Spurs (H) - Sat 23rd Nov, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Not so sure on the ‘valid points’ part.

Everyone needs to get back to enjoy going to football games. Don’t let winning the league or not define our attitude to the team.

Looking at past threads from the last 3-4 years at this same stage and the comments were all extremely similar with some even calling for Pep to go in the February of the treble winning season.

Of course, we won’t win the league every season, and this might be that season, but if if don’t, we re-group and win it again next season with a returning Rodri, new signings, and hopefully - no charges (or their impact) on our backs…!

Whatever about the post history( I am not going to investigate this) the one in question makes a reasonable point. My own view is that we made a number of decisions over the summer which may contribute, along with bad luck, to a very difficult season.

Ball over our high line , son running onto it , goal

Always happens but pep never fixes it

Kulusevski’s at it now n’all. He’s actually got a better hit rate against us than Son.

Son has 8 goals and 4 assists in 19 games against us (g/a every 1.58 games)
Kulusevski has 3 goals and 4 assists in 7 games against us (g/a every 1.00 games)

Tottenham will sit back and counter. Using Maddison as the main creator. Kova needs to intercept or mark Maddison out of the game if he’s playing the 6, otherwise Son has an easy time against our back line right now, one ball over the top of our back line and he’s in. He’s always clinical against us.

We need KDB for this game. To break Tottenham down get Haaland involved. They will definitely target our high line. With Sons pace and the wingers

Storm Bert due on Saturday. Don’t know if it’s an omen or ominous…

I put a bet on us losing at Brighton as I’d not been as certain of a defeat for a long time after I saw the starting line-up.

Now I’ve seen this, I’m putting on us to win against Spurs. Storm Bert coming to turn our season around!

Gvardiol arguably needs a rest after his exertions for Croatia, especially running after that young Scottish winger the other night.

Surely we won’t rest our best player this season in the biggest game of the season to date?!

That is all we need

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Really tough 2 league games coming up. Have to win 1 of these games for sure.

If we only win one game, then it has to be the liverpool game

 

[Blu1]

If Kev plays is he even going to be match sharp ? I’d rather use him as a sub until fully fit.

I pointed out the same, minus the stats that Kuluveski manages to score against us practically every time.

I'm dreading this and the Dippers came because we have about a 1/4 of a team and I don't see how in two weeks of international breaks Pep will have solved the entire team dilemma. So voted loss.

You’ve not accounted for Storm Bert!
