We have been here before no toby (several times now),no mousa (more than several times),no Kane (is it 3 times now with this ankle?) the sky was falling,and guess what,we were fine and probably will be now.Kane was injured last time we had city at home,that turned out ok.Every team misses key players every season,we have been quite adept at ploughing through regardless.
Will we though? I done some of them there stats doohickeys, yeah I know, facts, what did they ever tell us?
We are doomed!
Harry was out for 8 PL games last season, in those 8 games we got 3 of our 8 draws, 37.5% of our season's draws in 21% of the games played. Doomed!
24th September 2016 ,Middlesbrough 1 Tottenham Hotspur 2 - Son Heung-Min x 2
2nd October2016, Tottenham Hotspur 2 - Manchester City 0 - Alli, Kolarov (OG)
15th October 2016, West Bromwich Albion 1 Tottenham Hotspur 1, - Alli
22nd October 2016 , AFC Bournemouth 0 - Tottenham Hotspur 0
29th October 2016, Tottenham Hotspur 1 Leicester City 1 - Jannssen
1st April 2017 ,Burnley, 0 Tottenham Hotspur 2 Dier - Son Heung-Min
5th April 2017, Swansea City, 1 Tottenham Hotspur3 - Alli, Eriksen, Son Heung-Min
19th March 2017 ,Tottenham Hotspur 2 Southampton 1 - Eriksen, Alli
In those 8 Premiership games we got 13 goals, Sonny 4, Alli 4, Eriksen 2, Dier 1, Jannsen 1, Kolarov (OG) that works out to 1,625 goals per game, over the whole season we grabbed 2.26 goals per game. We won 5, 62.5%, our whole season win rate was 68.43%, Doomed.
Nah, of course we're not doomed, we're the New Spurs, the Swansea game last year is the classic example of neo-spursism, 1-0 down from the 11tth minute right up to the 88th minute then bish, bash, bosh 3-1!
As Kolarov is over in Serbialand and won't be giving us a nice own goal, Sonny will have to step up and recent evidence says that will happen. Dele is getting his old form back and has scored in 2 of his last Premier League games.
The only game I am worried about is the West Brom one. What is it with them? We have played them 23 times in the Premier League and have only won 9 of the fuckers! They are absolute pants this season, but I am bothered, another fucking draw there would make me so fucking grumpy. That game is a must win for sure, demons to be killed.
Luckily stats only tell us what happened, not what will happen, only that clever bloke with his education, XGs and bookies odds can do that. It will be fine, no worries.
