Elma Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Been waiting long to use that joke ? It's an old one certainly...just couldn't resist it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Think we can get a result here. We do have a (somewhat new) air of unpredictability now so don't think Villas-Boas/Spurs can really "figure us out" so to speak. Probably a bit too optimistic there but we shall see.

Skirge Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Get argy go at them, with Defoe injured I'd be tempted .. IF Tiote is back. Krul Mbiwa Tayls Colo Debuch Santon Cabs Tiote Sisso Cusse Gouff Or the more sensable Krul Debu Tayls C olo Sant Cabs Tiote Jonas Sisso Gouff Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Krul Taylor Coloccini Debuchy Santon Tiote Cabaye Sissoko Jonas Gouffran Cisse 2 wins in a row, only change this week being Tiote for Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Skirge loves three at the back. This could go either way, I am a little optimistic though. They have no strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 A difficult game right now - they are playing well and getting results, Bale esp in top goal-scoring form. They will be anxious to build on their good run in order to try for CL, and if we get anything here, we will have well and truly earned it. The midfield battle will be interesting esp if Tiote is back alongside Cabaye and Sissoko and we will certainly give them a tough game, hopefully better than last season there.... My worries centre more on our defence,esp the FBs who are good at going forward, less so in defence and we need to keep the ball when we gain possession. Will be delighted with a draw.

alexf Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Was going to watch this with my mate who's a tottenham fan but he has refused. Now I don't know if that's because he's scared we'll beat them or he doesn't want to be a smug git if they win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit off a bit and try to get Bale 1 v 1 against anybody with space behind to run into, I'd have thought. Haven't watched much of Spurs this season so not sure to what extent sitting off a bit is part of AVB's vocabulary these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'm not looking forward to Bale going up against our full backs. I think we need Jonas to stand on his laces all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Bale is on fire at the moment and will give us all sort of problems but our midfield can really give them something to think about too. Sissoko is a nightmarish type of player to pick up because he's an absolutel powerhouse who can finesse it hovering between midfield and attack. Gouffran offers us a real threat with his speed too.

JH Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Third game in a row I'm going to miss completely live (either in person or on telly). There's only one thing that can happen, really. Tottenham 0-4 Newcastle. All from corners, probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Probably a stupid idea, but would anyone consider playing Mbiwa at right back to counter the threat of Bale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Probably a stupid idea, but would anyone consider playing Mbiwa at right back to counter the threat of Bale. No chance, Bale spent yesterday drifting to the right a lot so would be a waste adapting the back four to play him. We just need to make sure he gets cut off early.

Ikon Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Even if we do get pushed back at times, i can now be confident that we'll be able to be very dangerous on the counter-attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think we can beat these guys so I'll go for an optimistic 0-3. It's unlikely but we can. The Chelsea result has afforded us a little bit of freedom given that the other sides around us have difficult matches too. We can atleast go there and play without so much panick. Guarantee they will already be worried about Sissoko and the danger he brings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
