    1) Score at least one goal. Pretty confident we can do this now.
    2) Don't concede. Even with Kane out, this is the hard part. If we sit off them and let them pass it around on the edge of our box like we did at St Marys this season we will be in trouble. I know they are two divisions down, but Millwall made a big mistake doing this in the cup tie at WHL last weekend. In the first half at least, Millwall kept their shape well defensively but Spurs in possession are excellent at creating space. Hence...
    3) Pressure them on the ball. They will try to play 90 minutes in our half, that as we know is how a Pochettino team plays. So don't let them get comfortable. Get in their faces, force mistakes, and challenge hard for every 50/50 ball.

    I have confidence in Puel's prep, and boy we have had time to prep like Manure.

    Players should be buzzing, especially Prowse and Redmond.

    If Man U played in R&W stripes they would sell just as many shirts as they do now IMO.

    Stripes have the advantage of making fat people look thinner. Although that doesn't seem to work on me for some reason.

    Sadly stripes can't turn a pear into an apple.

    Just read that we each have 3 lb of bacteria in our intestines, so I am not plump, I just have fat bacteria. :)

    You Sir, are a tactical genius.
    Basically then, we have to score and we have to stop Spurs from scoring. Brilliant! If only we can get that message to Puel we could win the league next year. We definitely need to get on this quick before anyone else thinks of it.:emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0100-smile

    In all seriousness you are not wrong in your analysis. Tough game however you look at it.

    Our chances have been improved by the arrival of Gabby (and the effect on the rest of the team) and the loss of Kane. No game is predictable (otherwise there would be no point in playing the season), but (without being certain) I can see us getting something from this game.

    Kane, lamela and Rose all confirmed as injured. Wanyama and Walker are doubts, whilst Dembele is available. Never a great time to play spurs away, especially with their current home form, but injuries do give us a better chance.

    I've heard that Spurs are going to put three men on Steven Davis after last season. That should free up some space for JWP to celebrate his call up with a hatrick and of course the goal for Gabby.

    with Kane not playing - are centre backs that important?

    Austin back in training (just) and Pied hopefully will be training with first team next week. He is currently training with the U23's.

    The goal for Gabby? Just the one? I'm expecting a hat-trick at least... :p

    Poor old James. First the club put up an interview when you still had training wheels and now the manager has said you are ideal son-in-law material. No way he will get teased in the changing room. <laugh>

    Dear Deirdre,

    I want to put a bet on Gabbi at the weekend. In the last three games, he's scored 1, 2 and 2. However, in the last game he actually scored three legal goals only to have one disallowed. So the sequence should really be 1, 2, 3.

    My question is should I back him to score eight goals or only seven?

    Thanks,

    Concerned Saints Supporter
