markjazzbassist Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 We are coming off a win, they have to play Stoke tomorrow after crashing out of Europa League to a Belgian side. You never know with Spurs, they either look like world beaters with Poch's system or they look terrible and tired. I hope we get the latter. I think it will be either: Robles Coleman Williams Mori Baines Schneiderlin Davies Gana Barkley Lukaku Lookman OR Robles Holgate Williams Mori Coleman Gana Schneiderlin Baines Barkley Lookman Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 This is a big game, 5 at the back is nailed on IMO and we will attempt to counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Could be a City-esque game with their moral being so low. Hope was smash them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Er, C, I accidentally deleted your post instead of quoting it! Lookman was awful today, lost the ball three times in horrendous positions and why doesn't he look to move forward with the ball? He always turns back towards his own goal.

Finn balor Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Spurs are normally very good defensively. Will be a good test of where we are after a run of games against average sides. I think 3-5-2 or a variation will be played and if we're in the game later on we can change the system. Holgate,mori,Williams,Coleman,baines,gana,Morgan,Davies,Ross and rom. Spurs are a good team. I rate dembele and Erikson. If we concede early it will be a real struggle but I think we can take three points if we play with belief. 1-2 rom and ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep agree - shouldn't be starting in a wide position, impact sub no problem. Start as a striking partner for Rom, no problem either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) This is going to be a real test for the team. Think Bailey is right, well set up to counter Edited February 26, 2017 by Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I would take a battling 0-0 but I agree that we can win this. The important thing is to avoid defeat and keep the momentum going. We will need big performances from everyone, especially Robles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith B Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 A draw would be a good result for us. Spurs looked good today, at least in the first half. I agree with above; set up to counter and frustrate them with a tightly organized defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Next two games could be the key to the season; if you offered me four points now I'd take them but if we could somehow get six it'd really grab peoples attention. We're the form team in the league and have been making up points on everyone bar Chelsea this year but we're still largely under the media's radar. We will win this one if everyone turns up with their A game imo, let's just hope they all do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Everyone seems to be fixated on us catching Man U but the rs have some really tricky fixtures (Arsenal at home, Man C away) coming up. If we can take 7 points from the next 3 games then we will likely play the rs in the 4th game knowing that if we win we will have caught them up.

By the time we play Liverpool I believe it will be to overtake them if we win. We've just got to keep winning our games, that's all we can do!

Aidan Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 We will play 352 at the back with Holgate coming back in, Lookman being replaced by Mirallas and we should nick a point I reckon. Spurs are a quality team who I think will finish 2nd, but I think our defensive ability will worry them a little bit and they will be too scared of getting hit on the counter. 1 a piece with us scoring first is my guess!

brybger Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I think there's still a chance Tottenham is very unstable in 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but we are well within reach to grab 4th. If we can keep the momentum going we will do it. 7th is the absolute minimum at this point. Our midfield is showing consistency, and if Rom can keep scoring then there's no reason why we can't do it.

Guest rusty747 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Agree with all the comments above and it's great to see all the positivity. As Btay rightly says, all we can do is keep our run going. If we do, then I also think we might do better than fifth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cautiously optimistic this time with Koeman but history isn't on our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Play 3 at the back and it them on the break, I think we will give them a good game. My worry is that they are playing very well at WHL, and Kane and Ali are on hot streaks at the moment. I think a draw would be a good result.

Guest rusty747 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Agreed. We need a controlled defensive performance with the side set up to break lightning quick when we get the chance. Seven points from the next 9 sets us up very nicely for the game v rs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
