Nah. Went to Swansea once, don't think they could get me to go back even if I was promised the No.9 spot tomorrow and paid both Ade + Soldado's wage packets for the week...
I'm not even sure I can be bothered to switch on the TV and watch it tomorrow, my Spurs spirit is close to breaking point. Bad times. Just about remnants of hope left that this is the game where things turnaround...
It's going to be really interesting to see what Pochettino does. This team needs goals. We are on pace to score about 45 goals, which would be ten less than our goal shy squad of last season.
I'd assume Bentaleb and Mason will start as a CM2, and Kane/Eriksen will also start. But what about the other two attacking positions? I'm assuming everyone will get their wish for Lennon, but you cannot gloss over how he just isn't any sort of goal threat, so if you play the same team as Everton, you can't really be all that surprised if that team doesn't score over 90 minutes barring an Eriksen strike. Poch might drop Soldado for Chadli, but then you have Kane as a lone striker, which he's shown he's not that great at.
If we win, it'll be down to individual brilliance of Eriksen. Hopefully he strikers from distance and we hold out for a 1-0 win.

I think they will attack us which will suit us. I can see us sneaking this.

There is no reason why we can' t pull off a performance as good as the Everton game.

Realistic. Still in transition. Swansea have been much more consistent.

Of course we are still in transition but I can can see a good performance and hopefully a win tomorrow ( but it is Saturday night and I am a little piece drunk, so i might be full of shit )

It's actually not a whole lot better than our home form (one more point from one game less, same GF, more goals conceded). We may have got some results, but we haven't played well.

But we have played city, chelsea, arsenal away and our fixtures at home so far have been relatively kind

We're unlikely to get killed so in going to go for a 1-1

We got the results we should have expected against Villa, Hull and the Spammers, but were you pleased with the performances? Against Sunderland, we were a deal better, but slipped up and threw away two points in a fixture we should have won decisively. We took a point from the Gooners in a bus-parking exercise, but last season we dominated possession and had them under siege (although we were just as wasteful as they were this season).
Paulinho is not fast! In fact his poor touch leads to fast counter attacks plus heart attacks. But he does hit a ball with conviction.
