So yet again Spurs fluff their lines. Only six losses this season and five of those to our top 4 rivals. It's not just fifteen points lost but fifteen points given to our opponents.
I have often said it doesn't matter what you to against the top 4 but the rest that counts, however, one or two draws on the way would have been better than five defeats.
Spurs now have eleven games to make sure this season has not been a wasted opportunity. Ten of those games are against teams outside of the top 7 with our next game at Goodison Park looking the hardest. We really must put things right immediately by beating Everton, not an easy task and one we failed last season.
Arsenal's form is certainly improving but they do have a more tricky run in than ours. Arsenal's home games include Newcastle, Manchester City and Chelsea with their away games featuring Everton and Stoke. Nine wins would not be unlikely for them the way they are playing so we will need around 23 points or so from our last 11 to guarantee third spot.
Redknapp needs to be shrewd about his team selection and make sure we have our best playing fresh and available as much as possible. The FA Cup is a distraction at this stage but this is our competition so we should be looking at trying to win it.
We have failed the test this season as far as I am concerned, now is the time to put a few matters right.
