Patches of bad form happen, for every team (even Real Madrid).
The game is built on such fine margins Watford/Leicester could have easily been 4 points obtained from us. Similarly last season beating Swansea and Crystal Palace away we were lucky to win both games, it happens - its football.
We are currently in a bad run of luck due to injuries and feeling the pain from another bad summer transfer window. We need to prioritise selection in the midfield, which is costing us & start playing Trippier-Rose/Aurier-Davies combinations & our season will comfortably turn around again & we will easily get top 4.
This was always going to be a season in transition, top 4 & a good cup run is what we need to achieve. Then pray to god we have a good summer transfer window for a change whilst keeping hold of Dele for another season.
A different take...

Injuries aside, the new Tinkerman needs to stop tinkering. Changing the side every other match is killing the season more than anything else.

Not nearly as mch as playing the same 11 every game would
Sandy fatigue is a thing, maybe during the war or whatever people didn't get tired, but we're soifter today and people do. I mean sports science is a thing.

Bunch of big girls blouses these days.
20 year olds should be able to run around for 90 minutes, more than once a week. I am still climbing mountains and I am nearly 70.

It's not about getting tired, it's about being at peak physical fitness.
Being match fit at a Premier League level is far far far fitter than any of us on here, their tiredness means not up to match fit.
You don't need to be at peak physical fitness to drive a van and lay bricks.

It's not just about being able to run though Sandy, there's recovery time etc. they have to consider or players will get injured, also they play at such intensity these days it's very hard to run like that, and importantly retain high levels of concentration playing 2 games a week.
Poch will turn this all around very quickly, wouldn't be shokced if Spurs were in top come Jan 1st, or very close to it.
Football is a bit mad, we beat Arsenal well and then didn't win a game for weeks (maybe we won 1) while Arsenal won 4 in a row and went points ahead of us, you beat us well and since you've only won 1 game I think while we have won 4 and drawn 1.

Normally I’d be confident for the Xmas games but we just don’t look as fit this year. Most of the team look knackered
Add injuries on to that, no Toby / Vic and the Sánchez suspension.
Of all the players we could have signed I wish so much that we’d got Zaha in the summer. For the third season in a row we have no pace or width other than Son. Mad
Also where on earth is NKoudou?

I see that you are still absolutely clueless about football, sandy

As much as we have had success with three at the back I'm hoping to see us play 4-2-3-1 next weekend. Playing three centre backs with Toby injured and Sanchez suspended would be ridiculous.

As useless as Llorente has been for us, Dembele’s injury situation should have been addressed in the summer. Sissoko has had about 3 good games while Winks has impressed in Europe and for England but hasn’t shown me too much domestically if I’m being honest.

I doubt Spurs will finish top 4. They dropped too many points against the lesser sides but also look like they have been found out so will keep dropping points.
