So, a reset for the season now that Jose is in charge ... November : 1. Beat Olympiakos (get the CL KO qualification done and dusted on round 5) 2. Beat Bournemouth To do the above will also get some winning momentum going (to do so would be the first time this season that Spurs would have won two or more consecutive games - another shocking stat ) . PL : Chelsky should be our immediate target now. PL 4th, 9 pts in front, and we play them next month. Let us see how close we can get to them before that game.
