Imagine Defoe as the striker in this team. Goals.
Can't wait for this. Just logged off after working til gone 11 every night this week to clear the decks in preparation for a week and a half's leave starting from now. I plan on cracking my first beer open at about 3pm tomorrow, having a leisurely few through the afternoon and being nicely on my way by ko.
Not read through the thread properly but I'm assuming sarr will be ok after being ill and that we'll be as u were except for Bissouma in for hojberg.
Will Richarlison bang one in this time? I thought he was superb on Monday apart from his finishing which as usual was dreadful. Needs to get his body over the ball and start hitting it with some bloody conviction instead of leaning back. Amazing really that a professional striker could fall into that trap bit that's what he's been doing.
I'll go 3-1 Spurs Richie first goalscorer

Subs: Forster, Phillips, Royal, Skipp, Sarr, Maddison, Kulusevski, Son, Veliz
Maddison >>> 60' <<< Lo Celso
Son >>> 60' <<< Bryan Gil
Kulusevski >>> 60' <<< Johnson
Royal >>> 75' <<< Udogie
Veliz >>> 90' <<< Richarlison

Ange will play his strongest team, so Biss and Son will start, and I expect Richy will play at LW. Udogie is being monitored so not surprised if Davies plays - Royal is too awkward a fit at LB.
Expect (and hope) to see Bryan come on for Rich for 20mins, and hopefully Veliz for Son around 70'.
Spurs 4-0
Am I reading that right?
Looks like we are the only top 4 team that hasnt at least had a penalty this season! Wonder how long it is before we find out who our penalty taker is!
Woolwich have had 5 Penalties in 9 games???
Jesus Christ - whoever their penalty taker is, they're on for the golden boot at that rate.
Blimey.......nothing to see here is there....... Those penalties were only worth about 7 points........
And they were losing 1 nil against Fulham with twenty minutes to go before 4 yellows, a red and a penalty happened........
Just as well I'm not cynical.......
Have a feeling we are going to absolutely destroy palace tomorrow! Ange will want the boys to really put on a show! Let’s not forget, for all the pressure the lads are feeling (All of us know this is a game that historically we would be mentally broken by) they know they a big win for us immediately turns and ramps up that pressure onto city, the gooners, Liverpool etc!
yea a statement win puts pressure on the chasing pack and it could cause some unexpected points to drop. need to make it count! im confident of a win but with talks of udogie being out and possibly sarr, that will weaken us a bit. 0-3 would be lovely, anymore is great.
we are due a game where we score a load early! if that happens we could see the likes of veliz and gil getting substantial minutes to impress.
Or foot and mouth?
me and my lot are meeting up round Victoria at 3 then heading over.
No idea why I can’t see this thread in the forum index.
I’m not ignoring the thread starter, and I’m not ignoring the thread.
Very odd
I don’t have you on ignore either lol.
In my ten years on this forum I’ve never had to put a single person on ignore. And I’ve never had a yellow card either.
I’m like the Gary Lineker of this forum.
But Gary’s a prick so I don’t really know where I’m going with this
How's Porro's left foot? I can't recall seeing much of it with respect to crossing, striking etc
Just seen he's on 3 goals and 2 assists this season. Invaluable to have a scoring threat from our fullbacks again!
I think he’s good enough with his left but in Ange’s system we are probably a bit less concerned with the dominant foot of our fullbacks. Not only do they make inverted runs but a lot of the time they play as auxiliary center midfielders when we are working the ball out from the back. They aren’t hugging the touchline all the time like conventional fullbacks where it’s beneficial that they open up to their dominant foot on the outside of the field.
Just my thoughts on it anyway! I’m also happy with his goal contributions so far!
Challenge accepted
Sadly no Spurs-based dreams last night to help with score prediction. (Did dream Sharon Osborne was my hairdresser. She dyed my hair to look like her, and told me I had weird ears 
)
Anyhow, comfortable win today. Not underestimating Palace, but I think Ange was really pissed with them on Monday and I expect a reaction. 0 - 3, goals for Son, Madders and Kulu. Shame I'm going out, will be a late catch up tonight.

Can’t see anything else than any away win. Only question is by how much.
And I’d be equally as surprised / happy by a scrappy late goal 1-0 win as much as a 5-0 dominant display.
Their injuries are going to hurt them a lot.
Palace struggle to score anyway but generally Roy knows how to keep things tight.
But we more than a few levels above them as a footballing side.
Going to be a very nice feeling going into the weekend with a 5 point lead.
