Spurs Away

[Matt]

Twatenburg is the Ref for this game :shaking fist:

oh joy... I'll just go and change my prediction then...

[bluenosetoffee]

I would play Mirallas up front again.... I understand people's frustrations with this but he was offside a billion times on Saturday.... This was due to him doing what weve been crying out for our strikers to do, make the run in behind.... If he's offside 99 times there will always be that 1 when the flag doesn't go up and he will be good enough to put it away.... We then have naismith to be impact sub again.... Plus spurs won't defend with five at the back like villa and will have fullbacks bombing forward.

 

Why didn't we keep hold off Jelavic then....Last season he had a lot offsides.......If he played all season he would have got the trophy

[Aidan]

................Howard................

Coleman Jags Distin Baines

...........Barry McCarthy.........

McGeady...Barkley..Pienaar

................Mirallas................

 

That is if Barkley, Coleman and McGeady are fit to start...

I think Naismith would be much more useful as a super sub, and Mirallas will score goals up front, hes a natural striker not a winger.

[jofanon]

I'd start with Naismith up top with Miralles. Super Kev was isolated for large parts of the game until Nais came on.

[MikeO]

Spurs are much better away than they are at home this season....record at WHL is 5/3/4 with a -4 goal difference. They've only beaten Palace, Hull, Stoke, Norwich and Swansea. We should win this.....and will do quite comfortably if we turn up. 1-3 for me.

[bluenosetoffee]

This is the biggest game so far for us. If we win then 4 points above 6th place and if Liverpool lose against Arsenal then 1 point ahead of them. A BIG game! All IFS and BUTS though. If we turn up on the day and play are game then yeah can see us getting something but if we turn up like we did against West Brom, Liverpool and Villa in the first half then we will have difficulties.

[Guest blueboy122]

Important thing to remember is to concentrate on our result and not be bothered about other teams. Full focus needed at the lane

[NYBlue]

I hate Spurs, no logical reason for it so this is one of the games I look for when the fixtures are released. I think it would be better to leve Naismith on the bench and use him as an impact sub. Hopefully Kev will now just start scoring for fun with his confidence sky high.

Tottenham Hotspur host Everton at White Hart Lane on Sunday 9th February 2014 (KO 13:30) in the 25th round of Premier League matches of the 2013-14 season.

Spurs come into the match in 6th place in the League on 44 points, while Everton are in 5th place on 45 points. This will be the 173rd time the two clubs have met.

The first meeting came in April 1897 in an end of season friendly match at Tottenham Marshes which Spurs won 2-1. Everton were founder-members of the Football League and had just finished 7th in the First Division while Spurs were in the Southern League and had finished 4th.

A further friendly was played at Goodison Park on New Year's Day 1902 which Everton won 3-1.

The clubs' first competitive match came in the old First Round (today's Third Round) of the FA Cup in February 1904 at Goodison Park which Spurs won 2-1 with a Vivian Woodward goal and an own goal from Everton's Balmer.

Both clubs embarked on a central European tour in the summer of 1905 an met twice with Everton winning both matches 2-0 in Vienna and 1-0 in Prague.

A second FA Cup meeting came in January 1908 with Spurs losing 1-0 at Everton.

At the end of that season, both Spurs and Everton set sail for a tour of South America and played two exhibition matches in Palermo, Argentina with the first game drawn 0-0 and Everton winning the second 4-0. On the voyage home, Spurs 'borrowed' the ship captain's parrot who lived happilly for a decade at the Tottenham offices in the High Road until it dropped dead the day news came through that Arsenal had stolen Spurs' First Division place in 1919.

The first Football League meetings came in the First Division in the 1909-10 season with Everton winning 4-2 at Goodison and Spurs winning 3-0 at the Lane.

The clubs then met regularly in the First Division up to season 1927-28 with eight wins for Spurs, ten wins for Everton and eight matches drawn.

The only League meetings between the two clubs outside the Top Flight of English Football came in season 1930-31 in the Second Division with Everton winning 4-2 at Goodison Park and Spurs winning 1-0 at White Hart Lane.

The clubs met for two more seasons in Division One before the outbreak of World War Two with a win apiece and two games drawn.

Spurs won a 3rd Round FA Cup tie 3-0 at home in 1934 and a 5th round tie at home in 1937 4-3 after a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

The first meeting after WW2 came in the FA Cup 5th Round at Goodison Park in February 1950 with Everton winning 1-0.

Spurs regained their First Division status in 1950-51 and did the 'double' over Everton on their way to the first Football League Championship won by Tottenham Hotspur with a 2-1 away win and a 3-0 home win. Everton lost their First Division place that same season along with Sheffield Wednesday, while Chelsea escaped the drop on goal average.

Everton were back in the First Division for the 1954-55 season and the clubs have met in the Top Flight for every subsequent season to date, except for 1977-78 when Spurs dropped down to the Second Division for one season.

Bill Nicholson's first game as Tottenham's manager came at White Hart Lane in October 1958 and Spurs were 6-1 up at half-time and went on to beat Everton 10-4.

A League game at White Hart Lane in December 1969 was abandoned due to floodlight failure after 29 minutes.

The two clubs met in February and March of 1986 in a competition called the Screen Sport Super Cup, which was introduced to give teams who would have qualified for the European competitions some compensation, as English clubs were banned from Europe. The first match at White Hart Lane ended goalless while Everton won the return leg 3-1.

The only Football League Cup meeting between the clubs came in the Fourth Round in October 2009 with Spurs winning 2-0 at the Lane with goals from Tom Huddlestone and Robbie Keane.

Both Tottenham Hotspur and Everton were founder-members of the Premier League and are two of the seven clubs who have been ever-present for the entire 22 seasons of the competition, along with Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

Spurs have taken more points off Everton in the Premier League than from any other opponent. The 73 points won by Spurs against Everton in the 43 matches played to date gives an average of 1.7 points won per game.

The 2010-11 meetings in the Premier League only yielded one point for Spurs, which came in a 1-1 draw at the Lane in October 2010. The reverse fixture in January 2011 was won 1-2 by Everton. The Toffees' goals were scored by Leighton Baines at Spurs and Louis Saha & Seamus Coleman at Goodison Park. Rafael van der Vaart scored both Spurs' goals that season.

Spurs' home game last season was re-arranged from the opening day to January 2012 due to rioting in the Tottenham area. Spurs won the match 2-0 with goals from Aaron Lennon and a belter from Benoit Assou-Ekotto. During the January transfer window, Spurs signed Everton's French striker Louis Saha while Steven Pienaar moved in the opposite direction on loan until the end of the season. The match at Goodison Park in March 2012 was won 1-0 by Everton when Nikica Jelavic scored his first goal for the club in the 22nd minute.

During the Summer of 2012, Everton re-signed Steven Pienaar from Spurs on a permanent basis.

Everton won the fixture at Goodison Park in December 2012 with two very late goals in injury time from Steven Pienaar and Nikica Jelavic after Clint Dempsey had put Tottenham ahead after 76 minutes. The return game at White Hart Lane in April 2013 finished in a 2-2 draw. Emmanuel Adebayor put Spurs ahead in the first minute but Phil Jagielka leveled things after 15 minutes. Everton took the lead with a Kevin Mirallas goal after 53 minutes and Gylfi Sigurdsson scored for Spurs with three minutes remaining.

Everton & Spurs drew the Premier League match in November 2013 at Goodison Park 0-0.

Overall, Spurs have won 61 of the 172 matches played so far with Everton winning 59 and 52 matches drawn.

Lawro's Prediction for Tottenham Hotspur v Everton (Sunday 13:30 GMT)

Everton passed another test last week when they came from a goal down to beat Aston Villa, especially after the way the Merseyside derby had gone so badly for them a few days earlier.

If the Toffees' season was going to collapse, it would have happened last weekend, so I was really impressed with the way they responded.

Tottenham also bounced back from their midweek battering by Manchester City with a draw at Hull.

This is a big game in the race for fourth place and it is imperative for Spurs that they try to turn Everton over.

I am pretty sure they will have a go at them.

Lawro's prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Everton


Lawro's 2013-14 Predictions

[EvertonianFL]

Everton 2, Tottenham 1. Coleman makes a return to the starting XI with a goal and surprise assist to Naismith. Soldado for Spurs

[Paul 1300]

We are gonna tear your defence to pieces because this season we have been scoring for Fun

 

 

Hang on .............

 

We are at home so Tottenham Hotspur (Suvern Cockney Scumbags) 0 Everton ( Northern Scouse Nice people) 5 or maybe 6

interestingly we have played 3 teams at home from the north west Liverpool scored 5 Man city scored 5 or was it 6 I don't know, I had put my foot through the screen by the time the 4th went in, and Moyes's United who failed to score.

 

So it looks good for your boys on Sunday, mind you Sandro the Beast will be back, as will Vertonghen, Soldado is £28.5 million piece of shit who couldn't score in a cheap brothel in Clacton on rainy tuesday night.

 

Good luck to you and lets pray that we both come out injury free ( and a Spurs victory) I think 4th will be Liverpools (we call them the Bindippers)

[Paul 1300]

Will be a tricky game but I believe we have enough to beat them at the lane. The real threat is Erikson he's the one that makes things happen for Spurs.

 

Will be interesting to see the battle between Dembele and McCarthy.

 

Would love Dembele here.

 

Will Lacina Traoure be on the bench?

Dembele's Injured Sandro and Paulinho should start, but my feeling is Bentaleb will start who's not bad

[THFC6061]

Dembele's Injured Sandro and Paulinho should start, but my feeling is Bentaleb will start who's not bad

 

Bentaleb has just decided to declare for Algeria and he should feature in their next friendly in March.

 

After that, there's a very good chance indeed that he could feature at the FIFA World Cup Finals in Brazil this summer.

 

Pretty good going for a lad who was playing for our U21s before Tim Sherwood was appointed manager in December.

[Guest blueboy122]

Dembele's Injured Sandro and Paulinho should start, but my feeling is Bentaleb will start who's not bad

Good for us bad for you.

 

How do you rate Dembele?

 

I think he is superb an outstanding midfielder.

[Guest blueboy122]

Or should I say magnificently phenomenal...

[Paul 1300]

Dembele is an enigma he seems to drift past players at will, but does not deliver consistently enough to be great. He is big and strong with a great left foot he could be the complete midfielder, but he mis-times his tackles constantly which means he gets booked a lot, for a big lad he does not win that much in the air, he rarely delivers an incisive pass usually looking to pass wide, frustrating because he does have so much ability, and I wish he would shoot more

[MC11]

I've got a massive feeling that the 6ft 8 traore will feature.

[Hafnia]

I've got a massive feeling that the 6ft 8 traore will feature.

 

I hope so. Potentially last 20 minutes when they are tired.

[Matt]

Or should I say magnificently phenomenal...

[Matt]

 

I hope so. Potentially last 20 minutes when they are tired.

with Gerry coming one for 20 mins to give them another headache

[Guest blueboy122]

Hopefully the game will be over by then... It will be nice to have options on the bench again!

 

Will Mcgeady play?

[verreauxi]

Spurs website says Dembele will play. Bad for us, as when he's on, he can be pretty comandeering...hopefully he'll be off.

[Paul 1300]

No disrespect but even with out Dembele I feel our central midfield pairing is better than yours we have Paulinho, Bentaleb, Capoue it's our full backs and up front where we struggle, so I predict that your defence will be quite, but how you get at the back four, west ham played over the top and through the middle which worked, City gave Walker and Rose a torrid time which worked, if penis plays then he'll have a good game against walker

 

Tough game to call 0-0 at goodison and either side could have won it in reality I'll go for 2-1 Spurs

Better than McCarthy,barry and Barkley? Sorry don't agree with that

Thank fuck for that

[Paul 1300]

Of course you wouldn't, you know Evertons Midfield better than me, but a fulll Brazilian international, a Belgian international , and young lad that since his debut in December has the best passing and tackling stats in the league suggests that our midfield are no slouch's, its other areas that let us down and where you have to exploit

[Guest]

Tomorrows game was always going to be massive but for a different reason now. We need three points not one. If we get the win it's a big statement and with players back it could set us up on a good run

[MC11]

Your midfield is average. No stand out players at Spurs anymore. You've got a couple of big names like Eriksen but other than him I don't fear Spurs anymore. Very misjointed side. I reckon we'll win convincingly.

Spurs have greater quality in depth than we can dream of.

As a pairing it's hard to look past McCarthy and Barry, but Spurs haven't established their best match yet due to injuries. I'd have Paulinho and Sandro at Everton in a heart beat.
