i do think a back five could be the way to go just to make sure we can keep those two in check when we need to

if it's a back four then i'd prefer Tomi back at RB where he can try to contain Son, i don't think Cedric's good enough to stop him

I just hope we go for it like we did against Chelsea and United, if we opt for some kind of containment job like Arteta has tried in big games before, I can’t see it ending well.

Main thing though is to not give them any respect, they’re not worthy of it. It’s one thing being a bit sheepish against City and Liverpool but this is definitely a game where we shouldn’t be afraid to have a go.

Aye. We are going to need to put in a very streetwise performance tonight, everyone is going to need to be on it and we are going to need to defend very well and take any opportunities that come our way.

One area where we can get a foothold on the game is in Midfield with the trio of Elneny, Xhaka and Odegaard. If we can dominate in this area then I am sure we will create plenty of chances on the counter.

Spurs are a decent team, but one area I think they are weak in is Midfield.

Let's just hope that we've learned how to counter attack now then....

I actually thought in our home game against them we did that well. Against West Ham too we moved the ball forward well with pace, we just lack a ruthless striker.

It does seem to be quite hit & miss.

We can do it on our day as we have seen in the past, but often we seem to lack conviction in the final third and the attack breaks down.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for this tonight.

(fuck knows how I will walk and open doors, etc :rolleyes:)
