markjazzbassist Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Spurs are a tough side, Kane is injured but may be back for this one. They are 3 points below us in the league and Mou is coming under fire in the press. We can hope it's a perfect storm with the london derby before this. We have to play our best team and go for it. We beat them earlier in the campaign and let's hope we can do the same here.

Palfy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Spurs are a tough side if you think we are going to beat them by superior ability go with James, but if you think it will take more of battling performance then James shouldn’t be included.

Bailey Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 In my opinion, this is how badly they have been playing most of the season but Son and Kane have been pulling rabbits out of hats to keep them relevant in the league. I looked at the stats in the build up to the Brighton game and they were almost identical for both sides in xG and xGa. The difference between the two is that Brighton have been missing sitters and Spurs have been scoring worldies. It all comes around eventually.

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 With how badly they have been playing, I'm hoping that they see this as nothing more than an inconvenience. Mourinho will be fully focussed on getting their league form on par so that they can hit the Top 4, as I think without it he could be relieved of his duties. It's one thing playing negative football but it's another to do it and not be successful - plus Levy is known for being incredibly ruthless (almost an Abramovich 2.0).

Like the Liverpool fixture, it only takes one chance to score and if they take it... Would be great news for us as it would be (I believe) 4 straight defeats in a row for José.

Palfy Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Do you go with the same starting eleven as the Utd game in the belief the players will show consistency, then if I was Mourinho is that what I would want, he must be thinking about how to exploit our weaknesses on the right, for that reason I would change Holgate for a fit Coleman his experience for this game will be invaluable.

Isaiah Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Yeah, Jose's going to go all out for this. Winning trophies is what he judges himself by and they haven't a hope of winning the premier league, in fact they almost certainly won't make top 4. Spurs haven't won the FA Cup in 30 years and winning it will keep him in the fans' good graces after fucking up their league campaign. Expect a full-strength team from them.

RuffRob Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Spurs are defiantly a different team with Kane playing - so shame he was back at the weekend. I also think Spur will be full strength as will want to take every opportunity to get a trophy. So don't see any weakened team being put out. Spurs are not Man City or Utd - so don't think we should be overly 'shy' playing them, but I also think it has suited us being underdogs in games this season - we seem to be doing better against teams who dominate possession against us and we counter. This seems to be the way in a lot of Premiership games - lots of teams winning but without dominating the ball. The problem with Spur's is they also like to counter attack, and have the players to do it. This season home advantage doesn't exist. It will be a tough game, but a winnable game - the impartial bookies have the game on a knife edge with nothing between the teams. Pickford Godfrey Mina Keane Digne Doucoure Gomes James Gylfi Richarlison DCL Nice to have a bit of a selection headache - as I want all three Mina, Keane and Godfrey in the side (but also think Coleman would do a good job). Only reason for putting Godfrey at right back rather than CB is that he would be far better there than either Mina or Keane. Davies doesn't deserve to be dropped after his best performance in a long while but I also really want Gomes and Gylfi to start as they have both been playing well. I would also like Iwobi to play as I don't want to see his good recent form drop away either. If fact I would be happy with most line ups at the moment - What the fucks happening to this team!!!!

Bill Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 We have to play the best team we can, this is no time to swap and change players or positions. Why play Digne and Godfrey both out of position, Digne is the best full back we have and Godfrey although he is very versatile is right footed. Gomes and James must play if fit so its a case of playing Coleman or Godfrey at RB. Must play the best eleven at this stage of the competition if we want to get through.

One of the good things it we have not become overly reliant on James in the team - He definitely does bring a quality to the play and does add goals and creates big chances. However, other players are also stepping up with an improvement in their quality (Davies against Man U - prime example) - maybe just one of the effects of having James at the club - others simply raise their game, buy training and playing with a player of his quality. I do love seeing him on the pitch though!! as he does things that just put a massive grin on your face Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
