyone other than City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, equally they might not lose all three games against the top three, but that's more likely than them winning all the other games. Pretty sure that Spurs would swap our points total and our remaining fixtures for theirs, even allowing for the fact they have a game in hand, or to put it another way I know I wouldn't swap our position for theirs They've got arguably a tougher game than us next weeked for a start, as Fulham are better at home than West Ham, Fulham in fact have won more at home than any team in the PL other than the top five We're still in a very good position 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Draguskin was warming up heavily at half time and then VDV came out second half and went down like he did and kept clutching it, even walking suggests it more than a little knock imo. Then knew he had an issue at half time and he tried to carry on but couldn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me years back when they had Vertongthen and Alderweireld, arguably the best CB combo in the prem for two years. Lovely recovery pace and positioning, their Konsa. He'll be in contention to start for the Dutch in the Euros while Konsa won't even make the England squad. Edited March 10 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 We are still in the race. And even if we do slip to 5th, I was 10 the last time we managed 5th. I am considerably older than 10 right now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a straight shootout between us and Spurs… we probably need 1.8-2.0 PPG to finish ahead of Spurs No to finish 5th. I was responding to posts saying Utd would overtake us. I don’t think we’ll get 4th. But hopefully 5th is enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Spurs Fulham (a), Luton (h), West Ham (a), Forest (h), Newcastle (a), Man City (h), Arsenal (h), Liverpool (a), Burnley (h), Sheffield United (a), Chelsea (a) Aston Villa West Ham (a), Wolves (h), Man City (a), Brentford (h), Arsenal (a), Bournemouth (h), Chelsea (h), Brighton (a), Liverpool (h), Palace (a) I think we will still get fourth based on those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to put pressure on us to get wins v West Ham and Wolves. Hopefully Fulham hold Spurs as if we then beat West Ham then the gap is 4 points with them having a spare game so there won't be much different to going into today's match with less games remaining.

useless Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Spurs could easily lose to Fulham who have won more home games than any team outside the top five, and could probably just as easily lose to West Ham as well, we're just as likely to take a load of points from our final five games as Spur are from their next four, what is going to make it difficult for them is having to play Newcasle, Man City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, one after the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
