20220522 - PL Match Thread - Norwich FC vs Tottenham Hotspur

What's interesting is that Kane was only joint 7th on assists with 9. Salah had 13.

Kulusevski had 8 assists from January in half the amount of games of both of them. Just shows how important this kid is to Spurs.

 

[Real Deal]

Kulu has 5 goals and 8 assists in 18 league games for us.

That is an exceptional return for a kid. What a signing.

Without him or Bentancur we don't get CL.

Not to put too fine a point on it but we aren't that far off of third.

The off field activities have put pay to their season. We've had our fair share but their's have been very damaging to their club.

Same could be said for us bit they have played well since the shit hit the fan for them.

If we can recruit wisely there's no reason why we can't overtake them, that being said i expect them to improve on this years poor showing.

I expect the top 10 points differential to tighten considerably next year.

 

[Real Deal]

What could have been if Conte arrived before pre season? With Kulu and Bentancur arriving in the summer?

Pretty sure since Conte arrived we are 3rd for points gained.

At one point we were first.

What a great year after the 3 wilderness years since the CL final!

That ought to be the case but i fear the top 2 are so far ahead atm that it could take another couple of seasons for somebody to set a realistic challenge.

Or if those spoilt prima donna pricks had played for the shirt all season.

I think Liverpool are going to miss their football guru who left.

City will do whatever City does. It's not really a usable measure.

Newcastle, Leicester, Arsenal will all be stronger.

You may well be correct. But we will be much stronger.

I fear Liverpool are only going to grow stronger but i agree with the rest. We can't afford to rest on our laurels but with Patty & Conte on board i can't see that happening tbf.

 

[Matic]

What a game! The scenes when Son got his second were a joy to see.

I didn't expect this end to this season but it really does show how good Conte has been for us and how important those Jan signings were.

CL returns to the stadium!!! COYS!!!!!!! N

"It's incredible to have this award," Son said. "I can't believe it. I got really emotional. I dreamed of it as a child. Literally it's my in hands. I can't believe it."

What a great final day and a superb achievement finishing in the cl positions. Although I am not a Conte fan I must admit he has got us back to where we need to be.

I get why you would say that Stevie, but if you look at our season and look at where we dropped points.
3-0 at C Palace away
0-3 Chelsea at home
3-0 M.U. at home
1-0 Burnley away
0-2 Wolves at home
2-3 Saints at home
0-0 Brentford at home
0-1 Brighton at home
That's 8 games where we threw away points against sides we could quite easily beat. win 6 of those and we would not be too far off them, I accept that we are unlikely to take 6pts off Citeh next season, but 3 is certainly possible.

Win half od those and we are into the 80 point range.
