Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea

[Pistols At Dawn]

Brave and exciting lineup. Lets get at them and give it a go

LOok at Chesea's bench compared to ours, it's like another planet.

Very happy to see Ndombele & Lo Celso starting. That should help us to create more chances, keep the ball better and play in a more positive manner.

COYS

 

[TheTanguy]

Especially with Kanté not fit enough to start for them we've got every chance of beating them at home with this XI. COYS.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

Gone for a score draw, but that's predicated on Dele getting stuck in in the mid

 

[talbot64]

Sky have it as below, Lo Celso as part of the front 3

It is an attacking team but really and ive always said this, its about the tactics that dictate whether we will be attacking or not.

That’s what suga daddy’s give ya

Not sure about Romero instead of an in form Sanchez but alas more of a positive Spurs team which I very much like.

I thought Nuno might go with Romero and Sanchez

Also we have injuries..

Seriously? Is this the time to drop Skipp and play just one holding midfielder, in front of such a fragile defense? Against Chelsea? And start four players who haven't trained with the group all week?
This smells of desperation and anger on Nuno's part. You want open attacking football? Get this XI and see how an opponent like Chelsea destroys us, then get off my back for good. We are losing this anyway.
Not optimistic at all. Hopefully I'm terribly wrong.
Then again, if this works against Chelsea we should play like that each week. I hope it does, on all different levels. Great to see Lo Celso start.

Ain't no pleasing some.
If he plays defensive, he gets grief. If he goes attacking, some still give him grief.

Rather than losing when trying not to, I'd rather lose when trying to win.
Give the bloke a chance and a little bit of credit for picking such a team.

3-0 Kane Son(2)

That will probably how we line up.
I can't see Dele or Ndombele playing out wide.

It will be a lot of work for Hojbjerg.
Not sure I would have picked this game to try this, but we need to give it a few games to see if it works.

This is a very confusing post

I always feel much more confident when Son's playing. Our most important player for me. We can usually make do when Kane's out but when Son is missing we goto pieces.

 

[dondo]

Really surprised at how positive that lineup looks. It could go many ways too;

A diamond with N'Dombele at the tip? 433 with Dele on one of the wings?

I would guess GLC RW

It's the formation that has worked best for us so far. Hopefully it's not a diamond.

 

[hamsup_sotong]

If we lose of course

He is paid millions of pounds to win football matches. With the glory and adulation he gets when that happens he will expect the stick when he doesn't.

This is full strength I’d say?
