Maybe a glimpse in to the future if he is still here in 2 seasons time. Coming on with 30 to go.
Would love for us to just go out play without fear which is what Ange is telling them to do. Let’s see angeball ffs. We didn’t really create great chances v Brighton and in other recent games. We generally score a couple but you can’t say we have sitters that we have missed. Example fati yday, Brentford at the end , Burnley in the cup. Ffs just want us to pummel teams out that extra effort and go for it. I don’t think we can play the slick passing yet so let use our pace we have in the team and get at teams. Bloody want to shut up all the piss takers about spurs!
Especially if we put the ball in their net and not ours when scoring.
It is at this stage of the season where the top coaches shine through.
Clearly the other teams are now familiar with how we set up and are playing to stop us; rather than implementing their own style.
I'm expecting another hard fought win. Wolves will sit off us and crowd their own box; hoping to cut off all shooting lanes.
Interestingly, in the Brighton game; we seemed to fall asleep at the 70 minute mark. We suddenly stopped pressing, the runs slowed to a jog and we sat back. We even played a few lazy passes right back to them. I do wonder if this was a tactical switch from Ange since it was not too long after we made 3 subs. It seemed we were trying to increase their confidence to push forward so we could open more space for our runners up top.

They're probably going to be missing Cunha which Is massive.
If we don’t score at least 5 I might have to start a protest at the next home game involving some banners that are sitting in my garage doing nothing.
Whatever happened to levy out????
Anyway West Ham scored 3 goals against these mugs at the London stadium of shite.
Nailed on 3 points for the Hot Spurs.
Frank knows………

I am getting fed up reading comments pre match about easy wins which turn out to be nothing of the sort. Wolves were the last PL team we failed to score against last March and beat us at home, This. like Brighton will not be easy and we need to get playing like early season. I expect a tight match with us getting a close win like Brighton. Hopefully not leaving the winner as late. A further weeks training into those still recovering from injuries will see an improved performance. Even a win could see us drop out of the top 4 before we play again with the Chelsea match PP the week after.
It’s great to see all these new Spurs fans.
Have to get back to our earlier season starting eleven.
Ultimately we should have too much for them. Cunha looks like he'll be missing but Hwang will likely be back and Neto is always a danger.
One of those get in and get out with 3 point type of games. 2 weeks off after this so heading into that with 3 points and in 4th place will be good.
Vicario
Porro - Romero - Van de Ven - Udogie
Sarr - Bissouma - Maddison
Kulusevski - Richarlison - Son
Has to be that if everyone is fit. Wolves are another one of those teams that press relatively well and are very physical in midfield, don't make it easy against the top clubs. Porro - Romero - Van de Ven - Udogie
Sarr - Bissouma - Maddison
Kulusevski - Richarlison - Son

I'd go with this but if Kulu doesn't show up I'll start Johnson for the game after
This is the team for me, no doubt. Udogie vs Neto could be the battle that decides the game, because of Udogie nulifies him successfully they don't have a huge number of other options.
3-1 Spurs.
