Too early to say. Next 4 games will be tougher than what we've faced and we'll have a better idea then of where we are with most of these injured players back under Ange. If we are losing 2 or more of the next 4 games then I'm convinced nothing has really changed and that Europa and Europe are out of the question.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We pretty much need to win all our remaining games to achieve anything.

Twice in a week I have agreed with Luka, might have to check my medication
Said it yesterday, I think Ange lives or dies on the Europa at this point.
In terms of the league we have some fixtures left that we never win - Liverpool A, Chelsea A, Wolves A. West Ham A under Potter will be very tough as they proved at the weekend. Fulham and Villa A will be tough as well - wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t win another away Prem game this season, best case scenario I reckon we win 2 and draw 2, lose 3. Being in the Europa will make these league games harder also

Jeez. Nothing easy there.
So after City we have 8 days to refresh. Might as well start with Kulu then. He will need that break more than most. Plus we should get back Dom, Micky, Romero and Richy.
Then 4 games in 10 days. We should be better equipped at least. Should be interesting
They way I’m seeing it is Europa or bust.
Winning the league games will be a nice confidence booster but we need to rest key players around the Europa games.
On Ange win the Europa he stays another season if he don’t we see who’s better around and make a judgement.

A season without European football might be the best thing for you at the moment. More recovery time between games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed. We all knew the schedule and you could see on paper how tough late Nov, Dec and Jan were going to be.
The squad's weaknesses became exposed and not addressing certain areas in the summer window came back to haunt us.
Even if we do not end up in Europe next season the squad will be in better shape with a few more signings this summer.
If Ange is still here, I wouldn't be as sad as some and if he leaves, we will be better place before he arrived.
The squad is still young and we clearly have some talented players who will get even better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tell us you have zero ambition for this club without telling us you have zero ambition for this club.
No Europe must and will always been seen as failure.

I'd have Ange continue next season without winning Europa, but it would have to involve something mad in the league like 9 or 10 wins out of the remaining 12.

If he gets us back in Europe from here, whether it be cup or league then sure give him another season.

It should be doable to perform well in both the Europa and the league. We've had a lot of players back now so they should be fresher and we show each time we hammer a team that the capability to do better than we've been showing most of the season, is there. Up to Ange to find the answers to get it out of them.

Europa is possible but if we win that while underperforming in the league, I'm still not going to be convinced by Ange. It would be another Ramos situation essentially. Wins the Europa and backs it up with much better league form then fair enough.

Don’t really subscribe to the notion just because players are back we will look fresh now.
The 13 players that have played nearly every minute for last 3 months will be fatigue for a long time unless they get like a month of doing nothing which isn’t going to happen and the injured players will take time to get up to speed.
Look at Kulusevski he’s just not the same player atm and Ange is reluctant to rest him.

It’s Flange that’s made this team into a joke, scraped 5th last season and has gone backward ever since, so yes I’ll take Poch all day long over the useless incompetent lump we have now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Funnily enough Poch managed 5th in his first season with less points....but Ange scraped it
Fans are willing to excuse the mega drop of form under Poch because he had a season when his strong squad was not refreshed. And we all understand that that was a difficult situation for Poch to manage, in his 4th season. But people give little allowance for the difficult situation Ange has to deal with in his second season.
I have no issues if people dont think Ange is not the right man, I am not convinced, he needs to convince most fans and probably the Board by the end of the season.
But the totally negative spin some of the less articulate on here is as extreme as those who express wildly optimistic views. If delusion is at one end of the scale, total pessimism is at the other, and there are a number of well known folk on here in the total pessimism category. They think they are speaking for the masses, and deal only in absolutes. Simple views, based on simple analysis, leading to an opinion at the negative extreme of the scale.
Others push back on this complete negativity, and particularly where such negativity reads to many others as wanting the club/Ange to fail, to prove themselves right. This attitude is evidenced in the response to us winning.
No one is saying "we've got our tottenham back' or we have no issues, but there is a contentment from some that a bit of form is returning, that with players back and new ones settling in we are improving, and the hope is that with much of the squad fit we will be able to maintain form and work on addressing some of the details that were causing issues in the first part of the season. Many, the majority, are prepared to give Ange this chance.
Others are simply too entrenched in their views that no benefit of the doubt is given, and my hope for the club i support if that these fans are made to look fools. Not because I win an argument but because it means my club is being successful.

It should be doable to perform well in both the Europa and the league. We've had a lot of players back now so they should be fresher and we show each time we hammer a team that the capability to do better than we've been showing most of the season, is there. Up to Ange to find the answers to get it out of them.

Don’t really subscribe to the notion just because players are back we will look fresh now.
The 13 players that have played nearly every minute for last 3 months will be fatigue for a long time unless they get like a month of doing nothing which isn’t going to happen and the injured players will take time to get up to speed.
Look at Kulusevski he’s just not the same player atm and Ange is reluctant to rest him.

It’s Flange that’s made this team into a joke, scraped 5th last season and has gone backward ever since, so yes I’ll take Poch all day long over the useless incompetent lump we have now.

Funnily enough Poch managed 5th in his first season with less points....but Ange scraped it
Fans are willing to excuse the mega drop of form under Poch because he had a season when his strong squad was not refreshed. And we all understand that that was a difficult situation for Poch to manage, in his 4th season. But people give little allowance for the difficult situation Ange has to deal with in his second season.
I have no issues if people dont think Ange is not the right man, I am not convinced, he needs to convince most fans and probably the Board by the end of the season.
But the totally negative spin some of the less articulate on here is as extreme as those who express wildly optimistic views. If delusion is at one end of the scale, total pessimism is at the other, and there are a number of well known folk on here in the total pessimism category. They think they are speaking for the masses, and deal only in absolutes. Simple views, based on simple analysis, leading to an opinion at the negative extreme of the scale.
Others push back on this complete negativity, and particularly where such negativity reads to many others as wanting the club/Ange to fail, to prove themselves right. This attitude is evidenced in the response to us winning.
No one is saying "we've got our tottenham back' or we have no issues, but there is a contentment from some that a bit of form is returning, that with players back and new ones settling in we are improving, and the hope is that with much of the squad fit we will be able to maintain form and work on addressing some of the details that were causing issues in the first part of the season. Many, the majority, are prepared to give Ange this chance.
Others are simply too entrenched in their views that no benefit of the doubt is given, and my hope for the club i support if that these fans are made to look fools. Not because I win an argument but because it means my club is being successful.
