GlobalVillan Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Here we go again. Another one of the sky6 and another opportunity to be more than valiant losers. Surely Ings deserves a start ahead of Watkins in the most obvious potential change. Other than that Cash has to come back in and we can only hope Emi is back and ready Still, can't see anything more than a other narrow defeat here, as we always seem to away to this lot. Hope for a 1-1 but think they may just edge it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Emi back makes the back 4 better and obviously the keeper better. Mginn out and emi b Donker and Ramsey in watkins gets 60 minutes to prove himself he deserves to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I'd be delighted with a point - I can't remember us beating Spurs away in the league aside from a 1-0 win in the Tim Sherwood era when Benteke scored the goal and possibly during the Ron Atkinson and John Gregory eras but they may have been cup games? The collapse when we were 4-1 up during MON's time in charge being a particularly painful stand-out. They have been the comeback specialists this season as well so even in the unlikely event we find ourselves with a good lead I will still be twitching nervously in the away end! How many penalties will Kane fire past Martinez with ease do we reckon? Expect a role-reversal from the World Cup! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Wright and Dion Dublin scored 2 of them I think. I also recall a 5-2 win there with Cyrille Regis getting the 5th. Must have been early 90's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Kane will play through balls for Son to run onto I guess. If we defend like we did yesterday we have no chance against those 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wict01 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 If we give up as many chances as we did in the first half yesterday, Kane and Son will murder us. Remember everyone wanking themselves silly over the first half at villa park last year when we lost 4-0 - anything better than that please!

Follyfoot Posted December 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2022 Remember winning 2-0 down the Lane late February with Sticks scoring and we went five points clear at the top of the league, everyone coming out was convinced we were going to win it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many penalties will Kane fire past Martinez with ease do we reckon? Expect a role-reversal from the World Cup! We actually won there in 20/21, really good 2-1 win and performance. I remember afterwards the Spurs fans were booing them on their quick lap of the pitch, Kane was in tears as he thought that was his last home match before moving to Man. City and we had Grealish back after his injury lay off and he pulled the strings effortlessly. After that game we were only 3-4 points off them so shows the fine margins we lost our game changer and they just about held on theirs and now they're back to being 15-20 points ahead of us which is frustrating. Would gladly take a point. Since 2010 our record has been abysmal v them. Even when we play well like that 0-4 game in April we miss some ridiculous chances and they kill us on the break, expecting the same on Sunday tbh and a 2-0 defeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he set up a couple of Son at VP in April. Konsa was laughable that day in terms of challenging for headers and tracking runs so they will target him again and can see Mings getting pulled out of position to cover and that will free up space for Kuluveski to drift inside on the other side of the pitch. With them being very physical in central midfield it's just a very difficult match up for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may get something but, as the bookies will also tell you, Spurs are red hot favourites for this and rightly so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
