Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

At our best of the last 6 or 7 years we would have struggled to overcome the injuries of the last days. Seems so unfair.

We support however through thick and thin but let's not surrender in fear.

Attack I beseech thee.

We got to a CL final with Sissoko and Winks playing every game, we can still do this. We our last away game against Milan with Sandro and Palacios in the middle. Conte simply has to adjust the team.

If we try to play the usual 343 with Skipp and Sarr in the middle then we are going to be in trouble. If we do something different like Dier as CDM in a 433 or Deki as a third midfielder in a 352, maybe we can get through it. There must be players in the squad who could do a short term job as a midfielder. Maybe even Emerson? A top manager finds a solution.
 
I really don’t wanna see Perisic, Son and Kulu start. I’d like a 442 with a Davies - Danjuma left hand side and an Emerson - Porro right hand side. Richarlison up front with Kane.

Luckily now we have Porro who can take all the set pieces. I think this is why one of Perisic/Son has started every game this season

Since Bentancur is out, You just know conte will set up to defend for 90 minutes and hope to get lucky and try to steal one.
Which is probably our best shot of going through.

If we come away with a draw tomorrow then that'll be massive.

Hopefully the next time we see them, we'll have a midfield of Skipp and PEH which improves us massively.

Said it before in this thread, but the aim of tomorrow is to come away without losing..... Or worse case scenario, come away only a goal down and still in the tie.
