Match Everton v Spurs April 3rd

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This season is a top notch rollercoaster.

I watched first half of Newcastle vs ManU... and ffs, Toon could have scored 3 while ManU never threatened. Properly outplayed.

But as Spurs fan, I could not help but to think... Newcastle players are not anything that spectacular. But given the right coaching, system and motivation, their passing game was really logical and easy on the eye. Players moved. Ball moved. Teammates opened up passing angles. Players carried the ball.

FFS is there anyone that would claim that this Toon side has more technical ability compared to Spurs??? I doubt it. It is all about mentality and approach. I know-i know, I get repetitive for myself as well and starting to annoy myself as well with this, but that just proved to me what kind of absolute cancer Conte was for us. Making pretty much everyone scared of the ball. Killing all kind of creativity and substituting with just lumping the ball upfield. Everyone seemed more afraid to do something wrong than wanting to do something right. All confidence eroded. No belief left and only hopes being set-pieces or situations where opposition fucked up badly and gifted us chance.

I really want to see some balls in todays performance. Dyche will not make it easy, I know that.

I want to see 5-3-2.

I want to see

------------Forster--------------
-----Romero-Dier-Lenglet---
-Porro----Skippy---Perisic---
---------Sarr-----PEH----------
-------Kulusevski-Kane-------

As far as I understand we cannot use Bentancur, Bissouma, Davies, Sessegnon, Royal and Richie.
So our sub-bench is really fucking poor - Lloris; Sanchez; Tanganga; Moura; Son; Danjuma.
A GK returning from long layoff; two CBs who I would not want to touch even with really long stick; no-output striker that has done nothing this season and is soon leaving; loanee who has got 0 chances and surely is leaving and possibly checked out already... and out-of-form Son. Safe to say we ain't gonna see 5 subs used up ....

Pretty spot on team this. Son has to play though. He is getting back into form and is undroppable. He can go through that purple patch and I reckon it starts against Everton tonight. A front three of kulu, kane and son with the shackles off has me foaming at the mouth. This is a new start tonight. We need to play positive front foot football and we win easily. Everton will be defensive but I am confident we can make the pitch wide. They with try to crowd the middle and double up on our wingers when they can. We need to play those intricate one twos down the wings. I reckon kulu and pdero porro will give them nightmares down that wing. We got this.
 
The tea leaves say 6-0 spurs. COYS

Their owners have pumped in x500 more than ENIC but employed the wrong football staff to manage the strategy. Our owners are far less generous

Right, so when you say x500; you're talking mega-bollocks... You know that yeh?

Be jealous..... :angryscouser:

All that aMbIShUn, "generosity" and them "winning the trf window" in back-to-back seasons really did "embarrass" us!
 
Looks like they need to see a doctor.
I know it's crazy. This is an easy three points. With conte's negative aura around I think we would have lost. But it is all positive around the team and club now. Conte was too controlling. I am not worried about whether we win but about how many we get. Its a chance to score a hateful of goals. I could see kane getting a hay trick tonight. We will see the kane and son telepathic interplay back again. So excited for this match.
 
Good chance to go third.

So we will lose.
You are so negative. You are even bringing my mood down. Why are you so down at a time like this when your club needs you. This is a new chapter. A bet you were one of those that doubted us overtaking le arse last year. That was bottle to go on that run with everything against us. We have been cheated this season as well. I will bump this when we batter Everton tonight.

My wife has noticed a change and uplift in my mood. She knows my mood is solely dependent on my football club. I am now in a positive state of mind as I know this is a new era. We have the players and we are starting to invest now. Let's tie up third and then bring that exciting young energetic coach in with new ideas and positive energy. Let's plug the gaps in our squad. We also have such huge money making potential at this club. This stadium is setting us up to invest in the biggest players in a few years. I just want us to get more talent coming though the youth setup. Where is the next winks and skipp? This is where we are lacking. Supplementing youth talent coming through with buying top quality.

Shut the fuck up. You'd lose that bet btw.

I genuinely don’t think we will sell to Utd.
Kane will not want to go if we finish above them. We could be in the champions league and they could be in europa. We have vested interest in United failing this season. We need them not to win the europa league as well. Kane is very loyal and I think his heart is still with spurs. I reckon he will commit his future. We love him. He won't have the love anywhere else. Also are squad is slowly improving. He knows we are going to buy some top top players in the summer and also I reckon seeing top quality like pedro porro come through the door cements our ambition.
 
Looks more like a duck than a cockerel does that mean we'll score nil?


Uncover hidden tea leaf meanings​

If you notice a duck symbol in your tea leaf reading then this is a positive indication which represents that things are going to float along fine.
The duck symbol is a sign of assistance and useful information. It's a clear sign telling you to that you should trust in yourself. Seeing this symbol also signifies that freedom to decide your future lies in your hands.
You are making great improvement, particularly if you are working in conduction with other people.
Furthermore, this is a positive symbol and will surely bring you a lot of good things in your life both spiritually and materially. A duck on the side of your teacup would symbolize that in the near future you'll acquire a positive power over an certain project at work.
Be sure that you take advantage of this opportunity and put it into use in a good way. If your tea leaf reading has more than one duck then this signifies new beginnings.
Maybe it's time to reflect on how you should have lived you life and how you can make your existence better. In old dictionaries a duck symbol represents great rewards for all your tireless efforts. It's easier to achieve great things if you press high and play on the front foot and don't sit back and invite pressure. If you notice three dots below the feet of the duck, prepare yourself for Romero to get a yellow card. Perhaps you may need to tie up some loose ends.
To sum up, this symbol is positive and seeing it in your teacup would mean you will most probably enjoy a future filled with numerous blessings.

That is defamation of character. I have as much right to be here as you. I do not appreciate those verbal attacks on me and that foul use of language and absolute scandalous accusations. I love my club. I may get carried away at times but that is because of the love for my club. We need to support that club and players and not put them down. What sort of mindset do you set for our players if they come onto this forum and see your posts that are saying we will lose.

The difference between you and me is you think these players are here to serve your needs and satisfactions. Well buddy boy, I have a newsflash for you. It is a two way thing. They give us such joy that we are there to also give them the love and respect as without football and our club there is no enjoyment in this world. You obviously have no management experience as it is about motivating your workforce and not putting them down.

Can you stop quoting me. Cheers.

The difference between me and you is I support spurs, and you're a troll.
 
Team picks itself surely?

Lloris (Forester if Lloris is not fully fit)

Porro Romero Dier Lenglet Perisic

Skipp Hojbjerg

Kulusevski Kane Son


I'd be shocking if it's not the above bar Forster.
