Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 Everton (Sat 24 Aug, 3:00 PM)

[Mr Happy]

I am already dreading the games and this one is particularly worrying. I have no confidence that we will take anything from it. We will be lucky to get a goal. Spurs don’t look great but they are far better than us. Son up against Holgate would be a murder picture. Can’t see any positives at the moment only more Dyche selections playing Dyche ball with the same result.

Nick an early goal and then keep 11 players behind ball. Simple.

Rumours that Tarks is a doubt ?! Anyone heard this? Same person who said last Wednesday that Keane was starting v Brighton

He copped a knock in the first half on Saturday didn't he?

I reckon the same team except Holgate for Young.

If this is true, that means Keane starts and we lose.

it's always the same S when he starts.

Just said that to my son.

All the chances that went begging at Leicester will go flying in.

Not feeling optimistic.

Surprise me blues. Please.

I'll be honest - I don't think he's looked 100% fit all pre season & on Saturday. Reckon there's a good chance that he's been carrying something for a while now.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Why would you voluntarily pick Keane? And in a back three, for goodness' sake. Zero logic.

...who's the alternative currently?

Yes

 

[MikeH72]

I think we could genuinely ship 6 or 7 here.

O'Brien.

If he's been earmarked to replace Branthwaite then he must by default be better than Keane & Holgate.

If he's NOT Branthwaite's successor then he must be Tarkowski's eventual replacement. Otherwise why have we spent £20m (ish) on him?

O'Brien is literally in the side I picked..

Probably should be our approach for 80% of the season.

Hope to get a point/nick goal from a set piece.

Thoroughly depressing.
