Match Tottenham vs Elfsborg - January 30th at 08:00pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We have 3 very important cup matches coming up. I doubt anyone expects us to win all 3 but they are all more important than the PL match at Brentford. We have a gap below us and after these cup games we can then concentrate on the Pl when more players will be back.
I only saw the 25min highlights (sky's word not mine) but whilst the 2 goals conceded were bad, we should have scored more goals against that opposition. We cannot break down a low block team either because of tactics or because the players simply are not good enough. However if we do not play our best attackers we will not beat Elfsborg and end up with 2 unwanted matches.
As a long time supporter I am not concerned about relegation as seen much worse several times before and will not give the new thread called that, any attention. Those supporters wanting to throw this match and play 2 extra matches are putting that at more risk.
Difficult to pick the team not knowing who is available but it must be the best 11 available.
I think we'll win one of those three if we're lucky. And I don't mean Liverpool or Villa.
 
Is a point enough to guarantee top 8?

I think Richy is key to this. We need a central striker otherwise we are fucked, Sonny doesn’t work as a CF. Just hoping that discomfort in his groin is just mild.

At least use Lankshear if not as a beanpole so we can have Son to the left.
 
You're not that far off with the wish of a Legolas look a like. The manager Oscar Hiljemark

Worth a punt?

Yeah, after storming to a whopping 24 points we can really take our foot off the gas in the league...
