Anyone not doing this who I might be able to use their points? Looking for a few tickets - but primarily for myself as imagine it will be difficult to get many together!

If you have not had any other offers then you can use my number - only got 1000 points, but that's on from Monday if they have not already gone.

PM me if needed

I've got 1020, feel free to use mine if there are any tickets left.

 

[YoungWolf]

All sold I think mate but thank you!

 

[SSB]

On the train for this one. Hoping for a day free of engineering works and bus replacements.

Cavaleiro has to come in for Traore.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

They have stuffed their last two opponents. Third time unlucky?

 

[sycophantia]

They are on fire atm, scoring for fun but noticed a couple of the early goals in their last 2 games have come via deflections which got them going, also we are much more compact at the back compared to Bournemouth and Everton. Of course they are in such good form and confidence is high so we might get spanked, but I'm cautiously optimistic

 

[Siggy]

They are in good form but if we are at our best we can at the very least give them a game. Hopefully Jota returns in place of Traore and I imagine Neves will come in for Saiss otherwise I think we will be unchanged.

I am going to be optimistic for once and say we will win 2-1 goals from Jiminez and Jota.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think we need Saiss here (plus he has been superb since he came into midfield).

 

[White Wolf]

Since they lost to City in late October Tottenham have only failed to win two games in all competitions - draw away to Barca and a loss to Arsenal, they're in really good form. I'll go for a narrow loss but a good performance - 1-0 Spurs.

I'd bring Neves back as he can do a good job for us defensively and we can give Moutinho a rest. Cav in for Traore.

 

[Tony Towner]

Same formation as yesterday, wrong then, but correct for this. Only change I'd make is Jota or Cav for Traore. The former has a chance apparently. That said I expect Neves to play and MGW not to.

 

[StuardoWulf]

--------Rui---------
Bennett-Coady-Boly
Doc-Neves-Saiss-Jonny
---------Moutinho-----
Raul---------------Jota(Cav)

 

[Johnny75]

--------Rui---------
Bennett-Coady-Boly
Doc-Neves-Saiss-Jonny
---------Moutinho-----
Raul---------------Jota(Cav)

That would be my team too. Although MGW wouldn't be bad in the 10 role either. Sissoko and Winks aren't known for their toughness or ability so he might do well against them.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I wasn't keen on Joao in the #10 vs Liverpool, he was however superb in the second half yesterday.

So for me, Ruben has to wait. He'll cope.

 

[YoungWolf]

I think Ruben will almost certainly come back in. Nuno has already talked about how tough the run of fixtures is on the squad. Saiss did well but I thought some of his defensive positioning was poor (compared to how Ruben usually plays the role anyway)

 

[sycophantia]

Stuardos team is the one I'd go for although wouldn't be unhappy with MGW at 10. Saiss has to play imo and Traore definately not, Jota or Cav instead

 

[b3h]

Same team. Think MGW will be better as impact sub for Neves or Moutinho in this one.

Vinagre for Jonny is a really good sub isn't it. Immediatley stretches play on that side.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Think that I would start with the team v Fulham but Cav instead of Traore as he has better defensive qualities and actually knows where he is on the pitch

Neves & Saiss sitting & either Moutinho or MGW in the 10 role

 

[Deleted Cyber]

I may as well end the year on a high!

Spurs havent drawn a game all season. The law of averages means that has to change. Their last home draw was 4th January 1-1 with West Ham. So we are in for a point.

Patricio

Bennett Coady Boly

Doherty Neves Saiss Otto
Moutinho

Raul Cavaliero

Going for 2-2

Spurs drew at home in 2018 with Watford in the EFL cup so their draws are West Ham , Watford and possibly Wolves? the W factor?

The Watford game was played at MK Dons formerly Wimbledon?
