Spurs (H) Pre Match Thread

[melons]

Sounds like sour grapes now but I've said since day one of the season that back to back Premier League wins is more of an achievement than the Champion's League.
Liverpool will lose to Barca. I hope Spurs win the UCL as they are a good team with a good manager and plenty of English players. No hard feelings after last night. Not like last year.
Be good to do the domestic treble and the scousers win nothing again.
Here's hoping...

Last night proved what pace and skill can do to their full backs. Trippier shat himself anytime Razza got the ball and ran at him, same for the dirty little cünt Rose, how he didn’t get a red card for the two feet on KEV is shocking.
We CANNOT play Mahrez, he is too predictable and slows our play down. Have him on the bench, yes, but starting, definitely not. His days here are numbered imo, his work rate etc is far below that of Razza or Bernardo.

If we don’t win this, the derby game will be immaterial in the PL push.

Gundog had a decent game, maybe he should be paired with Ferni ??? Joined by Bernardo and Kev in midfield. If we are comfortably ahead, replace Gundog with Leroy and Move Bernardo to CM.

I’m really hoping the team are still furious at missing out going through last night and want some vengeance of the highest order and to drop them out of the top 4.
It’s up to us to win this, they didn’t really produce anything themselves as we GAVE them the chances to score.
We need to stop this Keystone Cop defending.
Come on Blues, Glory & a place in Football history(which probably won’t be done again) awaits if we win the next 5 games!!!(6 if we include FA Cup)

FFS - Who did Spurs play last game, are they not physically knackered?

Yes, but they won't be able to change as many of their players as the players on their bench are not as good as ours...we can bring in 3/4 as good as the starters and they can't...that gives us the opportunity to freshen things up and keep the same level of quality on the pitch. So let's use that to our advantage.

SMASH 'EM BLUES, JUST SMASH 'EM.

Send the lilly livered cockernee pie n mash perennial losers back to Haringay with a Chaz n Dave knees up album shoved up their collective soft southern pansie arses.

Thanks.

Foden?

I think I would. We need players who can open up a team and drive at what I expect will be a sitting defence. KDB is the man for this but he doesn't have a full season's fitness behind him, and can we rely on him for 3 games in 7 days.

I would go with:

---------------Ederson-------
Walker--Stones--Otamendi--Mendy
----------------Danilo
--David Silva---------Foden
--Mahrez-----Jesus-----Sane

Went with the idea of fresh legs. I feel we have to be brave and gamble on winning this game with a rotated side to give us the best chance v Utd in the week after.

KDB, Sterling, Bernardo potential subs.

Alternatively start these guys and sub them off, but that assumes we can take the lead. It may not work out that way and we could end up playing them for another 90 mins.

I maybe over-exaggerating the effect of 3 games in 8 days. We have been preparing for this all season and now we are here.
