Geogaddi Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Feel like this game will suit us a lot more than Everton, Spurs will actually try and play a bit of football instead of hoof and hope which will play to our strengths a lot more .

buzz Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Feels like a physical impossibility to compete here but then again Spurs are probably the closest comparable team to us in terms of injuries + suffering from side effects of intense playing style.

Obv up to the other team to accept. Might fuck with tv deals and fan travel but otherwise it’s all upside. haha I feel like def both sides would love to just say “alright draw here. Shake hands. Let’s get our boys some rest ffs.” starting to miss that winter World Cup like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I doubt Spurs fans would take a draw at home. Our injuries are worse, we've played far more and harder games, have rotated far less, have a much weaker bench and have got Milan on Wednesday. Their injuries are bad but if it was the other way around we'd be well up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Everton, for me, was the toughest test on paper for the games left in 2023, I think we have a great chance at a win and would settle for a draw. As others have previously said, their style of play will suit us more, they won't sit deep and they'll try and keep a high line and play the ball across the grass. Gordon, Almiron and Isak will have space to run into. We just have to take our chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would add new levels of off-pitch drama, intrigue and a new kind of strategy to a sport that has languished under ancient rules in the modern era. Immensely marketable drama, it hardly need be said. Probably one of my top 3 ideas all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Phwoar, Wilson being a bench option would be fucking dreamy even for a 20 minute run-out. You'd hope we can maybe get Barnes and Willock on the bench for Milan too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
