    Hi All,

    Good to be back amongst the Spurs TT community! Let’s see how these new Your Say pages work out…

    I wanted to gauge what people’s expectations are for the season now that we are 8 games into it? At the start of the season I thought a 5th place finish following a strong push for top 4 along with a cup final/win (similar to last year in a lot of respects) would represent another solid return. However given the results so far, and the positions teams like Chelsea and Liverpool are in, am I overly optimistic to think we are as well placed as anyone for a top four finish this year?

    Of course the Europa run will undoubtedly impact our results in the latter half of the season, but it feels like we have decent options in most places (considering many first teamers from last year like Rose, Bentaleb, Mason etc are not in the current team).

    Interested in your thoughts… COYS

    I too am cautiuosly optimistic about our prospects. I think we’ve bought well, our defence looks strong, Dier appears to be the defensive DM we’ve been crying out for, shame he’s suspended for the Liverpool game, Lamela appears to be coming good, Alli appears to be the business regardless of his youth and we have more attacking options. We also have a much deeper squad than most, meaning at the business end of the season coupled with our extra fitness, that should see benefits. Plus, we’re out of the distraction that is the League Cup, a result I’d happily have taken at the beginning of the season had it not been for the opposition. I don’t see top 4 as unrealsitic.

    Mind you, the appallling show that the current incumbents have displayed in the CL over the last few years means top 4 may no longer get a spot. We’ll have to win the Europa to be sure and that’s a big ask.

    Top 6 but in with a shout of top 4 until the final games is realistic.
    I like our side, we are steady compared to former seasons and the lads seem together.

    I hope we try for the Europa. We might not win it but I want us to try our best
