Of course - we can only but surmise based on the team sheets presented but we can't afford for Dier and Dembele to be overloaded in midfield allowing our defence to be exposed against the pace and wit of Arsenal's front three.

Bypass that though, and we'll undoubtedly cause them a headache but we absolutely need to start as we mean to carry on - no Liverpool/Newport County ambling around.

At Anfield we defended in a 4-3-1-2 shape with Dier covering Trippier, Dembele at the base and Alli covering Davies, in the 2nd half we switched Dele and Eriksen's positions, point is that Liveprool played in a 3 and we were rarely outnumbered in defence.

Just back from Wexford Town, shopping done plus me €20 meat deal from Doyle's LOL
saucy butcher man meself. Everyone is like what are those two on about. Anyway back to the game. If I were in paddy powers today I would go for a win. Not 100% confidence but I think we can do it.

Standard.

But, would that alone make you comfortable with this?

I think they are gonna slip balls in between us all day; turn us round and put us under the kosh and we won't be able to handle it.

Best case scenario for us with this set up is we press like hell in the first 20, grab a goal, rock their confidence, charge up our fans and seek to dominate and ransack from there.

I really don't think we have to duke it out toe-to-toe with them here today, though. Not good for my pants.

Posted something similar above.

Come on...!

This is it..... one of our biggest NLD games in a long time. They love Wembley and think they are at home today, I hope the fans get right behind the team as I am sure they will and we push from the first minute, no silly bookings though.

Gonna be a tough one, much harder than Utd and Pool IMO

COYS!!!!!

Commentator: "Well, you can only really focus on one Tottenham man on derby day - Harry Kane."

No. No you can't. Fuck off.

This is a game for Dele to remind everyone just what a player he is.

Don't want to get into this side-to-side shit. Lots of oppos for penetrative balls there.
