Play Chirpy for all I care to be honest. Anyone with the slightest niggle can watch from the stands. I would like to see Gray play at DM as well because he's only two good performances there away from being our best option IMO.

Agree

There are a few other changes I would like to see tried:

Richy (in a pair or wide left)
Spence right mid in front of Porro at RB
VDV LB or
Back 3

Let’s be bold, got players good enough to win this mofo but they aren’t clicking in this system yet

you're actually a thick as pig shit liar(now I get why you reacted to my posts from months back) that's sole purpose is to get a reaction.

Everyone didn't think "we'd get relegated" you absolute weapon. Everyone thought we would lose lots of games and be in a relegation battle. The only reason that second part didn't come to fruition was because the 3 teams in the relegation places have been so bad so claiming this as a 'I told you so' moment is laughable (I doubt even Don Pedro Don Pedro is going to do that).

Since that discussion we have lost to Leicester (home), Ipswich (home), drawn and lost to Wolves (home and away) and we didn't even rest our players anyway...for the most part we went as strong as we could so wtf are you even talking about.

Please stop giving him what he wants 🙈
 
It makes no sense to risk any of our players in a dead rubber. Who cares if we finish 17th or 13th. Europa league is all that matters now. Watch Ange go out with the strongest possible starting 11!!

If we actually fielded back up players kinsky, Scarlett, Moore, danso etc would we get in trouble with the league.
I recall blackpool getting in trouble for doing it. It was a bullshit punishment because it was after the 25 man squad rule was in place.
Not like it was u18 team they fielded.

Shady has got his best rod out , he even popped down to the shops to get some polish to shine it up a treat

Shady often likes to get his rod out, much to the chagrin of the local citizens and police force

An Intervention is probably needed

What the hell, I didn't even address anyone apart from Don Pedro Don Pedro and people are being over sensitive, Good Lord 😭
 
Whilst I agree it is only the Europa that matters it does not mean that 11 only play Europa matches. Whilst playing the strongest team in every match and players starting 2 matches a week is not good so is not playing. The best solution is somewhere in between with players getting Mins but not too many. Some players like Kula need to build up their fitness and start to become match fit.
Despite our PL position Whatever 11 are chosen then I will watch wanting them to win. However I will not be as disappointed if they fail to do so as the Europa is more important.

The only intervention needs to be to check his password manager is safe.

The bloke himself will be fine he’s got bridge over his head to protect him.

Forest are a great counter-attack team & great on the break - all we have to do is make sure our players don't create errors or give the ball away stupidly. It's always 1 duff pass or some dumbshiterry & we lose possession then concede.

But hey it's a PL game - I'll watch it & see how it goes.

Maybe that's too much to ask?!
Maybe it's too pathetic?!

On Thursday, Tottenham proved how to beat opponents - even if someone wrote that Frankfurt was shit.
Whether an opponent is shit or not is irrelevant.
Going onto the pitch without the will and without respect is the first step to only leave second place.

If the ball is lost, my expectation would be that a team like Tottenham focuses on getting it back as quickly as possible.
It could work if everyone at Spurs can rely on each other.

Tottenham is now in the semifinals of the Europa League!
You have to get there first - only four out of 36 manage that!

Regardless of that, you should try to continue to "take the PL seriously."

If you lose here, it could (perhaps?) affect your performance in the Europa League.
Getting "unexpected" points could boost their confidence.

Thursday is over. On Monday, Nottingham Forest will try to bag three points for themselves.
It will be challenging, but it could be worth it if Tottenham gives 100% in every remaining game.

If Spurs try that, then a defeat won't be as fatal as playing at half strength.No tip this time, just the hope that every single player at this great club will show everything they can do – play good football!Everything else will follow!

(And finally, something a bit crude again. It's nice when others see Tottenham as weak, as a possible relegation candidate.When Forrest is the first to believe they'll take it easy on Spurs!Yet another reason to (respectfully) kick their asses!)
 
As usual a divided fan base... 50% want Ange to fuck the league off, rest every key player and focus on Europa and the other 50% want him to go strong and build momentum. Both are right but it just shows that the line we are walking is so thin...

To an extent.

We have a big squad,now mostly fit. That means options and it would seem to make sense to take advantage.

The place will be buzzing and I just think that translates to a decent performance, whoever plays.

I don't think Postecoglou or the players will want to see the incredible high of Thursday instantly flattened by a defeat.

Aye sure there was a relegation thread at the time and people were tuning into Ipswich and Wolves games hoping they'd lose. Meanwhile we were around 300/1 to be relegated and were never bigger than 5/1 to win the Europa League. Perspective gets lost quick on here.
