gbandit Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I think the same, possibly Krafth instead of Manquillo as Howe seemingly preferred him recently when Manquillo was back to full fitness? Seems like Howe is quite cautious about bringing people back into the side when they’re coming back to full fitness which I quite like. I’m predicting a 2-2 draw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) The Spurs front three are electric like, Kulusevski has slotted in nicely. He's not the fastest, but he uses the ball really, really well. It's difficult to see us getting anything here. The hope is Spurs have an off day, which isn't totally unheard of.

Thiago Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 If we play like we did against Chelsea I think we can win. Spurs and Conte sides tend to most damage on transition. A low block is a killer for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 It’s one of those where we might not play badly and still lose by 2 or 3. If they’re at 70% but Kane & Son are on form, they’ll win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Despite losing two in a row, we still haven't conceded two in a game since Man City. Even with that game included, our record is 12 allowed in the last 12 matches. Tottenham are banging in the goals under Conte, but are still wildly inconsistent. Seven wins and five defeats in their last 12. No draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 6 hours ago, The Prophet said: Good point, they've really struggled against sides that have deployed the low block. Conte has had a wonderful career in management already. That said, two of his more pronounced struggles are managing multiple competitions (he rarely does well in Europe) and also figuring out how to break through a stern defence. I sometimes think it's a consequence of his reliance on pressing. We've seen under Eddie Howe how an organised press can really help a team create chances without needing a lot of the ball. That's grand, but when the team you're facing doesn't really come out and try to play, how do you then create the space required? Short answer, you don't, so everything needs to be more precise. They may still batter us, score a few corners, a well worked cross, who knows. I do think Conte is a good bet for Spurs long term, but only if they actually have the stones to back him and build him a squad capable. Right now, the defence alone is nowhere near it.

Billy Warthog Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I'd be more confident about this if we had a decent strike force in place, as I think they'l get a couple of goals at least. Any points here would be welcome, but we'll have to work bloody hard for them and avoid any late trauma like at Chelsea. I'm getting to go to this one too, looking forward to it!

Kid Icarus Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If we can be the team that plays on the counter, there's no reason we can't beat them. Kane and Son are in form, but when they and the rest of Spurs are trying to break teams down rather than playing on the counter, they're not the same. I fancy us to scrape a narrow win.

STM Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 This isn't the game for ASM tracking runners. Let him play right in behind their right wingback, let Joelinton do that work and when we win possession play quick passes into ASM. Also the game for Bruno. One good through ball on the counter could be killer against these lot. Also they were bobbins in the air against Southampton the other week, so Chris Wood should... actually na forget that. Apart from that, don't play a high line against Son please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
