Tottenham Vs West Brom: Match Thread

[mark87]

Starting fast and getting a goal within 10 minutes is the key, if we can do that then it should deflate them, but we them gotta keep pressing and pressurising them.

Yeah I hope our fans + team don't get too cocky. I expect us to win, but we can't just be 100% certain we're going to thrash them and roll over them.

Yes I agree . There was a huge boost to our fan's confidence after the Stoke 4-0 . This thrashing turned out to be one in a sequence of several for Stoke , so basically it was a win over a team in free fall .

WBA are this season's Stoke of old . We can expect a full bus park along with the usual intensity/violence mix .

In short , everything our team doesn't like .

 

[mickdale]

Don't you mean we did Stoke and sent them reeling into freefall....

I predicted 6-0 against Stoke and if those good for nothing useless can't hit a barn door players had been any good it would have been 6 and not the pathetic 4 they got.

I predict 3-0 and I abhore anyone who has the cheek to think WBA will even get a goal

TTWD

Its crazy that WBA are safe with absolutely nothing to play for yet everyone still expects (rightly so) for Pulis to park the bus.

Yes , and unless the ref goes into the changing rooms pre-match to warn the players against it , we can expect off the scale grappling/rugby at corners/free kicks .

A rocking Lane whatever the result of todays match. I predict some real noise from the fans.

He's been worse for it at WBA than he ever was at Stoke. I really thought he'd turned over a new leaf at Palace but West Brom are a polaroid of anti-football.

No game is in the bag.

Scrabble?

 

[spursram]

Remember that period when we let in a lot of corners. Well we seem to have done better defending them recently. I think that will be key Monday as WBA will definitely target us from those.

Apart from that I think if we take the lead then we should be ok.

Coincided with Wimmer's inclusion I think.
Edit: I mean better defending them.

Despite the today's result, whl needs to be rocking tommorow night.

Can't wait.

I just brought this in here from the front page (where its under a slightly misleading headline) hope thats allowed because its a great preview to Monday night

It lays out how Pulis will play it in horrifying detail

Obviously a massive game in terms of chasing the title, but tomorrow's match also has the potential to be historical in its own right.

With Man City and Arsenal having to play each other, the most points a team finishing in 4th can get will be 71. Barring an unlikely goal difference swing, a win tomorrow will all but guarantee automatic qualification for the CL.

Bear in mind that the maximum number of points for 4th place would involve Arsenal and/or City winning two games and drawing against each other, so there would be no improvement in goal difference for that match. Our goal difference is better than Arsenal's by 15, so unless they win their other two games 7 or 8 nil, they're not going to overtake us.

City would have two games to make up 7 goals (more if we beat West Brom tomorrow night), although this becomes more conceivable because, in order for us to end up 4th if we beat West Brom we'd need to lose our last three games.

Incidentally, a win for us tomorrow would leave United requiring at least 28 goals (and winning all of their remaining games) in their remaining 4 matches in order to finish ahead of us (with us losing our last 3).

In short, win tomorrow and we're in the group stages of the CL next season.

I'll be utterly shocked if it wasn't.

 

[DiscoD1882]

If Arsensl can beat them. We can beat them. Simples.

 

[degoose]

Key is a quick goal. WBA won't be able to sit back super deep as that will most definitely be their plan.If Arsenal can beat them then surely we can as we have a team that's actually working well and are consistently creating multiple chances,

 

[easley91]

Early goal like Stoke or Bournemouth and we'll score more. Even if it's 0-0 into the second half we go up a level in the last 20-25 minutes. Last two games we've scored at least 2 goals in mere minutes around the 70 mark. No panicking in the stands please. Stay behind the lads and push them on.

A point and we secure a Europa League 5th place finish

I'm going today for my first game of the season. Very excited. Going to drive in and dump my car somewhere around bruce grove. What are the odds of my car still being their when I get back?!

 

[SlotBadger]

Absolutely buzzing for tonight. Yes, I want us to win the league but it's been a fantastic season, regardless of what happens. I hope the fans do us proud and sing throughout.
