Perhaps the trickiest fixture of the season now. Away to a side with away wins at Chelsea & Liverpool and a home win against Arsenal. Coming off a potentially confidence shattering loss to Chelsea and the Arsenal game this weekend. Losing today would make the weekend’s Arsenal game a very nervy affair.
Win today and it might be St Arsenhole's day, or it will be if we beat them on Sunday. If the players care about nothing else, let that do the trick.
First 11 except for Danny Rose. The best goalie, 3 complementary centre halves at the back, proper wing backs, 2 tough as nails midfielders and a brilliant creative front 3. If we put Lamela, Winks and Davies on the bench for Sissoko, N'koudou and maybe Wimmer, this squad is superb.
Like Lazy Assed Assassin said, this is a very tricky fixture. With all due respect to Man City/Arse, Saturday's game was the real FA Cup Final. Previous Spurs sides don't win today. Let's see how this one responds.
that's 2 crosses now, one by walker one by wanyama, that not only didn't beat the keeper but didn't beat the endline
wanyama and dembele off, son and sissoko on at half that pretty much tells how Poch felt about the half. Dembele did look like he had a bit of a limp near the end of 1st half
well on that corner, every single spurs player moved away from the ball instead of towards it... sigh
lol palace complaing the corner kick isn't being taken exactly from the corner line. 45 seconds wasted for an inch.... thanks
Let's give Pochettino some credit for going for the win. Big question mark over the double sub at halftime, seeming to cede the middle, against a team that has beaten Chelsea, Liverpool and l'Arse recently. Sissoko stepped up to the enforcer role. Gritty, very un-Spursy win.
