Match Fulham (A) 1st March, 2pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not pinning my hopes on this game as in it being a must win.

Both daft, disrespectful to Fulham and setting expectation higher than evidence would make reasonable or justified.

One eye fixed on us and the other fixed towards Merseyside.

We’ll see how big Tudor’s stones are. Does he have the cajones to drop some of the guys who are playing in pure fear and out a couple of kids in and give the side some energy and impetus?

Three of the cajones that Igor Tudor is hoped to have...

Biggest game of the season without doubt.

We will see if Tudor is wedded to his 3 CBs system. Because 7 touches yesterday in the Woolwich box tells you everything you need to know about how shit it is when you have no actual wingbacks.

Porro coming back helps a little but not much. He doesn't have the cojones to play souza. I'd give him a free pass if he played wingback with Souza and Porro there.

Anyone else and it has to be a back 4.

We need to get something from this one. I'd take your arm off at the shoulder if you offered me a draw. Every point is crucial right now.
 
Must pick up a point and gotta pray that the dippers beat the pikeys at Anfield whilst Forest lose away at Brighton.

Would see us end the weekend 3 clear of Forest and 5 of Spam.
 
The negativity on here has stepped up since we lost to the strongest team in the PL who got crucial decisions in their favour. We are playing a good team next week but not an exceptional one. I did not realise we have not won there for some time but we have not been good in the PL for some time so we are going to keep coming up against these sort of records.

We will have a fit Solanke & Richie whilst yesterday they were only good to play 30 mins. Not sure what Kinsky’s injury is but now Vicario is not dithering with the ball at his feet but kicking long then he is better than Kinsky anyway. I hear the call for youngsters but the best are all on loan, I know it helps their future but we needed them now and not the youngsters on the bench that are not as good as them. I did not see enough evidence in Sousa’s appearance for him to displace Spence. If we get Porro’s & Danso back then it will be a big boost.

Unlike yesterday when defeat seemed inevitable, this match should be close. Hopefully Tudor will get the defence doing what he wants, pressing further up and we start with two strikers.

He's played a back 4 like twice in 150 games.

Whether we like it or not he's going with a back 3. That's his thing.
 
We've lost every so called must+win this season.... Must draw!

Subs: Sarr, Richie + the Kid Army!
Can't think of anyone else who is fit, able AND/or in any kind of form...

So- the formation roughly worked for us for most of the game- until our equalizer was called foul in a particularly sad moment of officiating. We should at least take some heart from that. There's a seed of something there- a lot of us can see it- and there is a chance it will be enough to carry us to safety.

The teams collective belief at this point must be lower than low right now- we really need to all show support for them now and in the upcoming weeks. We are absolutely up against it right now!

No it didn’t work

We got a hiding, they were all over us and we barely got near their box. So lucky it was only 2-1 up to that point.
