Chris_R Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Can't see us winning tomorrow. Too many top players out and Spurs are doing well this season. I expect they'll beat us. One thing's certain though, under Howe we've always got a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) 12 hours ago, Tsunami said: Be interesting what rotation Howe does on Sunday, can see Fraser starting, might make a change at the back, can Wilson start so soon again and who would come in for, Willock or Anderson (assuming he doesn’t chuck Shelvey in cold)? I don't see us resting Wilson before the World Cup. Even if he pulls a muscle he'll have a nice break to get fit again. Think many teams are doing the same and there would be more rotation during this hectic schedule if the WC wasn't there. Not exactly fair on the players going to the WC but can't really blame the clubs either. No club is going to save their players for the national teams.

I think we ought to rest Wilson at some point and no match is better for that than the game tomorrow. That’s our toughest fixture before the WC. We lose him to injury and we’ve got Wood as our only option for the next three ties. Southampton and Aston Villa are very winnable. I’d rather target those six points than the three at Tottenham. If he’s still ambulatory, yeah take a stab at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I wonder if Bruno doesn’t play (I’m pretty sure he will like) then Howe may be tempted to mix the formation up and play 5 at the back. I can’t see him wanting to throw in Shelvey from the start or Jow if he’s not fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 As ever it will simply come down to can we handle Son and Kane. These are very strong at home and we’ll have to be at our very best to have any chance. 1-3 Wilson, Willock and Anderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 No chance he'll change the formation for this. If he didn't do it against Liverpool or City he won't do it against Spurs, just isn't happening. Especially to go 5 at the back, that would be insanity to to do considering where we are now defensively and as a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew stumbled onto an ideal front 3 in Ba/Cisse/Ben Arfa with a solid midfield two of Cabaye/Tiote behind them, the rest of the team was mediocre. We also hit on with Chelsea and Liverpool being well below their usual standard in the final placings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
