Match Day Thread Spurs vs NUFC

Lololololol

6-8 to the Toon.

 

No Schar is an issue, think we lose here.

 

We know exactly how they'll play. Comes down to quality

 

Hope Kelly plays a blinder.

 

Just read he's missing Tuesday as well fs Bruno too hmmm...

 

Livramento cb trippier rb you would think.

 

If Botman isn't ready I'd start McArthur at cb

 

What about Heffernan?

 

We will play the back five again. McArthur is a LB I think so more likely it’ll be Murphy, Trippier, Burn, Kelly and Hall.

 

Alex Murphy in CB? Or do you mean use Jacob as a make-shift RB/wing back?

 

Murphy RWB as he was last night. He clearly wasn't RW.

 

We aren’t playing Japan!!

 

McArthur is a centre back and is captain of u21s. He's also been our best player u21s this season

 

Good knowledge, thought he played LB with Botman LCB against Chelsea but maybe he was RCB?

 

I actually agree.

Got a bad feeling about this one.

 

Worth noting though that they have injury problems in their defence (Udogie went off injured too in their last game) and Forster in goal a few years after his sell by date.

I'd be surprised if we kept a clean sheet but more surprised if we didn't score a couple.

 

4-3 win.

 

Kelly in for Schar I guess.

Great time to play Spurs, they're wide open at the back and Van Der Ven, Romero, Udogie and Victorio are all out.

We have a great chance to win here.

 

They are significantly weaker than when we played them earlier in the season, numerous injuries and gaping holes at the back. Schar may be out but they're in a far worse place injury wise.

And them having to resort to Forster shows a lack of squad depth - wasn't making the team at Southampton, so had to go back to Celtic to win some free trophies, before Spurs bizarrely went in for him as reserve keeper.

 

Alex Murphy is the LB/LCB
