The Prophet Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Spurs do have their defensive problems on the road. In the last couple of months they've conceded four at Brighton, three are Fulham and two at Everton and Man United. While there has been an improvement in the last couple of games, the concern is how open we are ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Van de Ven being back fit is massive for them, mind. He basically covers their entire back line when they all fuck off up the pitch. He's ridiculously fast and agile for a big man. Bit off topic. But it would be a worry that he's already getting hamstring injuries when he relies on such explosive pace. He's only young, isn't he?

Phil Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Fancy it to be a close game for 70 mins, then their bench will make the difference, with Spurs coming away with a 1-3 win, As others have said, would snap your hand off for a draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those games that can go either way as there's not too much between the teams. If we win then we become favourites for top 6. If we don't then we're still well in the hunt but the MU game becomes huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I assume we miss Willock for this. If we go at these we will get shredded open, low block and just get the job done. Dubs Murphy, Krafth, Schar, Burn, Hall Bruno, Longstaff Barnes, Gordon Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Their pace, players dropping into the hole between defence and midfield and the amount of players they throw forward concerns me. Son, Maddison, Johnson, Werner are all players that are dangerous to us. I hope we sit back a bit more and hit them on the break. Similar to how we played at Villa Park, think we can get some joy if we do that. Draw won't be a bad result, but we can win this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and win every game We need 58 points to get Europa now, 1 point is crucial in a game we are expected to lose. Draws vs Brentford, Brighton, win vs Burnley, Sheff United, Palace and we are in Europa with Man U and Spurs as free hits. By my working if we beat Man U we finish above them mind and we may well be qualified for europa when we play them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that, I am not expecting us to lose that, especially at home. They are vulnerable like any other team. Edited April 8 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't beat Everton at home, and we got battered for 60 minutes vs Fulham. Spurs dismantled us earlier this season. I like your optimism but it feels fairly blind. I'd be delighted with a point.

Well the bookies have Spurs as very slight favourites, Spurs got battered for 90 minutes at Fulham and lost 3-0, they've won two home games vs bottom 4 teams and have 7 points from last 12, same as us and we had tougher games, not hard to frame things either way.

Ginola14 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 we've had some great home results against Spurs down the years some fond memories include 7-1 Keegan 6-1 Robson FA Cup 4-0 Robson a few late winners (Ketsbaia, Duff - how the hell did that team go down?) a few 3-1s 2-1 Pardew 5-1 relegation season 6-1 last season cause for optimism I suppose fuck Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your optimism but it feels fairly blind. I'd be delighted with a point. We battered Everton at home, just didn't get the second goal. We didn't get battered for 60 minutes off Fulham, was about 30 minutes. We were the better side for the rest of the game. However, I actually agree. I would take a draw. Momentum is important.

Sibierski Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Should be a fun game, both sides are capable of brutally exposing each others glaring weaknesses. Us with the balls down the sides with runners from central areas, them with pace and Maddison have free reign in the massive space in front of our defence. I’d be starting Gordon on RW and Barnes on LW this game. If Trippier isn’t fit, I wouldn’t be against Murphy starting over Krafth, just for the legs and extra pace in back line.
