My first thoughts were why the bloody hell are Norwich playing Rennes, and my second was why the hell would anyone even mention that here.
One of them thread titles…

I suspect Conte will want to win the Rennes game simply so as to keep a winning run and confidence going.

After the Rennes game the next ECL isn't until February at the earliest, and that might be a better time to make a decision on competition priorities, not least because we will know where we are after January transfer window.

But equally he will want to win all PL games.
 
Norwich

I’d like to be proven wrong, but I feel like we’re maybe too far gone in the ECL. We shouldn’t go down without a fight though
 
Norwich. If we can only be 100% for one of the games, I'd rather it was the Norwich game.

I always want us to win, but part of me wants us to go out of Europe to give Conte a week between games to work with the players. I think we'd make faster progress.
 
In all my life I've never cared less about a game than I do about the Rennes game. Its a fn disaster of a game and an utter shit hole Cup. Seriously its the saddest most pathetic competition known to man kind, up there with the Scottish championship Cup and the European tiddly winks superleague. Spurs should be battling to get in to the top 4, well we should if we had a functioning midfield, but how can you if your stuck in the Thursday night Diddy cup rut..... Brings in fck all revenue, zero credibility and merely adds another fixture in an already congested season....

Fighting relegation or battling for top 4 - either way you don't want sidetracked....
 
If we end up 2nd in Europe we get 2 more matches that will impact on more PL points than this match. We need to beat Rennes. The biggest fear about the Norwich game is that how tired will the players be after playing Thursday. Whilst Norwich played earlier in the week, they are not used to playing twice a week and it might hit them harder. A strong enough team must be put up for both matches. The problem will be the accumulative effect on the match next weekend.
2nd is the best we can hope for btw. Rennes are 4 points ahead of us. It’s a playoff at best.
 
Genuine question; if we beat Rennes are we through or can Vitesse go though if the get a better result V the Mighty Mura?

I‘m not 100% certain, but I think mathematically Vitesse can still pip us to second. We hold that spot on goal difference at the moment so I assume that if both us and Vitesse win they’d need to overturn that to take second spot.
