So here it is, another "cup final". We play the scum, a win and we get CL football. A draw and it's a huge chance we get CL football. Lose and we have to win away at Newcastle and at home vs Everton in order to get there.

They are without Doherty, Reguilon, Skipp and Tanganga. Even if they are all shit individually I would say beacuse of Conte and his system they will miss Doherty and Reguilon. I mean he made Doherty look like a football player, and lets face it, he is nothing more then a massive joke.

Partey and Tierney are still out for us, White might make it based on what Arteta said. Don't know if he will start....

I think I would go with 3 at the back and just play calm smart football, don't over commit when we attack, hit on the counter with Martinelli and Saka. For the same reason we should start Eddie, his pace will help us.

I don't think we will lose, 1-1. They will get a penalty no doubt, we will score from a corner.

I'd go 4 at the back but I'd make the 4 White - Holding - Gabriel - Tomi and tell them not to commit forward too much.

Rohit

I just hope we go there with the intent to win. It will be such an amazing way to get back into the CL.

we don't really have the midfield needed to choke kane out of the game. his ability to feed son is basically 90% of their gameplan. just need to hold serve and hope they spurs it up

Man mark Kane and don't give Son room in behind. I think if we do that they'll have to move forward as a unit and we can catch them with a bit of space behind their back 4.

Update, Arteta says White and Saka are doubtful for tomorrow.

If White is not available we can't even go 5 ATB. Unless we move Tomi to CB and Cedric RB but with Cedric doesn't make us more solid anyway.

Think we should just go our usual formation then. If Saka is not available then bring Pepe in.

After Arteta's latest comments about him I think Arteta would rather play with ten men than bring Pepe.

ESR?

Questions on my mind:

Can El Neny man mark Kane? and is Xhaka capable of cutting out the passing lanes to Kane?

Will Gabriel try to man mark Kane? and if so, will is over-zealousness get him on an early yellow?

What will it take for Ode to run this game? like he did vs West Ham last year.

I can’t believe this is the first NLD fans can actually attend at Spurs for 5 years (Wembley, Covid). Should be a great atmosphere.

I was at the last NLD away game fans could go to at Wembley when Auba missed his pen :-( I was in the Spurs section though so maybe a good thing haha

My favourite Spurs away victory is this one:

The last NLD derby of this importance was this one:

Elneny should man mark him. Their mids are crap, take the front 3 out and they've nothing.

Tough game. Need Martinelli to be on it. Think he can have some joy on the left

We were so wasteful it's crazy.

Mine was the 5-4.

Where's Rosicky and Pires when we need them.

MistaT

Rosicky knew how to stick it to them.

Feels like half his goals were against Spurs

Panda

I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us Son and Kane always score against us and can't remember the last time we kept a clean sheet.

Think they'll win 2-1 but hoping for a 1-1. A win for us is not even crossing my mind at this point that is the too good to be true scenario.

Shady

2-2

goon

1-0 win.
