Ace Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I’m fully expecting a refereeing performance to make it seem like the last 2 games had Collina in the middle. Wish I could back ‘Englands Harry Kane’ to get away with a red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Hate us going up against sides with three at the back. I'm thinking Spurs away last season, West Ham at home this season and Brentford away last week. The formation gives the opposition the ability to crowd the middle of the pitch and exploit the space left out wide. The reverse fixture was a strange old game, we got done over the top so many times in the first 15-20 that we dropped in a touch and we're comfortable for the remainder of the game. I like the think while we'll go 4-3-3 we'll see a bit of flexibility in approach here to contain them. While I'm looking forward to it, I'll be a bag if nerves come kick off.

80 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Have to say I hadn't given much consideration to referee/VAR fuckery until today. I've got images of a Trippier red card in the 20th minute. Paranoia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lenglet’s knackered will they still play three CB’s? Bit risky playing Sanchez after everything that went on yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Had a deek at a Spurs forum and lifting Saudi patter aside it's impressive how much they hate the players, Levy, Stellini and the club like. Made even funnier that the club, Levy, the players and Stellini hate the fans as well. Delightful stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Didn't know all that Sanchez stuff had happened at the weekend, Jesus. Other players have been deactivating their social accounts too. It's the perfect time to play them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Hate saying shit like this because its arrogant and could bite me in the arse, but we'll win this comfortably. That Villa game really annoyed me but with Spurs losing it was kind of a free hit, but more importantly it'll fire the lads up. They won't respond to that with a shite performance, plus they know how significant a win will be. They'll be right up for it, this could be our best performance of the season I'm honestly that confident. Edited April 17, 2023 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 On paper, if we play as we know we can at home, we should win. But I keep having nightmares of Liverpool at home... injuries and red cards. Fingers crossed it's a great atmosphere and dominant performance.

We react well and won’t just accept a shite performance becoming the new standard. Spurs still have quality in their side, but if we don’t make any silly defensive mistakes that give them confidence, we’ll be way too much for them to handle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Podcasting this morning, the Spurs host thinks they're going to get absolutely battered here. I wasn't expecting such negativity, but given recent result it shouldn't be that surprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Spurs have been quite defensive all season, it'll be interesting to see if they're forced to go with a back four and go for this. I watched the highlights against Bournemouth. As you'd expect with the personnel they have, they were dangerous going forward but a hot mess at the back. Porro had a car crash of a performance.

It'll either be that or a back four, which would be a pretty ballsy change of system at this stage if the season. Their best chance is with a back three though. I said earlier in the thread, but I don't feel that we look comfortable against teams who go 3-4-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinks backing into a CL spot will just delay the reckoning that is coming. Hates watching them.

Based on that performance I think we’ll eat them alive. They’re incapable of playing it out from the back but insist on trying over and over again.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 They've been awful for ages but they've still managed to score some goals with Kane and Son. Hopefully overall quality and tactics will be decisive and not individual moments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 All being right in the world, we should do to them what we did to Man United and Chelsea and they'll end the season around 7th, but I've watched them scum themselves to results far too often this season to be confident about it. Hopefully their loss to Bournemouth was the tide finally turning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
