They are good. I’ve caught a few of their games this season. They like to press and can play very quickly up front. Think we line up similar to Villa except Lo Celso for Dier if he’s fit for 90 and maybe Tanganga for Davis only since he’s just back to fitness. Won’t be an easy one that’s for sure but no doubt we can grab a win. 3- 2 Spurs
No worries there is half priced hugs at half timeLooking forward and dreading this in equal measure. Will be in the South Stand for this one, so hope everyone is going to be in good voice.
You can't win the tie in the first leg; but you can certainly lose it.
That makes absolutely no sense. Whatever scoreline "loses it" could just be reversed to "win it".

You can't win the tie in the first leg; but you can certainly lose it. Expect us to play very cautious and aim to keep a clean sheet above all else. With our pace up front, we should be able to nick a goal.
If our home fans show frustration at our apparently lack of attacking commitment; this could prove to be our downfall. Let's make the assumption that Jose knows more about football tactics than us - so no booing!
Expect we will see the preferred setup. Defensive on the left; attacking on the right, playing with a back 3 whilst Aurier given freedom to push up.
It's nice to see we have a selection dilemma and real quality on the bench. I'm sure we will hear the usual groans if Dier is picked to start, but with Chelsea at the weekend; time management of those players not 100% is key if we want them to contribute (Ndom, GLC, Lamela).
Whilst Dele was wasteful in his finishing against Villa; he did show how clever he is at creating space for himself for those long balls from Dier and Toby. My $$ is on Dele to net a couple of goals in this one.
