Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Stephen Gibson]

I want to moan about the midfield but in reality there isn't a single combination i will ever be happy with given the players we have. It was crap last game, will be crap today & will most certainly be crap next game too.

 

[Connor]

I think it might be:

Davies
Gomes Sigurdsson
Iwobi Richie
DCL

 

[bluebud]

Baningime the only CM on the bench, might see some minutes tonight

I really hate Sig on the left but at least the bench looks a little stronger. Maybe it’s a 4-5-1 in reality with Richy shifting wide?

I reckon he will move between 433 and 451 as you say. His tactical setups are a real joy to watch. The aim ultimately to deny them time and space in central midfield and pull their central defenders out of position.

Can’t remember the last time I was this nervous about a game.

Massive three points at stake.

I am going to take one for the forum again.I have never watched us live since the restart (due to the missus with remote) I have it on catchup when she goes to bed.IN 50 MINS ,I will occupy myself around the house and read your posts.I am not jinxing us.If we lose,I will be bladdered.If we win,it will be the same ,just at 3 am

Everton to win!!!

Baningime the only CM on the bench, might see some minutes tonight

Absolute bare bones. Says if all that our choices are him or Davies

 

[blue to the bone]

1.1. Dcl

 

[Noble Savage]

Adaptive tactics , how novel .

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Bergwijn not starting.

Good.

 

[BillBrasky]

Playing for 0-0, with the remaining fixtures being nice maybe not the worst idea

 

[Eggs]

Like a few have already said, looks like we’re set up to contain. Playing very narrow.

There’s a few formation options with that XI and more with the couple of subs we have worth a carrot so looks a bit “suck it and see” from Carlo.

...which is fine but doesn’t leave much scope if we concede first, especially if it’s early.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Dier at centre-back? I'm starting to feel better about this game!

 

[Abraders]

We can do these coyb

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

You'd like to think it's some other formation than 442. Otherwise sigurdsson is getting bummed on that wing for 90 mins.
