Shak Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 With ASM still out and Gordon not really impressing I wonder if this could be the game we see Howe start Isak and Wilson together? Obviously it's nice to have the option of Wilson off the bench but it does feel like this is a game that we might just be able to overwhelm Spurs from the first whistle and win easily given the disarray they seem to be in. Gordon and Murphy on the wings isn't exactly a pairing that I fancy to create a lot while Wilson has looked much sharper his last few games. Obviously a big call to start them together for the first time in such a huge game but given how bad we've been the last two games (only turned it around against Brentford by going with the two strikers) I do think it must surely be strongly considered? Feels like the best way to not win this game is by being a bit toothless up top and letting a fragile Spurs team grow into the game. Go at them from the start and we'll beat the shit out of them IMO.

Andy84 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) To think these hypocrites were the most vocal opposing the takeover even though Levy would have been frothing at the gash for the same investment.

buzza Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 For me our best displays have been with: longstaff/bruno/willock miggy. Wilson. Big joe could perhaps slip isak out wide?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woudn't be that shocked if Wilson starts over Isak tbh. Wilson will be raging to have been so badly outgunned by Watkins last week in front of the England manager. He's basically lost his England spot on the back of that to a direct rival. He'll be champing at the bit to get at Spurs tomorrow, so maybe Eddie will want to channel that.

I just think he'll want to keep one back in reserve just to give us a bench which will keep Spurs guessing. Still no idea which one it will be. I can't see us playing both up front and going for broke when it's Spurs that need the win more than we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 First time I can remember since probably the last derby that I'm nervous the night before.

midds Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Biggest game of the season - Isak has to start. He's our best attacking player and has to be on the pitch from the start, not sure where but he has to play as many minutes as possible in every game if he's fit.

Ketsbaia Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I hate being confident, like We shouldn't expect to beat Spurs but there's a good vibe about it - if anything, last week's defeat adds more confidence that there'll be an apologetic performance in a partisan atmosphere. Man, what a massive match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
