Conte rolling w/ his negative tactics again via a 2 man Midfield. When has this ever worked ? Why not slot Skipp in there ? Seems to work so much better .
 
Fifa had us 2 down but we pulled it back to Desmond before halftime & fresh legs Moura fired home a 88 min winner . Could have gone either way though .
 
Woolwich and West Ham not getting wins takes the pressure off a bit. We always knew Chelsea where favourites today but it’s even more of a free hit. Don’t play with fear.
Not sure I agree with that - given games played etc, I'd rather West Ham drew or even won yesterday - last thing we need is United getting points, whilst they may be rubbish generally right now, I can't help but feel they're more likely then Wham to put a good run together and finish above us if we don't take our chance...
 
If we make it into the 60th-ish minute level or a goal behind, we do have Reguilon, Lucas, Gil etc. to come on. Do I believe that we'll make it there? No...
 
Not the 11 I would have gone for to say the least, but clearly Conte thinks we need freshening up a bit. But it looks like a take a point all day long kind of team which never bodes well.

It’s only a bad lineup if it doesn’t work

Take a point and get out of there smiling

What if Skipp has a muscle strain and the medical team have advised that he not start the game? Agree the team doesn't look good.

Conte rolling with 6 defenders , 2 Midfielders and 2 attackers doesnt fit Tottenham. it never will. it didn't work the first leg vs Chelsea in the Carabo Cup. And how on earth isn't Skipp playing ?

Personally I think Woolwich are the likely rivals for top 4, they have on paper a team that is quite good and also very young and energetic in Smith-Rowe, Oldegaard, Saka, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, White, Tierney etc. West Ham are most likely out of the picture but as local rivals it’s nice for them to be dealt with. In a straight race between us and United I think Conte will be the difference.
 
Erm how the fuck did you know this 30 mins before the team sheet came out? :/

If you didn't know, make sure you enter the lottery this week, and if you did know, also tell us some news about transfers to we don't waste another 500 pages talking about them pointlessly in the week ahead. ;) :)
Paul O'Keefe posts a predicted lineup on Twitter every game, gets a lot of things right, obviously has some contact/s in and around the club.
 
I love Conte deeply but if he’s gone away from a CM 3 as it appears on paper it’s a massive mistake.

Hope I’m wrong! COYS.

Agreed, but with West Ham playing United yesterday, I'm not sure a United win was something we wanted... not for me anyway.
