Welcome to the Spurs Vs West Ham Match Thread! COYS!

See local kick off time

Well, if we show the same composure (Defensively), positive fight, determination and press, creating countless chances as we did against Liverpool (Our Midfield), we should be able to beat the Hammers, taking revenge for them beating us earlier this season when Nunes was in control. With Europe now out of the equation, this is one game we have to win if we stand any chance of winning silverware. this season. Saying that, I have a good feel about this game, COYS!!

Thanks as always @Bulletspur for your detailed overviews.

Think their purple patch against us is finally over now. I'm expecting us to absolutely shit on them to be quite honest.

Who will start,
Skipp or Winks?
Ndombele or Lo Celso?
Reguilón or Sess?
Hojbjerg? Alli?
I think it will be
Lloris
Sanchez Dier Davies
Royal Skipp Hojbjerg Reguilón
Moura Son Kane.

Really like your team DC, but as Hojberg wasn't on bench for Sunday, maybe Conte will ease him in from the bench Wednesday

Good point, so maybe Ndombele with Skipp or he may start Winks? A nice problem to have.

Yep, It's great we have options now, assuming Winks and Ndombele have their mojos back for real ?

 

[Tucker]

Bring it on.

I read that Creswell is available again for West Ham. If they throw him straight in, he's a big threat with his set piece crosses and shots

 

[Cavehillspur]

Really looking forward to this now.

As much as I love Moura, I really hope we stick with 5-3-2 now.

I believe this is our strongest available team with the exception of Hojbjerg, who is just recovering from COVID. Winks proved me wrong on Sunday, so I am sure he is dying to play again just to show that Sunday's performance was not a fluke, so I would have him to start with Hojbjerg on the bench.

Maybe Moura could play in that system. Not the same as Dele, but not so very different.

 

[Huddlebone]

I think Conte played a 3 in the middle against Liverpool to have Ndombele and Alli to help Sess and Emerson to control Mane and Salah, West ham does not have that type of overload on the wings and does not put the same press as Liverpool does, so I think we will move back to a front 3 to be able to have more options in the build-up instead of looking to play on the counter

 

[ShelfWatcher]

It was interesting Austin was on the bench Sunday. I expect and want Lloris to start this one, but am a big fan of Austin and hope he is now our back up keeper
Would like to see him start v Morecambe

WHU are a defensive side (complete opp to Liverpool) and will be more than happy to , counter and or draw/pens. We need to expose them wide as Arsenal had beating them recently. WHU are well organised and need their formation unsettled. Antonio doubled up as RB against Arsenal at times. Wide/get behind the FBs is key- disrupt and cause them chaos. We must dominated the play and not allow them to defend comfortably. Strongest side possible -Lucas to start.

It was more to protect against their world class WBs and play our good strikers against their weak defense. Ndombele and Alli was always trying to close down TAA/AR.

As was hinted at by Claret and Hugh yesterday, there's Covid in the camp at West Ham. Maybe some of the first choice won't be available tomorrow, we'll see.
Besides any positives he might hold a couple back from this game, for fear of a stretched squad over the festive games
As we know once Omicron gets in, can spread fast

Is this the game where Lo Celso will step in.

Everyone else seems to be showing motivation and improvement but Lo Celso has not been fit to get his chance/last chance
