Match Sheffield United vs Tottenham Hotspur | Sunday 17th Jan, KO: 14:00

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

In their 18 Prem League matches so far Sheff U have failed to score more than one goal in all but one of those matches- so surely if we score twice we win. They have scored 9 and let in 29 so no excuse to sit back in this one
 
Truth is mourinho game plan is hampered by ndombele, ndombele deep and dele rotates with le celso and we win the league at a canter.

Ndombele is still after 15 months not up to speed, for a premier league midfield, if you watch alot of is games, he tends to drift out the game 20 mins into the second half.

I don't trust him either, in a three, he would be jose's lampard, PEH is his makele/matic, so we are short of a xabi alonso, fabregas, and even a ballack type of playmaker, hence i would like us to go for sanson, who could be on his way to villa.
Jose’s game plan is not hampered by Ndombele. In fact, Tanguy and Kane are the players that make it work.

He doesn’t want us to have the ball. He wants every player with the exception of Kane and Son to play most of their football in our half. Ndombele is the one player in our team that can effectively beat the press. He can’t have both things out of one player - a defensive workhorse *and* the solitary creative option in midfield.

Who can Tanguy pass to in his midfield partners? Who helps him?

Of course, he could drop Sissoko and play Dele, but Jose has called him out, humiliated him and decided that his losing the ball is more of a crime than Sissoko not being able to do anything other than run in straight lines.
 
I'm not one for superstition, but the omens aren't good, at least in my corner of the Madrid sierra...

Just went to the supermarket. As I was leaving, I went to squirt a little sanitiser gel onto my hands. It missed entirely, sending a vast bukkake of sticky gel down my trouser leg. The shock made me drop the shopping bag, breaking a bottle of wine in the process. In the confusion arising from rescuing my shopping from the river of white wine and glass, I left the steaks behind and had to make a return journey from home to recover them.


I'm really pleased to ear of your misery!
 
To save time please assume I've:

1) complained about the line-up
2) moaned about our sluggish playing style
3) shouted 'wake up' to nobody in particular
4) forgotten all of the above after we win 2-0
