Match Threads Spurs vs Watford - Match Thread

[Haddock]

I'm absolutely terrified of this match. Watford seem to have it in them to step up their game against the big teams.

As we have discovered once before, earlier in the season, by thunder!

Our defence has looked frail as fuck recently. A clean sheet is almost as important as a win for me here - we seem to have got in to the habit of conceding utterly ridiculous goals.


It'll be a low scoring game, and we'll have most of the possession. I'm going for a 2-0.

Hopefully Dier shows up tonight. He has not looked like himself since coming back.

I'm hoping it's Sissoko and Winks.

Desperately need a win, however we get it I don't care. Hopefully Son is back and we can play him up top. Its worrying we seem unable to keep clean sheets at the moment. In reality it has a Troy Deeney bullying Sanchez left right and centre written all over it

Yep. A win would be a brilliant result given our injuries.

 

[Ekmek]

I'm hoping it's Sissoko and Winks.

Me too actually, just worried about Sissoko. Looks as he gets small injuries all the time, would benefit from some rest.

 

[cjbyid]

Hopefully we see a difference with son up top tonight.

This is going to be a tough one, I'd take any sort of win.

 

[Cruyff]

Very difficult to predict these kind of games anymore as we don't have the dominant central midfield that we had a season or two ago.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

If Llorente starts this game, i'm not watching.

I physically and mentally cannot cope with watching him "play".

He has the work rate of Berbatov and the ability of Rasiak.

I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about this game after yesterdays results, feel like the pressure to get a result is no longer as intense and that will actually mean we play a lot better football.

not sure about that mate. every single game has to be treated as a cup final now given how tight things are getting. even the single game tonight has huge repercussions. win and we're looking good, drop points and we're right back in the shit. think it'll be a real struggle and definitely one where the points are all that matters.

 

[roslau]

Like the pessimism here tonight

Huge game. Performance not important, three points crucial to get us back on track.

I think the lads will be up for it and plenty of them should have been freshened up over the weekend - 3-0 Spurs.

 

[Klinsmannesque]

I get being cautious, but the mood on here makes you think we're getting pumped every week.

We played well 2nd half vs Chelsea, Palace was our 3rd and 4th choice players. Hugo, Toby, Rose, Sissoko, Winks, Eriksen all just had at least 6 days rest, Son is back, Moura has had a game and a half to get his fitness up. Watford will be physical, but we have the tools to do the job.

Different side with Winks, Son and Eriksen in it. The game they had out will help significantly. It's about who plays alongside Harry that is key for me. Probably, on current form and availability it's got to be Sissoko (If match fit). I still think he is below par technically, but he is an athletic monster which fits perfectly. Will help Winks get forward more.

Watford are playing really well at The moment, they work really hard as a unit. But with the three I mentioned back in the side I think we have more quality.

2 CB and standard wingbacks.

Just please no Llorente. Have son up top, with Moura, Eriksen and Lamela behind. I'd even gove Trippier a go in the AMR position with KWP at the back if Lamela doesn't turn up.

Anyway, I fancy a hard fought 1-0. COYS

Anyone not got a ticket yet Poch needs you .

" Then you can see for our fans at Wembley every week that things are going down and down and down because people are disappointed with the situation.
"And of course, that affects the team and everybody. That is why it is my responsibility to be positive and optimistic. My job is to call to the fans to give the last push that we need. The club needs the help of the fans because they are the core and the soul of the club and this is a massive moment.
"I know I can't ask for more, but all together we need the last push to finish in the top four or maybe be a real contender. Then, playing in the Champions League is an exciting moment for the club."

Poch talking yesterday.
