on yet another away win, and with an increasingly unprecedented injury list, especially on the attacking front, what is the way forward?
The immediate game this coming week is the semi-final against Chelsea requires maybe not a gung ho approach, but a very, very solid defensive display to progress to the final. Yesterday the defence was far from solid, and it needs to up its game considerably to progress midweek. A win is not required, all Spurs need to do is tough it out for a draw, which will mean none of our defenders can have anything but an `A` game, and maybe even try to nick a goal on the break.
Looking further forward, Spurs would probably be going with the squad players against Palace in the Cup anyway, from today gives nearly nine days until the next Prem game with Watford, surely players like Moura and Sissoko will be available by then. Thereafter Dele should be fit again, and then Son will be shortly returning. Obviously a short term loanee may be of some help. But simply cannot see Spurs buying any players just for the quick fix.
It is a testament to how good the squad is that despite all the injuries all season, yesterday they have recorded their 11th Prem away win from 13 matches, just simply sensational away form, and the best in the league. Brilliant. Unbelievably only six away games to play now.
Although I was far from happy with the performance yesterday, we must all stick with the team, get behind them, and try to get them over this very, very difficult period. Good to see Poch as well very professional in not running up and down the touchline or running on the pitch, when Winksie scored the winner, what a credit to our club. Absolute Professional behaviour from our manager. Remember still 3rd and in every cup competition, and the new stadium imminant, how good is that. Absolutely nothing to moan about really. Sure we all have our moans from time to time, that is what being a football fan is all about. But lets be honest 98 per cent of all clubs in the leagues are worse off than Spurs.
COYS Onwards anjd upwards. We can do this.
Right, now the dust has settled

If you play a 3 at the back why not put Davies in , Toby, vertonghen, Davies, safer bet I think

Not a bad shout actually, Davies is solid defensively and that means we could push Rose up and have him attacking.

Yeh I was pretty gutted about that, it closed last June so we just missed it. Did you do one of those Phi Phi boat trips that takes you to the little remote Islands like Monkey Beach?”
Yes mate we diddid monkey island. Speaking of monkeys, I got robbed by a monkey in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. Walking up the steps to the Batu caves with the can of sprite in hand and this monkey stopped on the stairs infront staring a mud hole through me. I literally through my can to him and he picked it up and ran away

We were warned not to take food onto Monkey Island as they can be brutal when it's about.

Chelsea play a 433 formation. So they’ll be 3 players to watch
