Spurs (a) pre-match thread

I had full faith in achieving this until the United home defeat. It's so much more than a loss that game.

Unfortunately true....but conversely a win will be a boost and hopwhopef push on to win all the games

Bounce back win the next 2 and everything will be rosey again.

Who do they play lb when rose is out? Do they stick vertonghen there?

Ben Davies - had a great season too.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I've put win, more out of habit than conviction. I just hope we don't find another bizarre, pantomimic way of conceding a goal!

Sorry if it has been answered already but why is this match kicking off so late?

So that the TV companies can screw us over with the travel. Don't expect to be home in Manchester much before 2.00am and have to be out of the house again by 8.15am.

I think we'll be soundly beaten here and the filth will only be 7 points behind us next time we play, albeit we'll have a game in hand thankfully.

Spurs will be out for revenge after the 4-1 at our place and our recent mental fragility and shambolic defending makes me fear the worst.

Yep, it's just a hit we need to take. Give the players a couple of days off after, get them back in Wednesday and raring to go the following weekend.
They must be physically tired but it's mentally where the damage will have been done.

It does look like that will be the case. Can’t see us being able to cope with Eriksen without Fernandinho.
