I can’t believe you think we’re top 4 all of a sudden

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Its true he wasn't in the training pictures and its true he wasn't spotted on the plane from a video on spurs twitter
No journalist or Mourinho has said anything about it though so ...
We're not top 4 but we are still in the mix for Top 4 or top 6 , not many points in it. I wouldn't give up on it now for sure.
I would because it’s better and more likely to win the EL than get 4th
The one hope is that a trophy with aCL football bonus is more motivating than 3pts v Burnley or Palace for this rabble
I wouldn't worry about it. If he wasn't planning on playing then often players don't train.
Normally you give them a full day of recovery /rehab.
I'm sure he will stretch his legs today and tomorrow.
All very well but Brentford was made out to be some kind of undefeated Champo invincibles and “no joke” and Bielsa ball was going to wipe us off the planet.
Not really fair to play down 5-0 combined wins after the fact
WBA also held United very recently but of course they are league one standard so it doesn't count.
I'd rather win the the EL than get top 4, agreed. More glory and memories, and CL either way.
I feel Top 4 is a little more likely, I just can't see this squad having the stamina and bottle to get through 5 more rounds of knockouts against increasingly decent teams. No doubt it'll be Man Utd, or Ajax out for revenge, in the final. Top 4 is hard too but there's still room to drop the odd points and make it.
Bookies odds are nearly identical on Spurs getting top 4 or winning the EL. About 5-1 on either.
Quarter final knockout and 7th more likely though!
I do not want to rest all our hopes on 1 match (EL final)
There are some very decent teams in that competition and if we can't beat the likes of Burnley and Palace why would be able to beat the likes of AC Milan
Didn’t we lose to Burnley the season we knocked City, Dortmund and Ajax out of the CL?
Our league form in the second half of 2018/19 was terrible, so one thing's for sure is that anything can happen in a cup run.
Just imagine if Jose throws the league to prioritise the EL. He did it at Man Utd I recall.
Son will start.
Did the press conference yesterday, which is one of the rules about the player the club select to do it
I hadn't thought of it like that, but you're probably right.
Have to say though, I think we're still in with a chance of top 4. It's very hard, but possible. We've played a lot more of our tough games than most of the teams around us. Granted 'around us' has changed a lot in the past couple of weeks, hence the 'very hard'. I'll abandon all hope if we lose to Spam.
I want him firing his 50cal on the weekend. Happy he's not taking part in this one. Even if it is the more important game this week.
we have no chance of top 4 this year if we dont beat west ham sunday
Mourinho said that he asked if there is a such a rule and the answer was that the press conference player can also be on the bench. Either it's mind games or he really wants to rest Son because of the 120 played minutes last week.
I thought at least the league cup would guarantee another season of europa league but apparently it give you the new 3rd tier of European football next season that no1 would wana participate in!
So come 7th and win league cup is a horrible idea! The europa league should be priority and top 4 a close 2nd
