Spurs (h) build up

[Shaggy]

So it's us v Sherwood

Last two games have seen teams play 5 at the back against us. Sunderland caused us problems breaking them down, and for 45 minutes Cardiff was tough too.

Will Spurs play 5 at the back or is Dim Sherwood too proud and too Cockney to sacrifice his "up and at 'em" philosophy against us?

My Spurs mate reckons they are in a position where they need to attack and says it's "all or nothing" for them. He thinks if they attack us they will have a chance and feels sure Sherwood will think the same.

He actually thinks that

If they attack us and play that high line, we will annihilate them.

Unchanged again for me.

I'd be tempted to start Sterling - perhaps for Allen, and going more 4-3-3 - especially if Spurs come to attack.

Dowd is the ref btw.

I'm ****ting it already. God knows how the players are coping.

[Bender]

Definitely Sterling in ...

Think he'd be up against Naughton who is a bit headless.

I think we were fine until the last 20 minutes. Controlled it, were patient and generally coped well with them. As soon as they had Ki and Johnson on, they started getting men forward and caused us problems. We are fantastic going forward with pace and aggression but when we have to control the tempo of a game, we are still lacking a bit.

[Alex]

How embarrassing

[Pablo]

I think we need to freshen up the team slightly, I'd start Sterling and rest Allen and let's have an all out scoreathon!

Come at me bro, come at me!

i thought we were poor last night compared to some of our other games and again defensively utter **** for their goal and also for their 2nd effort,no man marking at all opposition players free in the box

[Liverpool]

Seriously? Moses? I doubt we'll see him start again ever.

Moses must be pissed off with this season, what a waste for him

[Shaggy]

Who's 'Moses'?

[PTP]

less worried about this game than i was about Sunderland....

if spurs play that laughable high defensive line we'll smash them
