14/1 on the toon to win tonight. All you pessimists should lump on.

 

[roslau]

Not confident to get even a point....

 

[WexfordTownSpur]

Well yeah but I highly doubt it. I know Hudd have something to play for but I can't see them repeating the performance of the weekend. I reckon it's more likely Chelsea will drop points at Newcastle but I still think they'll get maximum points.

I don’t thing Hudd have much to play for tonight, it’s not a must win, sure they would love a point but they don’t have to get it. They only need a point in next two games and there next game is at home v Arsenal. But even if they get no points West Bromwich would need to go away to Crystal Palace and win 5-0 minimum! I think Hudd are safe. And as you said I think Chelski will pick up maximum points from the last games.
So this is a must win for us, bad enough going into the last game needing a point but if we lose tonight I believe we screwed it! Even 3 points won’t do it!
Coys ?

Personally, I'm really happy Sissoko is playing.

 

[slartibartfast]

I do not understand why Poch couldn't play one of Eriksen, Alli or Lamela at CM at home in a game we have to win.

His commitment to brawn in midfield is really frustrating sometimes.

Its whats costing us imo.
Wtf do you need that against teams you know are not going to attack?
Even if you dont know, once its blatantly obvious they aren't interested in coming out of their own half then bloody change it. But we dont.
4 creative players against 11 defenders will obviously struggle.

Yea, not happy with that lineup Poch....

Dark rum and coke and you get a winner.

Whisky, straight, no ice and you get a winner. Ideally Laphroaig.

 

[sparx100]

Underwhelmed that his go to man is sissoko....

 

[Black]

That's what happens when you have 2 first choice mids out injured.

Drop Eriksen back and play Lucas or Lamela ?‍

 

[WexfordTownSpur]

Sissoko over Moura, fuck me.

Fucking knew it Poch was to chicken shit to go with one in the middle. So now we have fuckin Sissoko and Wanyama pissing around in the middle and Lucas on the bloody bench! We really needed to go all out to get an early goal. Bad decision Poch sorry!

 

[WexfordTownSpur]

Drop Eriksen back and play Lucas or Lamela ?‍

Exactly!! Poch has no balls at all.

We could have easily played Wanyama, Alli and Eriksen in midfield.

Alli has played CM for a lot of his career before us, and Eriksen played in a 4-3-3 for Ajax. No reason why we can't set up like that against an inevitable parked bus.

City play KDB and Silva as CMs.

We beat City playing similar last season

 

[Sp3akerboxxx]

In pochs defence he didn't have too many options with winks and dembele out. Plus sissoko is playing against his former side so he might put in a performance

 

[gavspur]

Maybe it is 4-3-3? Vic sitting deep, with Eriksen and Siss just in front?

 

[double0]

Pochettinho can't win whatever line up he puts out someone somewhere won't be happy.

The next two games are on the players 100%. Pochettinho has done wonders as far as I'm concerned, its up to the players now to push on and get that position.

 

[tooey]

What an absolute whinge fest it is already, even more so than usual.

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Sissoko and Wanyama cm pairing is probably the worst I have seen at Spurs for a while.

Pre injury Wanyama of course is great. Since he's been back he's been a shadow of his former self.

In fact I would probably swap Sissoko with Trippier (push Trippier further forward) and drop Eriksen a little deeper.

Actually I wouldn't play Sissoko in the first place.

Hope Kane, Eriksen and Alli turn it on today

 

[Phomesy]

Everyone losing their shit over the line up.

Bodes much better than last match where we all jizzed our pants at Poch’s team selection

 

[spurs_girl_tasha]

So many people wearing shorts, they gonna be so cold later

We did that on Saturday didn't we?
