Don't see any rush for conte to come back. Whatever the current set up is, it seems to be working OK. Results and performances have improved without him on the touchline.... If it aint broke, dont fix it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly - they aren't looking over their shoulders everytime Conte bellows at the slightest thing. Maybe they are playing a little more relaxed and slight more freedom?

Stellini coaches 1st Half
Conte coaches 2nd Half

Dream team

whatever works !!!

No restin g players for the cup game thats my opinion. We stand a chance of winning the cup so go flat out for it I say
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Away in the cup I think we will need high energy and speed

75 points would not be close to our record of 86 points

Fair enough if that's not close enough. I think the last time we got above 75 points was 2017/18 season.

70 points is the average needed to make the top four.

The lowest was 60 in 2004 and the highest was 79 in 2014.

10 wins from 13 should be more than enough to make 4th, we could probably get away with 8 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, giving us 71 points.

You'll walk top 4 with 10 more wins. Wouldn't be shocked if 7 or 8 is more than enough.

If only we could bag an FA Cup along the way

I don't know what our run looks like but 10 wins out of 13 seems unlikely to me. Yesterday wasn't exactly a test, let's be real. Chelsea don't know how to score and are in shameful form. Even Doctor Tottenham couldn't help them.

Much bigger tests to come and our team is not perfect i.e. Son/Kulu's form, no Bentancur. Stellini or not, we aren't going to to win 10 games.

This time last season we had 42 pts from 25 games, and were sitting 7th, 5 points adrift from 4th.
So 3 points better off this season at this point.

So, yeah 75 is a tall order, but we got to 71 last season, so is achievable.

Next 6 games all look winnable:
Wolves (a) they are 15th
Forest (h) 13th
Soton (a) 20th
Everton (a) 18th
Brighton (h) 8th
Bourthmouth (h) 19th
So all the current bottom 3 and two in the bottom half.
Brighton the toughest game, but we are at home.

Even 14/18 points from these fixtures would keep us right in the thick of things.

Newcastle have to play Utd, City and Arsenal + us, so will drop points.
Liverpool also have to play Utd, City and Arsenal + us, and will also drop plenty of points.

Would love the draw to really open of for us in the FA Cup, but the league is looking ok, assuming we maintain our current form.
