Spurs vs Arsenal Match Thread

3 v 2 in midfield - I hope Poch has his in game tactics mojo working a treat

Eriksen dropped back into a three against Pool - hope he does the same.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Ôtzi, Mktrian and Boomerang, admittedly it's not a bad attacking line-up.

 

[dirtyh]

Coys. That’s all I got.

The movement of Eriksen and Dele centrally should run rings around Elneny and Xhaka (who is particularly dreadful defensively). I like Son up against Bellerin out on the left as well. But yeah, that front 3 of theres is terrifying.

 

[WexfordTownSpur]

Got to admit that line-up makes me nervous. The Goons chewed us up last time by getting at our two centre halves and cutting off our build up form the back. Very much looks like we've gone 4 at the back again. Keep an eye on that situation.

They had Sanchez that day, but I do see what you mean.

Don't see how that makes a huge difference personally, your banking on Arsenal getting their balance right against us and I'm not so sure they will.

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.

Just back from Wexford Town, shopping done plus me €20 meat deal from Doyle's LOL

I'm nervous, I'm a little concerned, but we can win this by being far better organised, consistent and defensively secure. Arsenal can be great on their day with the players they, but with far more regularity their defence, their formation and their attitude can shoot themselves in the foot. Lets hope its one of those days

If the opportunity arises, can you please ask McManaman to stop talking. Like, forever.

A carefully aimed chicken balti pie should do the job...

Maybe on Now TV?

No, Now TV is just sky sports. My BT Sport subscription ended yesterday as I've moved broadband providers . Thanks anyway.

 

[Indisguise]

It's important to win, but it's important to step them winning because they'll get the wind into their sales and believe they can take us and the Bindippers for 4th.

 

[gushayes11]

Same as Liverpool, their front 3 are v good, the rest are pretty average imo.

 

[WexfordTownSpur]

Not sure why saving toby for juventus means that he can't be on the bench. It's unlikely that he'd play but if it came to that then I'd rather toby come on than dier move back there. Doesn't make any sense to me considering he was fit enough to play a full 90 the other day.

To be honest I thought he looked very sluggish against Newport so I’m not surprised he didn’t make the team, but I did think he would make the bench. This worries me, I think if Poch was going to play him on Wednesday he would have been on the bench today! I hate to say it but smells like set back to me!

Still massive queues getting into the stadium

 

[Col_M]

Here I am. COYS

Press, press, press!!

 

[ajspurs]

Am so glad it's finally here! Have had a constant shit on edge for a few days now, I almost just want this done with I've been so stressed.

COYS!
