Wainy316 Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 Even if we weren’t in absolutely dire form it’s Spurs. Loss. 2
One For The Road Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 This season is bonkers. Who knows. We may well lose but I wouldn't be falling off my chair if we nicked it. Hope to see Jack start and maybe we can try not to score first, as it's doing us no favours lately.
VillaChris Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) 3-0. Son and Bale switching sides every 5 minutes to keep AEM active isn't going to be a pretty watch. Would be half tempted to put Konsa out there if Mings is declared fit. Edited May 16, 2021 by VillaChris
AntrimBlack Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 We've no chance in this one. 49 is our lot for this season, I confidently predict. A good season overall, but vaguely disappointing considering our amazing start. 1
Mantis Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Can't wait to play really well in the first half and then just collapse in the second half. 3
BOF Posted May 17, 2021 Moderator Posted May 17, 2021 At least I don't have to go into this one with any kind of hope or expectation.
Ouchmefoot Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 On recent form, I reckon 1-0 up at half-time, 3-1 loss But if Jack, Tyrone and Matty C are all fit then you never know. Our midfield needs to be more solid so that Jack can receive the ball in the attacking third rather than having to sit deeper and deeper to get any kind of possession. SJM and DL are brilliant at times but consistency over 90 mins is rarely there. Now that top half is not gonna happen, I hope that he plays Chukwuemeka for the last 30 mins or so, rather than throwing on the same three strikers with no-one to get the ball to them.

useless Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Spurs have recently lost to Leeds and dropped points against Newcastle and Everton. If those sides can get results against them we certainly can. 1

It's a long time until the FA Youth Cu final, so I'd be tempted to give Kesler a go in this one. Yes, it'll be exceedingly difficult to be up against Son or Bale, but they might be on half-gas and really you're only going to come up against good wingers in the PL anyway. Elmo could come back for the Chelsea game if we want to give him a send-off. Obviously we won't do that though. 1
The Fun Factory Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 Our form v Spurs is getting to United and Man City levels. I can only think of about 1 win under tactics Tim in the past 10 years. Before that we used to beat them regularly. Its almost like we have gone in polar opposite directions as clubs ever since until this season. 1

If those sides can get results against them we certainly can. We played them 3 days after they lost to Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 in comical fashion and aside from o.k first 10 minutes and decent last 10 never laid a glove on them in the 70 minutes between and they ended up comfortably winners. Son and Bale didn't play that night either. We seem to have got it in our heads that Spurs are an impossible team to beat (not helped by the ridiculous late goals we let in v them last season from defensive errors) so it's like a mini Man United, loads of other teams can get points off them home and away but we can't. Given this will be likely Kane's final home game for them, I can see him going mad and scoring 4 goals or something. To say I'm not confident is an understatment. 1
chappy Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Have two away games against the same side in consecutive seasons ever felt this far apart?! 1 1
OutByEaster? Posted May 18, 2021 Moderator Posted May 18, 2021 Spurs are worried about a pretty heavy protest at this one - especially now that Harry Kane has said he's leaving. I'm not sure that'll have much effect on the pitch, but hopefully e get in and out and get the game done okay.
