Surely we can get 1 single point in two games. Can’t we?
Hopefully the Newcastle result inspires the team and takes the wind out of Chelsea a little. If West Ham had won relegation would be so much more likely and that would massively feed the crowd and some of the players.
Even if they beat us we're still strong favourites to stay up now, so this game feels a lot less meaningful from a Chelsea POV.
Think scoring first is especially important. On our recent run under De Zerbi the only time we've been behind was against Sunderland and we really struggled to get back into that game after they scored. Under this interim, Chelsea have looked most comfortable sitting back and soaking up pressure (the cup games against Leeds and City). I worry if they score early they'll just park the bus and we won't be able to break them down.
The fact they're playing at home might play into our hands, though. They'll presumably try to play and maybe we can catch them out with the high press.
People talking about next season targets and European qualification when we're not safe just yet. Have you lot not learned that we're talking aboug Spurs??? Don't count your chickens before they're hatched!
WTF are you talking about? It's nothing to do with complacency, it's not my 'opinion' - it's simply maths.
Of course we WANT six points from our last two games. Of course we WANT to get at least something at Chelscum to guarantee our survival before the weekend. But there is no remaining realistic scenario in which we NEED more than one point to survive.

The TFC posts by Scarletjim are put up in our changing room before every match, don't you kmow.
Our fans are fucking idiots
I'd heard that motivational quotes from Vinai and Lange covered the changing room walls from top to bottom
My gut feeling is that we will go into Sunday still needing a point, but that tomorrow we will only fail (if we do), having given it everything.
The great thing tomorrow is that we can throw the kitchen sink at it,even though I think we will be defensively minded.
Their team selection will be quite interesting. One or two of the filth's players looked gassed or carrying slight injuries.

Well that patently includes you, if you call yourself a Spurs fan that is.
And me as well of course, but I'm happy in my skin, I accepted that I was a fucking idiot many moons ago.
Fcuking madness.
I include myself in that for sureWell that patently includes you, if you call yourself a Spurs fan that is.

For different reasons mind
Anyone assuming that we are now safe is patently stupid
All the pressure is on West Ham now. They must be struggling, hugely.
We just need to hold our nerve and keep our discipline.

I agree with you apart from Sarr, I think there is a player in there and I'd like to see what he is like after a full pre season with the RDZ!
We wouldn't have gifted the gooners 6 points I know that much is true, its a strange season as the league is actually really and the fact that 2 of the prompted teams are staying up proves this theory, you would like to think with not so many injuries we would have made mid 60 points which would get us CL , its just typical Spurs to be in such a mess in a kind of transition season for the big clubs and the goons to take advantage.
Makes you realise how much shit we were in that West Ham have lost 3 on the trot and we're still not safe.
If we do stay up that weekend of the Brentford defeat and us beating Villa was pivotal.

Not sure myself. How long do we wait? There is often a notion it's a change of manager that is needed but I also think it's necessary to sometimes accept it just won't happen with a player.
Yeah its a call for RDZ , I just have a feeling there is a player in there
