Think we'll be hyper up for this and will ****ing dominate Spurs but I have a suspicion that Liverpool will win all their games. Away to West Ham and home to Spurs are their only potentially tricky ones. This CL race is going down to the Chelsea game.
Gotta bad feeling about this game, but then I remember Spurs are shakier at the back than we have been recently.
I think we were that bad defensively in recent games but none of the teams could really punish us enough. Could have easily been 3-0 at half time to brentford.
The trouble is that this game almost seems *too* much of a banker for us, ie us playing well, up for the game after the Villa defeat, and Spurs being a hideous mangled mess right now. However the house always wins in betting, and there will no doubt be some ****ed up sod's law where all the Spurs players play out of their skin for pride of their club in this match, showing that despite the manager debacle they can get get a right for the fans....before going back to being dogshit for the game after this.
A banker ? They're 3 points behind after 30 games and you think Newcastle are operating on another level ? Surely its a 50 /50
It's the team that just got schooled by Bouremouth in their own backyard, and before that needed to cheat to beat Brighton, couldn't beat a dogshit Everton team, and let a 2 goal lead go against the worst team in the league. And that's before we get on to the fact MOTD devoted a good 5 minutes to discussing what a useless **** the stand in manager is. Their current league place is nothing, they ain't gonna stay there.
We've both just came off a bad result but there's is even more of a confidence destroyer. No manager and a **** result like that we should be confident.
We are helped massively that the caretaker guy seems to be a grade A clown - literally no ideas of his own and just play the same **** way that wasn't working under Conte.
If they are so Inferior then why are they only 3 points behind having been playing in midweek games in Europe?
Cos they have an excellent squad, and had a top class manager, who had done ok before he lost the plot. But even doing "ok", ie top 5, was underachieving, seeing as they should be challenging for the title with that squad. Now they aren't doing ok and are a massive mess.
