kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Tottenham and Chelsea are the best two teams in the league. They have the better defenders, we have the better attack. But with Alli scoring 13 goals in his last 15, son scoring freely and Costa more interested in quarrels instead of goals, I'm beginning to think tottenham have the better attack. Only Hazard is tipping the attack scale in our favor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those games won't be easy for them, but with the form they're in, what's at stake (the title) and with arguably their best player in Kane still to return, I can't see them losing to any of those 3. 34 minutes ago, Tomo said: Can see them dropping points at KP, after last season they hate them almost as much as we do. Marco Silva hasn't lost a home game in 4 years also. Leicester to take points off Spurs because they hate them is hardly a strong incentive for them as compared to us, Arsenal or even West Ham. Problem with Spurs facing Leicester, Hull etc is that they'll likely face both on the final weekend of the season, when they could be safe and have 0 motivation left. If we're going to win the title, you hope we would have sealed it by then rather than still hoping for teams to beat/draw with Spurs.

Technically Newcastle and Saints had no motivation vs Spurs last season and we know what happened there. Also Boro and Sunderland will likely be gone by the time we face them. And given the comtempt Spurs fans treated Leicester with last season, i can imagine they would love to kill there dreams at the King Power.

Not saying Leicester can't/won't beat Spurs but banking on them to do that because they hate them seems a tad silly. For all we know, Leicester might not even give a toss by then, especially IF they progress in the Champions League. And pretty sure part of the reason Spurs lost to Southampton and Newcastle because the title was gone for them and hence, the motivation went out of the window.

Laylabelle 9,754 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Nothing is a given. Even with Boro and Sunderland likely down still play for pride. Can't guess anu results really at this point as should be wins aren't always that. Sod what Spurs do its in our hands and only blame our results if things don't go right. We can't afford complacency again. Game at a time ever one a final same old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 10,284 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Guys. Spurs still have Arsenal who are battling for top 4. Man United and West Ham who hate them. If we can get throught United and Everton. I'm confident. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not banking on anything i will assume Spurs will win every game and we need 15 points until the goalpost's change, but people are really underestimating Tottenham's fixtures.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Chelsea fans are the only people who can find pessimism when we are up 7 points with 7 matches remaining. Chill out and enjoy the ride. If we go on a perfect home form, the title will be ours. Spurs wont have a perfect run. We dont even need to beat Manure or Everton. Relax!

Not underestimating but merely assessing what could be at stake for the other team in Spurs' run-in. It's easy to say now 'this will be tough, that will be tough for them' (I've been thinking the same) but by the time those games come around, those teams could be in 'beach mode' already. I do think they'll drop points somewhere but you never know IF they might just win all, just like no one had thought we would win 13 league games in a row this season.

DYC. 7,542 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Ibrahimovic's exploits in the PL at the age of 35, his debut season as well, is the stuff of legends. Don't think it's highlighted enough. It's the most physically demanding league around. And he's a striker. That's the hardest position to play and the position in which players suffer the sharpest declines. 35. Juggernaut.

Considering all the talk about how he may not be able to keep up, he has certainly proved anyone that believed that to be true, wrong! I've always thought he is class and he has proved it for sure. Tell you what though, Sunderland look scared on the ball. Never seen so much hesitation and panic on the ball and just a look of being lost.
