Tottenham lost Van De Ven and Maddison to injuries. They'll be out into late December and into the New Year, respectively. Son will be leaving for the AFC Asian Cup. Sarr and Bissouma will be gone for the AFCON Cup of Nations. It is safe to say there is no way they're gonna survive December, January, and possibly February.
We're kind of in the same boat with Øde, Partey(injury and AFCON), Tomi (losing him to Asian Cup)...the difference is we maybe have some depth. I remember the Robbies talking about the Spurs don't have depth and that's why they might not be contenders, low and behold...
We have the depth to do well against most teams coming up. Our toughest opponents are Liverpool on 23rd of December. By then, I expect Odegaard to be back. Partey will be replaced by Rice and Tomi can be covered by Zinchenko and White. We have way more upside than Spurs. By the time the FA cup starts, they'll start burning out their bench players.
btw it's "lo" and behold
We're kinda in a worse boat tbh, Jesus, Timber also still out, plus ESR though word is he's doing well on recovery.
