MoroccanBlue 5,384 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I'm actually comfortably confident about this. We played Conte's Spurs three times, won all three and an aggregate score of 5-0. Obviously they added Kulu, but the game plan will be the same. Be organized at the back and then break on the counter. Stick Kovacic and Kante on Kane, and James on Son.

Pizy 18,992 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Kova is injured already ffs 🤦♂️. Probably would’ve been our most important midfielder in a match against this Spuds team. Now it’ll be Jorginho having to deal with that lightning counter attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three times we beat Conte's Spurs last season, Jorginho was on the pitch. Being at home and a smaller pitch, Jorginho I reckon will be fine.

And I think Son missed 1 of those matches against us. Bissouma will probably start tomorrow and could give Jorginho lots of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I see James and Koulibaly as the outside CBs, given the plan will be to give the ball to Kane and spray it to Son/Kulu. I think even with Jorginho on the pitch we have enough to nullify them given Conte will be Conte and give us far too much respect. Could be a 3-5-2 with Mount centrally to help Kante and Jorginho.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If we continue with our slow, cautious build up play and little movement up front, we will be playing right into their gameplan. They will be looking to suck us in, win the ball deep and spring at us with rapid counter attacks. We really need to avoid that, esp with so many slow players on the pitch for us. The heat will be scorching. Absolutely 0 problem with us parking the bus here and see out a 0-0. Maybe let Spuds inferioirty complex work for us and nick a goal from a deflection, set piece or pen.

Kulusevski wasn't there yet but if we're going down that route, in the three January wins against them we too had Chilwell and James missing and fucking Malang Sarr played 90 mins in the heart of the defence each of those games so let's not pretend our team was full strength either.

MoroccanBlue 5,384 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I have a feeling Spurs fans, neutrals, and the English media are going to get a reality check tomorrow. Unreal the amount of hype surrounding this Spurs team, completely ignoring we took the piss out of them with Conte last season. They scored 4 past a team Timo Werner scored 5 against.

Yeah in terms of quality, I do not think they are better than last season. They have more depth sure. But their starting lineup has only marginally improved. But this early in the season fitness comes into play. Conte has them going sharply. Many of our players struggled late in the Everton game. Koulibaly probably not used to the pace this late in the game, had cramps for example. He is a great defender but he is not the athlete Rüdiger is. Our entire back 3 will be under massive pressure when Spuds will throw Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Moura, Richarlison at us. They just looked so much sharper vs Southampton than we did vs Everton. Can't see us creating much from open play. I do not expect us to blown out by them but rather a cagey stop-start game. Draw will be the result both teams can live with so this is what i expect.

King Kante 1,643 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 My team Mendy K2 Silva Chilly James Gallagher Kante Cucu Mount Havertz Sterling Spurs look incredibly fit to me from the last game and we look undercooked. IMO, we need to go for our fittest players and players that aren't afraid of putting their foot in. Losing Kova is a big blow so I think we have to go with Gallagher over Jorgi as I can see Jorgi getting hassled and the Ref just letting Spuds gang bang him.

Probably should have labelled it Chilly/Cucu for LCB/LWB. I suspect when they're played together it will be slightly situational. Dead Balls for instance, I think Chilly will tuck in to the LCB role and in counters, I see them overlapping depending on how it develops.

I don't like to see Cucurella as a LCB, put Azpi RCB and Koulibaly LCB. As for midfield both Gallagher and Kante are unbalanced to me, it should be Jorginho instead of Gallagher.
