Closed Spurs vs Chelsea

Lamps will be better then ramires with it being a darby and all, something Lamps would know far more about then rami,

Also he'll add height to the midfield, which people seem to think isnt important.....

This is a good trial period for the Cahill-Luiz partnership. If they manage to do well in the next four games, the coach would have no reason to make changes I think. Bad news for JT but good for the future of Chelsea.

I'm pretty positive that only new signings will score in this game.

Just an incredibly strong feeling.

Possibly... Oscar and.. Dembele if he's available for them.

[Liquidator 5,176]

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Luiz Cole

Ramires Mikel

Oscar Mata Hazard

Torres

If we play in a similar way that we did against them in the FA Cup semi final then I think this team is good enough to win the match. Ramires should play in the double pivot so that he can make runs from deep but his pace will also be important for dealing with Bale. If we hit them on the break then we can expose them on the wings with Hazard, Oscar and Mata because Walker and Assou Ekotto are attacking minded and left a lot of space last season against us.

Lol hilarious, in the most physical league in the world height isnt an issue....go watch barcalona,

height is important as you can have a variation of football needed to be a great team, not a one trick pony.

That's why Andy Carroll is needed into our team.

Well be should at least be a possbility.

That person to bring on and score the goals, look at him against Terry last season, unbelievable.

But i would still rather get Cavani if I'm honest, he does have more to his game.

Not even sure if your serious about carrol, but i agreed 100% on cavani, fellani to would be a great buy, wanna short pass? sure why not, wanna long ball? can do, knock down, out wide, through the middle? check check check. We NEED variation, Real Madrid is doing it best atm imo, when their playing well ofc.

I like Carroll and i think he is serious, it's a very good option and despite all the stick he gets, especially here, i like him a lot as a player. We play a different game though and might opt for a smaller more skilful option and not base our team around the big man like we once did. I'd like Carroll though personally, every side should have a plan B.

I'm also a big fan of Carroll, I didn't think there were this many of us.

He is good but....

We as a team couldn't cross for shit!

Until that is improved, he wouldn't benefit from our play...

Admittedly we scored a header last game, but that is rare lately... Crossing in open play has been woeful...

but u make the difference between Frank and Ramirez seem like Messi vs Yao Ming

[Rmpr 8,977]

I have a great feeling about this game.

I have a feeling we will not only win, but Hazard and Oscar will make a huge impact.

No, im not.

Lol im the only saying we should play him for 1, a darby he gets, 2 extra height to add variation to play,

rami is 5.10, lamps is around 6.0 and a half that however IS a huge advantage in the air.

Having a midfield in the PL were only one player is over 6ft is daft, This isnt la liga.

Ramirez pace is more important for this game than Lampard's height. Ramirez did have a bad day finishing his changes last time we played at white hart lane.

I dont agree, theirs more then enough pace in front of him.

Without terry theirs no true leadership either, Lamps will have to play a big game like this on experience alone.

I hate to be that pessimistic poster, but really not feeling confident about this one. I've watched spurs' last few games and I think it'll take a pretty special performance from us to beat them; not because they're 'better' than us - they're not. But as other posters have mentioned, Spurs' strength is our weakness and under AVB they are becoming a frighteningly good counter attacking team. Plus, I think they just have a lot more to prove with this game than we do. Considering the baggage between both teams, I just can't see them allowing us to walk into their stadium and tika taka our way into their net.

Dembele will easily be our main threat - he's very, VERY effective in winning back the ball and breaking up play. If we can somehow get past him (and his partner in crime, Sandro) then we got this.
