Really hope Dier is back, perfect game for him.

As much strength and fight as possible we should be good enough to score if we match their fight. Against most teams I would have Reguilon, Lo Celso for Sissoko and probably Lucas on the right after midweek but we know we are going to have to battle for the right to play and win the aerial contest hence heads bricks Rodon.

Spurs right now remind me of that Firmino meme from a few years back...

No look goals are so damn cringe. Only one player can get away with it and that was Ronaldinho.

 

[Bulletspur]

Go there expecting to win and not prepared to battle...another story.

Nail on the head! So many times it seems as if we turn up and expect to win games, without putting in the effort.

 

[Monkey boy]

Any news on their injury front?

11 goals in 2 away league games. Surely we're not drawing a blank here...

 

[teok]

Really looking forward to this.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Huge game. My biggest concern is they haven't won a league game yet this season but on the flip side Lawro has backed them to beat us tonight.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Thought he had looked bright in the last couple of sub appearances.

Definitely a breakdown between management and Dele.

Sadly with a more or less fully fit squad he'll miss out more often than not in the league now. It's up to him to use his Europa league appearances to convince Mourinho he's worth another chance.

 

[Johnspur]

Really need to win this and the next couple of league games. It's probably already been mentioned several times on the forum already, but we have a nightmare set of league games between late Nov - late Dec.

Manchester City (H)
Chelsea (A)
Arsenal (H)
Crystal Palace (A)
Liverpool (A)
Leicester City (H)

I put home and away...though not sure how relevant home and away is anymore!!

He backed man utd to beat us too.

 

[cider spurs]

Haven't they got a few injuries to contend with. Read that they might be struggling at RB.

Sonny.

We will no doubt offer them up a chance or two, but I'm of the thinking that we'll have more than enough going forward to get the needed 3 points.

Similar outcome would be nice.

Any news on their injury front?

Just had a look. Mee still ruled out with long term injury, Bardsley out due to self isolation, Jack Cork and Erik Pieters also most likely missing.

So mainly defensive troubles.

It might look a nightmare on paper but the way those teams are playing at the moment I'm only worried about the Liverpool game and they are not at their best either.

He did okay but it is more of a question who to leave out instead?

Kane, Son and Bale are dead certs when fit. Lucas and Vinicius should have secured their spots with their performance on Thursday. Then there are Bergwijn and Lamela who I expect battle it out for the last spot on the bench.
Not to forget Lo Celso and Ndombele, who should also be heavily involved.

Curious how Mou will pick the team. A win would be very important to keep the good feeling going.
