Match Threads Spurs vs Wolverhampton Wanderers - Match Thread

[gp13tot]

I won free tickets on Talk Sport for Spurs v Wolves in Dec 2003. We won 5-2 and Keane got a hattrick. Great day. Same score today would be brilliant.

Dalmat was unbelievable that day.

Yes he does it often but not always, remember when Trippier played a couple games in a row when Aurier was injured? Or how Davies has played many back to back games

Both Aurier and Rose have been Injured which is why he couldn't rotste Davies and Trippier.

But KWP wasn’t injured so he could’ve rotated with Trippier but didn’t

Has Gazzaniga taken over as number 2 keeper or is Vorm injured?

Vorm is away to a swinger party

A couple of milestones:

It should have been double that unfortunately.

Vorm is away to a swinger party

Makes sense- he’s good at palming off balls

Fair point but let's be honest he was never playing this match, let's hope he plays against Cardiff - I think he will.

Unsure whether to leave my Wolves defenders in and hopefully take a massive hit or transfer them to Pool defenders and hope then jinx works...

Hopefully, poch's gonna drop eriksen in again in this line-up and use Sissy as he did for the last game to drop deeper, float, hunt and then surge.

If we go straight 4231 he will need to change it imo.

Wolves set up to fight a midfield battle.

Interesting to see how we approach this.

Think it will be a diamond with Dele at the top behind Kane and Son

Would have preferred to have given parrott a spot on the bench rather than gkn, who at the moment, clearly doesnt have a future with us.

That's for reminding other teams that he's alive, hoping someone will come in for him.

Can be a bit of a banana skin, this one.

Agree Poch needs to give
that pair a good rotsteing
occasionally

Never realised Patricio is number 11. Weird.

If it is, and we get too narrow, we'll cause ourselves unnecessary problems.

I agree - Wolves are set-up to play wide.

I hope we are back to a 4231 with Winks and Sissoko in the CM2

Why? If we have the ball in the final 3rd on the left will it matter if they are 3412 or 343? What would be the difference?

What is the difference between 3412 and 343? Can't the "1" run forward or drop deep?

How far forward does the "1" go forward to change the formation?

Just don't get it.

It's the wideness aspect that makes the difference playing 3 up top usually means the 1 occupies the 2 CB and the 2 wide pin the full backs back.

 

[Zippy1980]

I don’t think it will be as fullbacks have no pace.

Do one, poem boy

My stream will probably be a couple mins behind, so i'll leave you to your fun and be back at half time.
