Spoiler alert: There's a match at the Lane tomorrow!!!

Really, there is! I still look for when we play the Goons when the fixtures come out every August and this one is a biggy. They all are of course but it's been a long time since this match has been played with both teams chasing the title.
It's possibly the most hyped up NLD for years. Every paper, news channel, sports channel is talking about this game. In some sections of the media, you could be forgiven for thinking that the game will decide the destiny of the title. It won't, but it may certainly provide a springboard for the final 10 games of the season.

Arsenal are on a 3 game losing streak, whilst Spurs have been in great form but were battered and bruised at West Ham in midweek. References to 'disaster' and 'worrying signs' were wide of the mark. Some even described a 'disgraceful' performance but that was just ridiculous.

What we missed was Dembele and Alli and Kane was certainly fatigued. Alli looks certain to start with Dembele still touch and go. Dembele's strength has been pivotal to Spurs efforts this season and his return would be most welcome.

Spurs have bounced back from their other league defeats the season and I think we will do so again tomorrow.

Possible line up:

Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Rose, Dier, Alli, Dembele, Lamela, Eriksen, Kane.

As ever, Come on you Spurs!!!

 

A three-game losing streak will be turned into a five-game losing streak if we succeed - and yes, I can count!
Amazing that the ManU home page, more commonly known as the Daily Mail football page, had this game as their first article.
We may have lost on Wednesday, but let's be fair, WH levelled the playing field by digging it up.
Starting line up looks okay except for Lamela - he lost the ball nearly every time he touched it Weds. Stick in Chadli, even though guilty for the goal in that he needlessly gave away the corner Weds, and play him up front with Kane in the no. 10 role, where he is more influential in my humble opinion.

 

Need a big performance from all and especially Kane who has looked off the boil last few games and this is where we needed another striker/option to keep him and our attack fresh.
Luckily unlike Wet Sham Scum don't have much physical presence so we shouldn't get roughed up like we did.
We need a performance like last season with all the team giving a 100% and a win no matter what attitude.
Would be a perfect time to shatter what little confidence the Scum have got but I've been a Spurs fan/sufferer too long to think we're gonna make it straight forward.

 

I agree with lineup, although Lamela may be tired after running like headless chicken on Wed. Still he is the better option than Son who is less experienced when it comes to playing w/o ball.
Mask made Kane timid, he is no Zorro with it. I would actually sit him for the first period and get Son in to start as a striker (no defense to worry), but I would not insist. COYS!!!!

 

Agree with the line up but I don't dembele will be risked.. Leave Kane out of a NLD are you mad hahaha

 

I'm feeling the nerves this morning, not going to lie!

We can absolutely do this today and we must start Dembele (even if he is only 80% fit) and Alli.

Although I don't like the term, it is about "game management" today. Out of the blocks form the off, in their faces, concentrate (esp. on set pieces), take our chances and keep calm - we need to keep all 11 on the pitch!

A defeat isn't an option, a draw would be acceptable. But a win would be huge; go top and the Foxes face a tricky trip away to the hornets.

All to play for!

COYS

Lets gest a goal

 

Typical NLD we boss it and go in 0-1 down.

Infuriating!

 

Yep.

Disappointing result given we went 2-1 up... Let's hope Manure don't win otherwise they will be closing the gap on us. I hate March.

Oh well - the positive, we didn't lose (I suppose)!

 

Alright, immediate reaction: should have killed the game at 2-1.
Lloris should do better with Sanchez' equaliser
We didn't exploit the fact that they had 10 men - usually, you look to keep the ball, stretch the opposition and tire them out. They saw probably more of the ball from 70 mins +.
Also think Lloris should do better with Ramsey's goal, but less blame on this - just acknowledge a good finish and move on.
Great finishes from Kane and Toby too.
Bit worrying that Leicester can go 5 points clear, and managing EL now becomes key. Let's have a real good go at the rest of the games!

Also, when was the last time we honestly should have beaten the scum home and away in a season?
