Spurs are a good team but that dont mean we wont give them a game. I think we can score goals there but unfortunately we have such a poor defence whoever is chosen to play. I'm hoping that we have put in plenty of defensive training this week, We know the defenders can play a good game as individuals but i want to see some team work with them and as for Fab in goal i want to see more instructions shouted at to his defenders instead of him out on a limb with no understanding what they are doing.......I do think our lads are hungry and with a little bit of luck we could get something from the game.....that's what im hoping for anyway....
No pressure on us - with the 3pts last Saturday, the Spurs match is almost a "free shot". After 2 defeats, the pressure will be all on Spurs.
It's not a game i would put money on but my attitude is never say never as football is a very funny game and so unpredictable....
If we've set up and play as we did v Everton , then we've a chance although Spurs won't be a wasteful in taking their chances .A win would be fantastic but a draw would be the best we can hope for
If our defending doesn't improve tenfold we'll get stuffed. Spurs by at least 2 clear goals for me, but I don't care if we lose as long as it's a good performance. Sunderland game is the biggie here.
I have to say that all the games are now biggies , as you posted the performance has to be good other wise we keep going into the next game trying to pick ourselves up so maybe not the result v Spurs is as important as how we play and take a positive effort into the game against Sunderland and so on.
Agree. The momentum from the last two games needs to be carried onto the spurs game. We're expected to lose so hopefully Bob will let the players express themselves. A good performance and then we turn our attention to stuffing Sunderland. Will be interesting to see if Gylfi plays. Personally I'd give him half a game maximum. Keep him fresh for Sunderland.
If Amat and Fernandez start together , my money is on a loss . If they don't start together , we have a better chance at not losing
We will need our best defence for this game, 2 wingers from the start, no Routledge, Fulton and Cork in front of the back four, Kingsley at LB, and Van der hoorn at CB, with Llorente up top leading the line, and Siggy in his natural position, if Bob plays anything else with Fernandez or Taylor we will get stuffed, lets see if Bob was lucky last week..............
At least the attitude is there with the lads and they really want to win for BOB......Even under Brendan if they fell behind late in the game their heads would drop and would lose the game but it's good to see that they dont give up and fight all the way to the end.....As valley says...A good performance is better than no performance at all and with a good performance there is always a chance........I hope there has been plenty of work done in defence this week....
Lets hope we don't have any tackles going in like these. Makes Pintado's look lame. Sorry to go off topic for a sec.
My mate who is a Spurs season ticket holder is ill so he has kindly offered it to me. So West stand here I come in line with the edge of the box near the Swans fans corner He thinks it will be a 1-1 we can't defend for toffee and they are struggling to score. I would settle for that
If Amat and Fernandez don't start together , VDH is one of the CB's , Llorente starts up front and Cork plays in the middle ...I'll be happy with whatever players make up the rest of starting 10.
I agree on VDH but Bradley seems won over by the fact Fernandez is an Argentinian international - how the hell he achieved that is beyond me. Spurs by at least 2 goals, unfortunately.
