so the next 3 games are tough

[Rambler]

Depends who's available after our covid outbreak. If we have a full squad fully fit then we could get some points. If not and we are relying on our championship squad, in particular our defence, then 0 points

[Deeping_white]

Spurs will try to get an early goal and then sit off us, it's the Mourinho way this season. Park the bus and we can get a draw and try to hit them late on if they appear vulnerable. Chelsea are bang out of form so we should be targeting winning that one of the next three, and then a draw v Man Utd who are very Jekyll and Hyde.

Happy to be told I'm the forum loon but I think we can set up to frustrate all 3, much like against Liverpool and I'm saying 5 points. Will upset a few people saying this but we need Cav leading the front 3 over Mitro as we will need to press hard, save Mitro for Chelsea as they've got the weakest CB's of the lot.

well which is it, press hard or sit off them and park the bus? There's literally no point pressing spurs as they don't fanny around at the back. When they attack they attack with speed. Almost A route one Style. They will by pass our attack entirely so mitro would be great in this game. We need goals from our attack not extra defenders who will make zero difference in this game. Plus mitro will be better at defending set pieces.

"We need goals from our attack not extra defenders who will make zero difference in this game" - but you want to play a striker to defend corners?

Mitro is very good at defending corners.

I guess if we have players off/recovering from covid then playing the games we expect to not gains points would be the ones you would choose.

[mrmicawbers]

I said earlier that we will probably beat Chelsea as we can't witness it this season typically.

nope primarily mitro will be a striker who can also be of use at corners. Cav is just fast and no use going forwards or defending set pieces. It's a no brainier.

Can't see us getting anything
I just hope we can hold down the goal difference

[The Swan]

Sorry fulhamben did not see your post before I posted my version . Hoping for three points

no probs mate. i think pretty much everyone would be happy with 3 from these games.

[hovewhite]

Anything would be welcome lol

[Jules]

I am pretty concerned about who is or isn't fit after COVID cases. If we have to play spurs without the likes of Anguissa and Andersen we will really be up against it. I think 2 or 3 points from the next 3 games would be a good return

[ex-Pat]

Just curious,When are the easy games ?

[perry geyton]

7 minimum
F em

[FFC1987]

Realistically we need 2-3+ but I suspect we'll get 0 or 1.

I'd start beaming with joy if we managed 3 tomorrow and City beat Brighton....Imagine going on level points with two games spare....Brighton would start feeling real pressure.

Sorry, only 7 possible now! On a serious note, personally I think a great start of this serie of 3 games.
Looking forward to pick up another couple of points in the other 2 games :-)
