Cant see a 0-0, Arsenal really need a win to keep pressure on Liverpool and Spurs need a win and winning tonight would be a huge lift

As for the score I have no idea but feel there will be goals, could be a scoring draw but despite the players Spurs have missing if they can click they can win, should be a tense affair.

yes, can't see it being 0-0

It will be yet another difficult one to take on the heart

this is Spurs you know!

Someone just asked a good question on Talksport just now. Who is under pressure more? Ange or Legoboy?

Yeh, what i think we can all agree on is that there will heart in mouth moments tonight, most likely for both teams, neither are fully flying or on 100% form but as said both need a win for differing reasons, can see a possible red card for one of the teams, that could make it eve tougher for whoever gets it

Can see Richarlison getting a red on his return game. He has a short fusean Gabrielle, his Brazil teammate, knows this and willl be looking to lighten this!

Feeling this will be a dirty, broken rythm and dark tactics, specially from Farsenal, where diving, going doing, wasting time and trying to get opposition players sent off, that kind of game.

Farteta, also play acting, running out of the tech area, and challenging every decision.

The beautiful football that Farcenal play

Same approach as the Liverpool LC..... Stay in the game, No need to try and win 5-0 or put the game to bed in the 1st 20 mins and ware ourselves out. Arsenall are struggling for goals so don't give them opportunities with stupid mistakes. We will create chances, we always do.

We need to be disciplined, protect our back 4 & Compete in Midfield

Of course, Kinsky as keeper?

The defense has kept oppositions out in the last two games, one of which was on the most potent attack,so I think Archie and Dragusin building some solid partnership, may even keep out Romero and VDV

In the midfield, Bergval and Biss seem to produce some results for us and look good.

I generally agree with the approach but I also think we need to play our natural game. I think the Arsenal crowd are ready to turn if they struggle against us. Parking rhe bus will ask for problems so we still need to be aggressive, without over committing.

Not sure richy will get more than 20 minutes . He'll do well to get sent off in that time

Any news on the sick notes? I hear Richy could be available!

Not suggesting "Parking the bus"... Just being more selective as to when the MF Presses (leaving space behind for them, they are capable of playing around/ through the press and for the FBs to be more conscious of being too far up the pitch without the pace of VDV to cover for them.... I thought we dialed it back just the right amount Vs Liverpool and I think it would be the right approach tonight. The longer Spurs stay in the game, the more frustrated the crowd might get knowing they have been short of goals. If the game gets stretched late on there's more opportunity to bring on someone with pace like BJ.... Just seems a smart tactic against decent teams away from home..... a point would be a great result...... 1-1
