We didn't score, though.

Fielding a false nine again could result in a tight game rather than one we should be more than able to win by two clear goals, due to their absentees.

Yeah as i said we lacked a striker that night, think Giroud might get the call 2 night?!

I certainly hope so. Don't want to see a false nine line up again

Yeah it mostly sucks bigsaltyballs! Lets hope for a good performance + result , and every player picked plays to 7 or more!

can we at least use pedro as the false 9 and hazard on the left? pedro would make runs in behind

Sarri would rather see us relegate than tweak his tactics and formation...

If it is false 9, i aint watching. How much more proof does Sarri need that this does not work. The worst about it is, he is dubbed an attacking coach but the only reason he uses that is for Pedro and Willian to protect the flanks better than Hazard so this is a defensive tactic that we sacrifice any attacking penetration for.

in the press conference he talks about hazard plus another 10 players that have to do the defensive phase

he won't risk giroud today. if he scores two goals it would be a strange welcome for gonzalo

We have all talked about a reaction and Hazard this and false 9 that, but you know what, in all of this the crowd need to be massive for the players tonight.

Bound to be seeing as it's Spurs and we're behind. Hopefully the players can give them something to cheer about though.
