Get Flatrack out the door for circa £50m would be a nice start.
Next year it will be to stay inthe premier league
Villa won't finish above Spurs. I suspect neither will Brighton. Still think Spurs will finish 6th.
Forget the league positions. Focus on actually putting some passes together and resembling a top half premier league side

Let's try and keep things realistic ok pal.
I’d honestly set a target of just not conceding in the first 15 mins. Even if that means we line up with 11 men on the line and wellie the ball out of the pitch at every opportunity
The bizarre thing is the Euro conf is a trophy Spurs might have a chance in if they weren't so far up themselves thinking they are a CL level club still and resting players just when they get to the stages that matter.

Spurs will beat Brentford, which may be enough, given Btighton and Villas fixtures.

Brighton may have 3 games in hand, but they can write off any points at Arsenal and Newcastle if last week was anything to go by. They also have to play Villa. Both cannot win.

This. Club needs to just focus on playing football. Tired of club targets with these lot. It's pointless. We should start with player targets. Passes, tackles, distance run, closing down. Shots on goal etc
Any player that doesn't achieve their targets for two games in a row gets dropped. Simples
Culture needs to change. Players need to take responsibility as does the manager.
Sincerely hope we finish 8th and out of Europe
Reset for next year

That's not a guaranteed win, seeing as Everton thumped them 5-1. Southampton have nothing to lose now.

Everton had 23% possession and 6 shots. 5 shots on target and 5 goals. The sort of freak result that happens occasionally. Rarely does pragmatic football play out like that.
Also 15 Brighton corners to 1 Everton corner. Brighton as they have for many seasons badly need a talisman striker. Evan Ferguson will be that player next season imo.

So did I hence my analysis of the game. I didn’t say they didn’t deserve their win. What I said was rarely to that approach to a game return 3pts. The Brighton GK didn’t make a save. Everything went Everton’s way, the footballing gods favoured them if you will.
Occasionally the sun shines on a dog’s balls.
You will finish 7th. Villa have Liverpool away and then play Brighton. Brighton have to play Arsenal, Newcastle and City, difficult to see a situation where both teams finish above Spurs.
Bizarrely I still make Spurs favourites for 6th. I actually think we'll probably fumble our way to winning our last two games. Which pretty much rules out Villa regardless, though I think they'll likely drop points.
So winning our last two would put us on on 63 points, which means Brighton would need 8 or more (vastly superior gd for them) to finish above us. I don't see them getting 8 points from Arsenal, Newcastle, Southampton, City, and Villa.
