1-0, Spurs. It’s got to finally happen one of these days, and we can all rejoice.
Seems like every match thread starts with this, lately.
Very concerned about the absence of our Brazilians, especially with all the Woolwich Brazilians out and rumors of Gabriel’s birthday being a spreader event. We could certainly use both in this congested stretch.
I’d go with:
Lloris
Aurier Alderweireld Rodon Reguilon
Sissoko Hojbjerg
Lamela Ndombele Bergwijn
Kane
Really need some rotation as I think we look a bit tired. But very hard to comfortably take Kane, Son, Hojbjerg, Dier, or Ndombele out of the side at the moment considering the alternatives.

At least have the only other available striker on the bench in case Harry has a(nother) stinker. Not hugely fussed by Bale over Son, Bergwijn or Lamela, but fuck me don't cripple yourself by having 3 centre backs on the pitch and another 3 on the bench. PLEASE.
Tottenham points in last 6 league... 6
Fulham points in last 6 league... 7

They are like bloody Lockdowns
Yeah I was thinking this. Going behind might prompt us to go forward.
But then again....
Lloris
Aurier Alde Rodon Reguilon
Hojbjerg
Lamela Dele Ndombele Son
Vinicius (if unavailable then play Bale)
Just let bale roam and take shots.

They seemed to have gotten a few clean sheets lately, anyone been watching them play? Are they just parking the bus?
Yeah, they have been really solid at the back this month, only conceded from two penalties in their last four matches.
I wouldn’t say they are parking the bus necessarily, but they don’t have much at all in terms of creativity and their forward options are really poor.
Their midfield is very athletic and active though, a big part of their recent defensive success and they’ve been 3 at the back with relatively cautious wingbacks. They’ll look to play on the counter for the most part.
If we don’t display a little more ambition and creativity, I’d imagine it won‘t be one for the neutrals, especially with the short turnaround.
There is a chance Fulham might score.
We need to sit back, defend, stay organised and try and nick a goal if the opportunity presents itself.
We have to be careful to not try and pass the ball between our players just in case we lose it. Better off letting Fulham have the ball all the time so we can concentrate on our defensive shape.
When Fulham score, don't panic. Don't rush to equilise. Just focus on not letting them score again.
Sigh...
