Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Everton. Sat Oct 14th 5.30

[JLW]

Just happened across this quote from Conte on leaving Richarlison on the bench recently.

"When you play every game and especially with a different pressure compared to at Everton, he needed to have a bit of rest."

That's poor from Antonio, you have to say.

That tells us how far we have fallen and how were are perceived by other clubs and managers.

Its a bit rich coming from serial bottlers like Spurs but at least they're competing near the top.

And yet we have a chairman who thinks we've had "Good times"

 

[JLW]

I hope he doesnt play, we will hate him if he does ANYTHING.

If its between Son and Richarlison i would rather we faced Richarlison.

 

[DrEFC]

We don't have the quality to win this one, unfortunately. Spurs are light years ahead of us.

 

[Bilko]

Well whatever happens can it be as bad as the last visit in March, 3 down in 30 minutes, lost 5-0 , one of the worse performances of last season. Horrific viewing.
I'd snatch your hand off for a point.

Very, very difficult game. Will be interesting, as Conte likes to play a counter attacking game, but if we do what we have been doing, they may find it hard to break us down. But we'll have to keep hold of the ball better than we did against Manu.

 

[Yid4life]

Yes

 

[TrixyStevens]

Will be an exhibition for Spurs if we can’t control the ball and take chances when they come.

 

[No Alla Violenza]

If we can keep it tight and not stupidly give the ball away, you never know…

 

[arbok]

Spurs are overrated. We should get a draw at least here if we fix our mistakes and Frank gets his tactics right.

I think they have a great squad. But also feel they are underperforming. They don't look cohesive at the moment.

We could cause an upset

Son vs Coleman.

Lol.

 

[zebedee]

Keep it tight compact.. you never know. I'm always the optimist but we need to be angry in their faces for the full 90 odd minutes. They don't like it up then!! COYB

 

[Tree13]

Son vs Coleman.

Lol.

I absolutely hate Son. I hate the fact he deliberately crippled Andre Gomes and got away with it. I hate that no-one's ever exacted any retribution for it.

We could win this game 3-0 and if Son finished the 90 minutes unharmed I'd still be furious.

 

[gedefc]

You never know, frustrate them, keep it tight - might have to consider Holgate at RB rather than coleman against Son

----------Pickford
Holgate Tarky Coady Myko
------------Gana
--------Onana Iwobi
---McNeil Maupay Gray

Give DCL half an hour, then maybe start him next game if hes ready

 

[allen]

Feel as worried about this one as I was confident about United.

So Everton win, then.
