As much as our finishing is poor, I feel like we're also cursed at this point.

We can have like 10 shots, 10 on target and 0 goal. Then there are teams like Spurs, who continuously have like 1 shot, 1 on target and 1 goal. It's worse when you consider their xGs have tended to be low.

Spurs smashed goals past the likes of Wolfsberger, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Dinamo Zagreb recently but 6 of their last 7 losses have come against Liverpool, us, Everton, Man City, West Ham and Arsenal.

They also have tough game but are they really in the race anyway?

Well by dropping points yesterday, we've opened the door slightly for them, no? If Liverpool beat Wolves, they'll only be 5 points behind us. That gap is not huge at all.

And it's precisely how Spurs suddenly crept up on us within the last 2-3 weeks because we didn't beat Southampton, Man United and Leeds. Keep dropping points and they might just catch up, assuming they sort themselves out.

But isn't that the narrative with every team? All of the top 4 challengers will have those if, buts and maybe's, it's why we're all fighting for top 4 and not the title.
