Just how far behind the top four are we?

[Upper gaz]

How can we get anywhere near the top clubs in the Premiership? How much has it cost Man City? RS always find a way, Chelsea spent massive money, Man U will always attract players. Spurs/Arsenal always attract the major players (London). So how do we break this trend? 30 40 50 million pound players are not enough now so what can we do?

Effing miles behind.

Play well. Be managed well. Finish high up build a reputation. Spurs model.

I think it's the style of play and how to dominate games, Big money signings make that easier to achieve but if you get a system going that works with the players you have it can take you miles, Liverpool went to top 4 material just by having 3 pacey forwards and making it work.

Having a very young squad is a massive step in the right direction. We need a top top striker who can get 25 plus.

We have an excellent goalie, defence is a work in progress, gana is our Kante and the front four have started clicking.

It’s all positive.

 

[CrustySack]

No offence intended towards Cenk Tosun, but we need a class striker before we can realistically start thinking about an assault on the top 4.

Spurs are fortunate in that Kane blossomed while at the club. Our only hope of obtaining a top 4 striker is if Silva and Brands find a hidden gem somewhere who also blossoms.

I am quietly confident that we will aquire that hidden gem.

Probably 3 places up the league table.

Well I reckon if we pick up enough points on the road we might be able to overtake the mighty Watford.

Far too early to be talking about top 6, let alone top 4.

Two maybe three seasons

Energy on the pitch and belief off it will go along way. We have been fractured for too long.

We have had 3 stagnant seasons of turmoil.

It will take time to gel a side but with a clear plan we can get there eventually.

Spurs the RS and City all took 12 months plus to implement a system under their current managers. I remember after we beat Guardiola 4-0 that he said post match he had learned a lot from the game.

That is the hope for this season. That we establish a clear way of playing that is befitting of this club and that we continue to build a vibrant attacking side.

26 points last season
15 points
19 points
23 points

So about 7 wins a season.
