Taking the handbrakes off like you say, is just a disrespect to the quality of the opponents, and who themselves harbour ambitions of winning the title, and also it would be a professional suicide.

Spurs will be measured in their approach, and let Chelsea have the possession, and will try to use Son, Kane and Moura behind their CBs.

I expect mid block and the whole team from defense to midfield to push up and drop deep when needed.

Nothing new there and nothing explosive from Spurs, just measured, and effective plan.

In terms of which scenario I'd take...Scenario 3: Spurs defend, stay deep, let opposition have possession but win the game 2-1

Sorry OP

I actually think Spurs would learn more about themselves if they didn't win in a game like this. Teams grow when they lose, they learn. That may not make sense but sometimes it's about the bigger picture. Imagine if they roll everyone over until February but then suddenly lose to a poor side. Their confidence might disappear because they've not had to learn from the pain etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If Spurs roll everybody over up to February, then you may as well hand them the title. They will have played most of the big boys home and away by the end of February.

I can't see a serial winner like Jose, going into a game to lose the game so that he and the team can learn?

Ok, let's lose this game lads and then we might learn something-- nah, can't see that

No manager (or player) goes into a game to lose, unless they’re part of a betting scam.

Don't think it makes any difference. For as long as I can remember Spurs, in the eyes of the media and their rivals, are simply not going to win the league, under any circumstances.

This is chiseled into stone at the start of every season and never changes as the season progresses.

At this present time, it can ONLY be Liverpool or City, and in previous years it was someone else.

Really doesn't matter how well they play, how strong their squad is, Spurs won't win the league.

I mean, it tells you everything you need to know about their mentality, when every analysis of the Chelsea/Spurs game I have heard on Sky is the same. "This will be a tough game for Spurs"

But never any consideration that this will be a tough game for Chelsea also. In their eyes, Chelsea are under no pressure and this game won't be tough for them.

It's subtle at times, but the simple mentality from these people is that Spurs are always "one step behind the others"

Liverpool are a classic example. They have had two good years, and spent many years before that finishing behind Spurs in the league. Yet Media attitude towards them has always been, their opposition, whoever it is, "will have a tough game" even when the opposition is playing better.

It is interesting that Chelsea are automatically viewed as the stronger team and the faves in this match, despite us being ahead of them after very similar set of fixtures. and having beaten them already.

There's a bit of a love-in with them at the moment, largely because of their English element i think and their perceived style.

Since their bore-fest at old trafford they've changed their formation and have done well but have played no one of quality (all bottom 6 teams). Their confidence is high but Fatfrank will be worried about this game, no doubt.

We're by far the best team they faced since Liverpool in game week 2. It will be a very tough game for both, but lets not pretend FF is not under pressure to show his team can do it vs strong opposition - lets face it Spurs were far from that last season

He's not even fat!
