Not sure you can be blaming injuries. Spurs have managed to stay consistent through injury and have dug in. Plus your team should still be beating the likes of Leicester and west ham with just a couple of injuries (basically gomes and taa). Hell even west ham were missing theie best striker and centre back
You have thrown the cups to make sure your players arent over exerted
while i agree with your main point it was a bit more than couple of injuries
Gomez
Taa
Wijnaldum
Henderson
Lovren
plus AOC
PS on a side note i have consistently argued that Spurs have a deep squad which most people (including their own fans) just seem to overlook.
Didnt know winja was injured. Everyone hates lovren and hendo (generally)
Spurs have had far more injuries this year (i also think they have a better squad).
They havent had alli for most of the season, kanes out for a couple of months and son has been on internationals twice. Erikssens also been out for a month or two. Theres been zero injuries to your front 3 relatively
Our defence has been decimated this year. This has been the biggest contributing factor to our position.
Still first teamers
That's a benefit [HASHTAG]#luckedout[/HASHTAG]
Our issue is more that the injuries are in similar positions
well only 1 RB injured but it's ok MF's can cover
Klopp kept dropping TAA earlier in the season to accommodate Lovren, moving Gomez to RB. As much as I don't agree with Joe at RB, you could make a argument for him being the preferred option there
OK so let's say we even lost against West Ham with the correct offside decision
But we get an extra 2 points from the Arsenal game where Mané's goal was incorrectly disallowed
So still a point better off than now
And we get the Keita penalty, so we're 3 points better off than now
And then imagine how things would change if the rules for yellow cards were consistently applied to Fernandinho?
All I want is referees to be as correct and consistent as possible
PGMOL

I think this was more about not wanting to overplay TAA as he is still young and learning
At least these nights give your mob some much needed joy
No connect between midfield and attack. What the **** happened with Hendo and Wiji?
This.
I think the refereeing standard in this country is rubbish. There is no outstanding referee and most and their linesmen make appalling mistakes. But to say that the refs or PGMOL have it for us is stretching it.
so loan out his understudy
If TAA was first choice, Gomez was the understudy. Or vice-versa if Gomez was the preferred RB.
apart from the fact he was injured and by then there should have bee worries about when he would be fit to return.
Put it this way we can hardly moan about injuries leaving gaps if decisions made by the club have exacerbated them .
Both apparently picked up injuries from only playing 1 game in the last week.
Not sure what's going on in training, but to have jaded and injured players when the fixtures list has been light is worrying. Aside from long term injuries, like Gomez, there should be less with less games to play.
I'm not moaning about injuries, they happen.
Clyne was (and still is) **** and wouldn't have offered what we are currently missing regardless so it's no loss imo.
AHHHH... but here the thing.
how much of our issues are down to lack of confidence and people not sure who is where and can they rely on that person.
Had clyne played last 5/6 games imo...
a) palace wouldn't have got 3 goals
b) matip would have a bit more confidence in whos around him (we've changed the player every time)
c) we might still be in FA Cup.
and so on and so on.
we could of course say if taa was there that would be even better...
The amount of chopping and changing is not helping us so having one fit RB would have helped. (IMO) and we threw that person away.
