BLionheart 516 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Not very optimistic heading into this game , we are definitely the better team but their style is exactly the one that should have us beat , if they play like they did in the 1st half against united ....You can expect 11 spurs men defending , quick counters , targeting and doubling up on Ivanovic ... that is why Oscar should be RW if he is to play alongside Mata , Hazard .Also Dembele , Dempsey and Sandro make one very capable midfield defensively.

Jase 43,479 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Could have seriously done with the England game not being postponed yesterday. Playing the match today instead would mean a day less rest for Cole and Cahill. The latter is probably not playing against Poland, so it's maybe fine but need a fresh Cole ahead of this lunch time kick off game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klopfzeichen 78 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 A tie would be a victory for that ginger troll. Nothing but a win against the Spurs.Why is there so much bad blood against AVB? He was a rubbish manager but always acted like a gentleman. He's a decent guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Also Dembele , Dempsey and Sandro make one very capable midfield defensively. Luckily Dembele picked up an injury with Belgium last night. He's a doubt for the match. Would be a huge blow for Spurs if he misses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo talks Blue 85 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Why is there so much bad blood against AVB? He was a rubbish manager but always acted like a gentleman. He's a decent guy.He is a descent man but he nearly ruined our team during his tenure. He sucked as a manager. We were on the verge of getting knocked out of the UCL. It's RDM who saved us from sinking. Here's to Di Matteo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think we are better off, since its only Cole that is starting tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Without Dembele we'll destroy those fools in midfield and as a result probably on the scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
