Really? That’s your take I guess. Bear in mind we have to add Europe next year. Minimum 10 games hopefully.
But this season after 10 games we had 26 points.
11 points ahead of United and 14 ahead of Chelsea.
21 games later we are now
11 points ahead of United
16 ahead of Chelsea.
That fast start gave us a buffer. But we haven’t really kicked on in the 21 games since then.
Same form as United as 2 points better than Chelsea. Doesn’t point out to me they would have to improve ridiculously.
Same timeframe
Woolwich have collected 13 more points
Liverpool have collected 14 more points
City have collected 12 more points
Villa have collected 4 more points.
If anything it says wee have to improve ridiculously to catch up with the top 3.
And us Villa, United and Chelsea are quite closely matched.
Even taking the last 10 games we are closer to newcastle amd man United than the top 3
So I guess it depends if you think our form for the first 10 was the new normal for Postecoglou Spurs or it will turn out to be an anomaly.
Micky was out injured for a couple of months. Madders as well. Cutí was suspended for three games. Bissouma as well.
If Micky and Madders stay healthy I think we have another 5-7 points and are sitting within striking distance of the title.
We need a left footed pacy back up at LB and LCB. We need another creative mid to provide depth.
