This is the key aspect of the game for me -


Insert Robbie from AFTV “you go to Tottenham, you put your life in your hands”

Insert Gary Neville “Those Tottenham fans brutalised Woolwich”

Insert the gooner hiding in Greggs toilets


They hate coming here to play us when we make the atmosphere horrible for them. We cannot have any wimpy attitudes from anyone either players or fans going into this, if we give it to them they’ll crumble
 
This could be heaven or hell on Sunday.

We could literally hand them the title if we roll over and let them tickle our bellies but imagine if we actually went out there and got in their faces aggressive as fuck,played quick clinical football,beat them and effectively end their title challenge?

The fans in the stadium need to make this horrible for those cunts and then we need the lads to stand up do their jobs.

I’ve never wanted to win against them as much as I do on Sunday. EVER
 
think the best we can put out for me is
vicario

porro
Romero
vdv
Davies

Bissouma
Sarr
Maddison

Son
Kulu
Johnson

need sarr's box to box energy and work rate.

need kulu's ability to hold the ball, and have more physical presence in our own box at set pieces .

we've only been really poor the once at home this season, and that was against wolves. Chelsea was more bizarre than poor
 
If the team gets a draw , then they have done well.
With them in great form, it does have that inevitable feel about it.
It's a NLD so, hopefully the team and fans are up for it.
 
Emery and Tuchel are two hugely pragmatic managers Ange simply is not but can he instill a pragmatic sit deep when needed mentality for this game? Because that's what'll be needed, I do genuinely think if this was an away game we'd have a better chance but because it's a home game there's almost a responsibility on the team (not just from the manager but fans) to go out and be entertaining and give it a go which I think will play into their hands.

Good post.

Now that 4th is only possible if we win, it makes a proactive approach even more likely, and that adds danger to your point.

This should have been a game without wider significance for us. Lose it, so what, so let's give it a go. Not now due to our recent form..

Now it's anything but.

4-4-2 , with a proper striker and Son would have been ideal, and sit back. Bissouma and an out of form Maddison in a 3 screams danger.

Bissouma cannot be on the pitch for this. He's been so poor the last 2 months, and the midfield has been so weak.

Hojbjerg would be the better choice. He understands when to sit in, as well as allow Sarr/Bentancur to push forward.
