Spurs (a) pre-match thread

I do not feel confident about this one tomorrow. No Kun again is a major blow, I was banking on him being back. Jesus needs to step his game up, might have scored on Tuesday but has been strangely subdued in the last month or so.

Nothing strange about it. He's just back from an injury too.

First time this season that I don't think we can win. Just hope they give a good showing and give it there all. Expecting more jaw dropping decisions against us off Moss.

Saturday evening games are part of the new contract as a regular TV thing.

There has been a cup game trialing the slot. But this won't be the last time for this 7.45 KO Saturday.

Sky wanted to show this match as it could have been the one where City won the title had we drawn v United.

BT have a tea time game. Tottenham play again Tuesday night (the game they should have played Cup Semi weekend away at Brighton).

So it was probably either Friday night or Saturday night.

With CL the week before it could not be Friday.

Thanks, yes I knew about the KO times with the new TV deal, I don't like it personally, but that's not yet, so wondered why this one was at 19:45.

CL 1/4 Final> Man Utd/Derby Match> CL 1/4 Final> Spurs.

Not suggesting this was fixed but if Utd, Liverpool or their new favourite Spurs --now that Arsenal is on the slide-- had been dealt those cards would they have moved the derby?

Our most tricky fixture of the remaining games couldn't have come at a worse time, I still believe we can win though, I just hope I don't have to mention the ref much after it or I may snap.

Think we will play well it’s if we take our chances what we haven’t been doing.

Not a necessity to win, a draw will be a fantastic result.

Liverpool games aside, this is the first game this season that I'm feeling genuinely pessimistic about. Tottenham are most similar to Liverpool in that they can press and counter attack really effectively against us. They can also sustain a high tempo and players like Eriksen, Dele, Son and Kane are all very dangerous at the moment. Fortunately I think they can also be had in defence and Lloris is garbage too.

Missing Ferna is a huge blow, Gundogan doesn't offer the same protection defensively. I think Sane needs a rest, he's played the full 90 in our last 4 and has looked knackered. Otamendi has also looked shocking in recent games, Jesus too but with Kun out there's not much we can do there.

Hoping for a win, BUT if we lose hope its not by 3 or 4 goals that will hit the team really hard when they are already on a low

I don't know. I'm not as underconfident as most blues.

I think we'll win.
