Match Threads Wolves vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 15

[hughy]

Go 1-0 up in the 7th minute and then sit back and hope we don't concede.

Joking, I reckon we'll hit them for 4 or 5. ?

 

[WiganSpur]

If we get 1-0 up Mourinho will park the bus as they're good in transition and he'll gamble on us not conceding 2. Think he would take a point very happily.

3 C B s for me lose a forward, i know its not
Jose way just want to see FBs getting forward and helping MF.With Kane deeper well have 5 bunched with Son the target.

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

Feeling chill about this. Long way to go but think Jose is pinning hopes on a trophy or two this season, this team not being optimised for Jose Ball yet.

 

[Serpico]

Dont like the term must win so we must not lose. We need to shed our latest poor performances and get back to winning ways. A good performance is as important as the 3 points for me at the moment. Play well and we will by default get 3 points, play poor lose.

 

[dickieven]

Just want to see us back to the level of performance we saw against Liverpool and earlier in the season. The Leicester game was on a par with the Everton game at the start of the season so hopefully we can go on a bit of a run again now.

It is so tight that three wins on the bounce and we will be clear in second again probably.

[Timberwolf]

Wolves aren't great at the moment and are definitely a worse side than they were last season. They've lost 3 of their best players in Jota, Jiminez and Doherty (weird, I know) and their only shining lights seem be Neto and an inconsistent Podence.

Nuno's tactical approach is broadly similar to Jose's, prioritising keeping a tight defensive shape over possession, and they're strongest on the break.

I think it could be an interesting, if quite ugly, tactical battle and fingers crossed our superior attacking quality is enough to see them off (it really should be).

2-1 Spurs. Kane brace with one for Podence.

 

[shelfboy68]

From top spot to 8th in two weeks is impressive so we need a win to get back amongst it again.

 

[teedee]

I believe we will win, mainly because Raúl is injured and Jota is now with Liverpool resulting in Wolves having some difficulty finding the back of the net. I just hope we don't play with the negativity of the past couple of weeks.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Hoping for a good performance and none of the individual errors that have cost us recently. Big worry is the amount of games Harry is being asked to play, started last four bound to start today then we have a game Wednesday another on Saturday he needs a break.

 

[Typical Spurs]

I'm normally positive but I've a bad feeling about this game. Honestly don't think we'll win. I've gone for a Wolves win. 3-1 Wolves with a bit of a defensive shambles from us.

Hope I'm wrong. Really feel like we need 3 points here to arrest our form (1 point from last 9). Come on Spurs!!

 

[Serpico]

Weve come a long way this differcult season. I feel we are on the cusp of doing sonething special but lose today and it may unravel, Its that delicate for me. Big game today, we need to make a statement of intent.

We can't underestimate other teams which is something we are prone to doing an example of this is west ham at home.
This season we are seeing teams like west ham and villa who are normally 20 points behind us now are right up our arse.
All these teams have improved so it's important that we get ourselves together and nail down a CL spot this year, a title challenge is off the table right now but top four isn't.

If this Wolves side manages to put 3 past us then I'll be genuinely concerned. They really struggle to create chances and just got ruined by Burnley.

Oh god it's gonna happen isn't it?

At the moment we are right up villa's arse.

There you go then

 

[wiggo24]

Weirdly it's probably a game where we could do worse than sit off a little to create space for ourselves on the counter as I think if we go toe to toe neto and podence will ruin us on the counter.

Not very comfortable about Dier and Toby against all their diminutive little wingers, these types of players have historically been their big weaknesses.

Need to restrict them from having any space, force them wide (as without Jimenez they're not much of an aerial threat) and be super clinical on the counter.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

I dislike kick off being so late, but I guess it's all about recovery and spacing for the other games over the festive period.

Mustn't grumble!!!!

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

If we win today I think we’ll get three points and be closer to the teams we are really close to.

 

[king26]

Think we’ll win this one comfortably. 3-0.

no harm in dreaming
