I see that there is only 3 days between the matches and less than 72 hours. Arsenal Wed 4th March 19:45 Spurs Sat 7th March 15:00 What do you reckon, could it be a good or bad thing for us? It depends on how we do away to Hull first but I just fear our thin depleted squad could be a bit stretched. A good result against Arsenal though and I think we would be well up for the Spurs game. At least now under Ramsey I don't think we will show them big boys the unnecessary respect Harry did.
The Spurs match could be moved to another time on the saturday, if Sky take up offer to show. I hope not
Don' think we have a hope in hell of getting anything from Arsenal, but spuds might be good for a point.
Feck it I hope not, I'm over for the Arsenal game. We have nothing to fear. Arsenal struggled to beat Leicester at home.
We also beat Manchester City away from home quite convincingly. Swings and roundabouts really. Ultimately no game is easy in this league and you need to take each game as it comes. Whilst Leicester probably should have beaten us, we ended up getting the points and it's not always a bad thing to under perform on the day but win the game. If you want to have a good chance of beating us, play the best dribblers in your side because we tend to struggle defensively against teams who have players with good acceleration and who aren't afraid to run at our defence. Mahrez and Schlupp gave us all sorts of problems the other day because their quick feet and speed was too much for us to handle. Unfortunately they didn't have the end product to match their endeavour.
Right now any game is a bad option because of the injury crisis that has exploded in the last couple of weeks. It's looking likely that all the walking wounded will still be out for both these fixtures which gives us a real headache. Never a dull moment though - I'm almost looking forward to SWP taking on Walcott stride for stride
I think that Taarabt, Hoilett and Matty Phillips might cause you some problems if we can get out of our half.
Tottenham are playing on the Sunday, so their midweek match wikll also be on the Wednesday. Therefore neither side will have a longer rest before we play them. We also will have a lot more rest than Arsenal will have before that match.
We beat them both at home when we just managed to survive 3 seasons again. We may need to do the same again - got to go for all the points going.
