Klopp lost his top 3 CB's and still looks like they will at worst get EL with a decent shot at CL. He also has won the CL and PL in the past two years so has earned a bit of that "easy ride" that he is supposedly getting.

Just showing the similarities between collapses/our seasons. Mad how that December meeting between Liverpool and us was the top 2, talk of the winner breaking clear at the top etc.
I guess a run of 2 wins in 8 across Jan & Feb will do that for you. Always felt that was when we started to kick on under Poch...

Yep. It was always around December we started to kick on with Poch because it was based around fitness. The Christmas and early January period knackers teams out but it helped us as our fitness levels were that much higher. His last season was the only one where we didn't kick on, partly a disrupted pre season because of the world cup and we also had a small, stale squad. I'll keep saying it our fitness levels this season are a complete joke, any half decent side just runs all over us. I have no idea whats gone on in training but the people involved should be embarrased.I guess a run of 2 wins in 8 across Jan & Feb will do that for you.

This is from middle of Feb. Around Match week 22.
“at this stage of the season the eventual top 4, over 90% of the time, will come from the teams currently in the top 5 places.
The other 10% the team in 6th might break into the top 4. A team in 9th place coming 4th or higher. Unheard of. But games in hand are screwed up this season!!!”
We were 9th when I wrote that. Moved up to 7th now but potentially we could drop to 8th with Everton’s game in hand.
And the top 5 middle of February?
City, united, Leicester, Chelsea, west Ham
Liverpool 6th.
Even in this totally fucked in season it looks like the league will be very predictable. I think I’m going to start betting on this happening from now on!

Exactly. Nobody can even compare the Liverpool situation. Liverpool have sweeped away trophies for the last couple of years and been completely dominant, so they are not comparable to our bunch of losers. We are forever underachievers. They are just having a bad one off season. Guaranteed Liverpool will be challenging the title next season. Spurs definitely won’t be.
Ndombele is the only 40 million plus player isn't he?
I thought GLC was but that was complicated because of how the deal was structured to screw over PSG.
I also read that Sanchez was up to 42m again not sure how it all works out as some of these deals are complicated behind the scenes with money to agents or clauses that are included that can increase the sale price.
Ndombele, GLC, and Sanchez were all 40M+ players.
All three have moments where you see what scouts saw in them, but collectively the return on that investment has been disastrous to this point.
Shocking use of funds.
To spend circa 150m on these 3 and still have gaping holes all over the squad is a joke.
Haha imagine if went for de ligt instead if sanchez. Dybala and fernandes onstead of other two. Woukd it of worked
Spurs going to need help from:
Even if all of those happen, scenarios may require tiebreaker with goals.
- themselves - must win all 3 remaining matches
- Leicester City, Aston Villa - must limit Chelsea to 1 point
- West Bromwich, Burnley, Crystal Palace - must limit Liverpool to 4 points
Even if all of those happen, scenarios may require tiebreaker with goals.
I must say I admire you for still thinking we have a chance, not taking the piss. I am ashamed to say I mentally checked out after the last shambolic performanceSpurs going to need help from:
