Topping the group

From Poch:

"“Before January, Chadli and Son will be back,” he added. “Today is too far to January to decide – Son maybe three weeks maximum and Chadli maybe four, five or six."

We need to get the next round place secured before the final game. I don't want any 1st team players flying to Azerbaijan before a 12pm Sunday kickoff against Chelsea!

Dunno why but the EPL is carrying an unprecedented number of injuries so early into the season. Almost 20% of the playing staff (roughly 25 per team) are carrying an injury (84 reported). Moreover, many are starters so the proportion is likely higher than stats suggest. This time last season the number was around 11% so almost double the number of injuries?!? Oddly, teams carry 3 or less injuries are, no offence intended, generally speaking, league fodder? Doesn't make any sense

I feel sorry for Bounrmeouth.

Three cruciate injuries, all three probably out for the season. Two of their record signings, plus their top scorer.

That's the difference between staying up and being relegated. One of those a season is unlucky, but three?!

comment by Dont cry for me Argentina we have Pochetinno and Lamela (formely avb easy as 123) (U17539)

-------------------------------Kane



Subs - Vorm, Trippier, Davies, Winks, Mason, Townsend, Clinton


----------------------------------------------------------------------
do we reckon 'bele could play 3 games in a week....

He starts tonight

Wouldn't be surprised if we are protecting a few players like Son etc for the busy winter months. Spurs are always a bit vague on injuries I find

November is a mad one for us; Arsenal A, Chelsea A, West Ham H. Depending on what team tip up for those we could easily see a return of 0 points, although I am confident of getting at least 3.

I think we'll top this group with ease, Poch seems to have prioritised the league and EL this season. Beat Anderlecht twice and I'd say we are as good as qualified at least.

Topping the fecking group, your having a laugh, Spurs will be lucky to get out of the group.
