I'm not terrified of Son or Kane getting injured. Obviously I hope it doesn't happen because they are magnificent players but even with one or other of them out, we have goals in the squad expecially if we can get Bale firing in some way.
It's staying defensively solid that'll be key for me. If we can do that, we'll compete.
The Dipper game next week will be fascinating.

Normally 6 games is a month of football with midweek games

They look like a team that has lost its identity but still has some quality players
Losing their main goal threat is gonna hurt them

I'm really not -- by "the next three are the big ones" I meant Liverpool, Leicester and Wolves. Old Spurs would promptly lose 1-2 to Palace, of course.

Form guide is 5 games.

Interesting. Half way really is a major marker, come through those next 8 games and the Xmas rush, within a couple of points of the top and I’ll start to believe.
To me, it's not just the halfway point marker, it's the most fudged up run of games I have ever seen
In 6-8 weeks we will have played City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leicester and Wolves plus critical Europa Games and a Cup QF ..
Get out of that run undefeated, will be a hell of a statement.
To me, top 4 is as simple as one thing, can we keep Kane, Son and PEH fit ..

Mid table = Saudi Sportswashing Machine and West Ham where arguably we deserved the points more than West Brom, once we’ve played everyone once this will be a good table to revisit.This one has a lot to take it (stolen from reddit), quick initial thoughts
- Us and Pool so far the best against top sides (makes next week even more interesting)
- All are reasonably decent against the bottom sides
- Mid table = most uncertain results?

To be fair though we still have to play the top 6 (and arsenal) in the second half of the season, AND arguably tricker cup games in the Europa and FA Cup. Agree about getting through this next month though undefeated would be a huge statement of intent.

I’m not expecting us to go undefeated through this run of games to be honest. We could beat Liverpool for example (which I don’t expect us to do but at the same time I don’t put it past us given that we have Mourinho now) and lose to Leicester or Wolves. It’s a draining run of games. I just think we’re due an off day at some point. If it happens then I hope it’s against wolves or Palace with all due respect as we could still nick a result against them playing badly IMO.
Same.
It might not even take an off day for the team. We’ve made pretty much no individual errors in the last three league games so we’re due one. It could just take one or two to turn a game against us.

We have definitely made individual errors, from the fairly big to smaller one's. We haven't been punished, partly down to us not making many individual errors, partly just luck.
It is a draining run of games I agree, but for all the top teams who are in Europe, its pretty much the same. Teams like Wolves who dont have European football have a massive advantage at this stage of the season.
Yes, but the odds of playing 6 out of the 7 "contenders" for top spots pretty much back to back? (not more than one break game between?) nobody has got that run either side of the season.
Yes fair enough, particularly in the Chelsea game. Probably about time one is punished.

Looking at other teams fixtures, no TOP team has a run like we have over the whole season. By that I mean a run of games against perceived top teams back to back

We made one that created a goal scoring chance vs Chelsea
So did they. Arguably they did two with then back pass error from kante abs the zouma misplaced pass to Moura
We had the Rodon one at the end

Thankfully this bad run of fixtures isn't replicated in the 2nd half of the season. Instead its relatively spread out.
