What about Miggy vs Murphy? What about Isak vs Wilson? I've got a sneaky suspicion he will stick with Murphy, in order to give Miggy another week and I also think he brings Wilson in. Gordon, Miggy and Isak from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Miggy and Isak for me personally, though you could make an argument for Wilson to physically pressure spurs back line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other players have been deactivating their social accounts too. It's the perfect time to play them. He looked devastated on the bench like, hoping he's been getting pelters from the Spurs fans to demotivate their squad even further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I think, to a man, we all agree Isak is the more talented player but we've seen how well they have coped with being rotated. It deals with Wilsons fitness and it keeps Isak hungry. I'm happy with either but i do feel like Isak would have the bigger impact late on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Looked alright against them at their place? They created fuck all bar that set piece, when Trippier was snoozing at the back post and let Kane score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 We’ve been good in the big games at home under EH. Obviously hoping for a more Man Utd performance at home than Liverpool debacle mind 🙂 What would be nice would for us to not give up a chance within the first minute of the game like we’ve done against West Ham, Brentford and Villa! 😆 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Here’s hoping we have a rebound-run similar to West Ham. Battered at home against us, beat Fulham away, good draw away in an European QF, played well against Arsenal.

ilikenewcastle Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Can't think of a big home game this season where we haven't risen to the occasion spectacularly (Liverpool seemed like a distraction ahead of the final). If it wasn't for the manner of the Villa defeat I'd be so confident of winning this but instead I'm gonna spend the whole week crapping myself. Interested to know how people think we will respond. Villa was just a blip right? RIGHT?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be extremely harsh to drop him based on his overall performance since he got into the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd 100% call it a blip, however, I have two concerns: 1) I think we have some tired legs out there 2) We were not very good for large stretches of the West Ham and Brentford games. Seems crazy since we won 7-2 on aggregate but you could say there were signs heading into Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems crazy since we won 7-2 on aggregate but you could say there were signs heading into Villa. On that second point. I think football fans can be guilty of overrating their own players and performances. But also of the opposite and being overly critical. Not many teams in this league will dominate games from start to finish and stop the opposition from creating any meaningful chances. We did it against Man U. Villa did it to us the other day. The Brentford first half they battered us. Then we should have scored 4 in the second. West Ham had the spells where they pressured us. But were not clinical, defended badly and we ended up taking the piss in the end. In loads of our games this season. There have been momentum shifts and spells in matches where one side has the upper hand. It’s how well we have dealt with these and the game management (Eddie Howe’s Dark Arts Mags™️) that has been so impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa was just a blip right? RIGHT?!?! We were amazing home to Man U, whilst the score line probably flattered, also excellent away to West Ham. I think we got the run of the green (and about time too) away to Brentford. We’ll be better at home to Spurs than the mullering we got away to Villa. I think the first goal will be crucial but I’m sure we won’t be as off form as the last two away games. Defensively we look tired and perhaps a little worked-out. But yes, I choose to think it is a blip. Keep the crowd up for it and Spurs will see their arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
