1-0 win.
Maybe I was a bit too excited and overconfident so my conservative prediction is 3-0 with Son scoring three offside backheels, all of which are set up by Janssen backheels.
Until such time as Chelsea slip up (!!) EVERY one of our last 8 games is must win... we've set the bar pretty high this season, and we simply can't have a repeat of last season's ending...
I've already had nightmares that Hull could already be relegated by the time we play them on the final day, and we have another Newcastle scenario on our hands. Hopefully, Silva will keep them up with games to spare, and that Groundhog day can be avoided!!
I'm not sure we'll have quite enough to win the league, but we've more than proved we have what it takes to finish Top 4, and dare I say it... even 2nd this time.
THAT would represent progress... but we need to keep going until the VERY end this time!

Blimey, get you the pessimist... I think we can score at least 1!
Lets have a big fuck off home win on saturday, 12:30pm kick off, start the drinkin early lads. I don't want another another 3-1 89th minute winner, i cannot take this shit at my age . Lets just have it from when the game starts!

Thanks! I tried that originally and it said it wasn't valid, then I removed the mobile (mobile.twitter.com) and it worked.
I would go with
Hugo
Walker-Dier-Toby-Vertonghen-Davies
Eriksen-Dembele
Alli-Son
Janssen
If Davies is struggling we can just move Dier up to DM and Alli and Son move a bit wider.

Trippier certainly an interesting choice, but will Poch be playing a player just for the sakes of he played well a few times against the same opposition.
Some are saying Tripps-Janssen might be a good pair. But from the times i know Janssen at Spurs + those videos i kept watching from the time he was with AZ, there is nothing to sugget he is a good aerial player. Some might said a bad one. Tripp killer cross could only benefitted Dele i guess.
Watford is the worst club we played this season. I actually think we should win by ridiculous margin like 0-8. Instead it finished 1-4. Not to say it will certainly be repeated, they will be idiotic to approach the game with the same manner.
I think this is a game with 3 at the backs, their forward are all a big lump of muscle. Success, Deeney, and Okaka. Okaka has caused problem to our centre backs when he was Anderlecht player if im not mistaken. So i hope Wanyama is back, if not, lets play both Son and Janssen.

Watford not brilliant - have beaten Woolwich away so no mugs They have won their last two. We should respect them as a PL side but we should be too strong for them. We need to keep one eye on the Semi in two weeks so best side to secure points but get key players fully fit for Chelsea. A week gaps between games is welcomed.
As for Sissoko, keep giving him playing time. We may need to rely on him in part at some point as we do with all the squad .
Im sure Im right in saying , they do squad rotation more than any other team, so should cope with injuries and suspensions. They are always changing their 11 so chance, will allow them to get it right sometimes (against Woolwich)?
We must be 100%-there is no reason why we shouldn't win this if we get it right and no mistakes
I believe, Swansea would have been a different finish if it was 0-0 on 88 mins. We were one nil down so had nothing to lose getting forward, once we scored they collapsed . At 0-0 the mentality may have been different. It was a great result but factors play there their part. We don't want Watford to score early and then have something to defend.

Vorm, Wimmer, Trippier, Davis, Sissoko, Son, Onomah
Try to give Davis a rest since he's playing every game until Rose gets back. This is a game where Davis can be rested and try out N'Koudou at LWB.
