Elliottman Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I hope we got thrashed like 0-6 so to let Fat c*** know we are heading to relegation. Please be an awful joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, we're starting with this craic even earlier than normal this season then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Seems like so long since we last played. Going to be class regardless (assuming it's not embarrassing, which I don't expect tbh). Assuming they stick with their 3-4-3 it'll be interesting to see how we line up as, IIRC, we didn't play against that at all last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We'll see it a lot this season mind, Arsenal and Chelsea both use it and i wouldn't be surprised if City use it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm surprised 3 4 3 is still in trend tbh. I would have thought it would have already been figured out by the better managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think all but about 2/3 teams last year tried it at some point. Generally, from what I've read/heard, it's thought it's best to match up against it to defend against but I'm not sure we have the players to do that, particularly at WB.

In fairness the better managers are the ones that are using it, almost exclusively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I imagine part of that might be a case of matching up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think Wenger particularly did it to match up initially, but then he realized that it suits his players a lot more than any other system so he kept it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Spurs fans seem to think this will be their line-up: Lloris Dier Alderweireld Vertongen Davies Dembele Winks Sissoko Alli Eriksen Kane Vorm, Wimmer, Walker Peters, Wanyama, Oakley Boothe, Georgiou, Janssen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Poch has stated that he never got over our 5-1 win last time out and that it ruined his whole summer. Apparently, first day back of last pre-season he was still seething about it, and bollocked the players after he felt that they all disappeared for int'l duty after the last game and he hadn't got it out of his system. Safe to say, he'll have them 100% up for this one. Tough game. I'd snap your hand off for a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papavasiliou Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Sissoko thought he was getting sold It's on TV and he'll be wangling for that dream move to Real again. He's probably going to batter us all over the shop then do nowt for the rest of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Rafa mentioned it this morning. I'd wager Poch will say so himself if asked the question pre or post match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have been fucking embarrassed by that. Of course they'll care. Anything apart from a hiding would be nice to take to Huddersfield. Still think we can get something though.
