This game reminds me of a few years ago under conte before crystal palace. All shitting ourselves we would lose and we won 3 nil with a kane hat-trick. If were shitting ourselves v bournemouth we may as well give up.
 
That front 3 doesn't have to be bad though. If we actually used Werner and Johnson's pace it would look better. But we insist on taking 20 passes just to get the ball to either of them, then it's at their feet, on the halfway line, with the opposition set up nicely to defend.
On the rare occasion we actually move the ball forward with a hint of urgency, we usually end up scoring.
I do agree that we play far too many no risk passes which makes it easy to defend against. Watch them tomorrow and see how many times they run in behind. They come to the ball most of the time when they are run in behind players. All hopeless and taking the ball in but for some fucked up reason they want to come to the ball. They play to their weaknesses. Games like palace away, Fulham away and Bournemouth away are where they guys will really struggle. It’s too compact,tight and frantic for them.
I hope to fuck I’m wrong but I really won’t be confident if we start with that same three from Sunday.

Depends on what Tottenham team turn up, if they are good then they are brilliant but, when they are bad it's really bad.
Even in a transitional period, this has been very poor at times 6 wins 5 defeats tells you everything.
 
You jest.

We are spineless and if we lost it would not surprise me.

If Postecoglou picks certain players it is more than possible.

Romero and Bissouma as I wrote last night would hand the advantage to Tamworth.
IF we olay our A or A-ish game tomorrow we will win. Players need to start showing leadership and urge to win. Not just happy to take the pay and hope for international call up. Thats been the problem at the club for many years. Dont want it enough.

I respect you on here more than most but it doesn't work like that.

We are weak of mind.

I am unsure what it is that we are incapable of or why but there is a fragility about us. A tough midfielder and a power house of a striker would be great. Jackson of Cnut club and let's say Guimares amd we would be in the top 3. But....

And this isn't about quality per se but attitude. Neither of those 2 players ever play like they don't belong. It makes such a difference. We have apologetic players if that makes any sense at all.

I honestly don't know how we beat City (we are their bogey team) or United (weird) so heavily but we have a team who cannot be trusted and who lack potency

I will be staggered if we win. Staggered.
