Tottenham Hotspur (A) pre match

[foxes_rule1978]

I find it hard to see how we win this one, Spurs play the type of football we don’t like and are the best at it... going to get well beaten I feel

Depends which Leicester City turn up. But on balance I think we'll get leathered.

Going to be furious if we lose to goals on the counter attack here, because everyone can see a mile off that's what will happen if we play our usual style.

 

On the other hand, they will probably score from set pieces so we are ****ed either way.

 

Can't see past a heavy defeat

Agree. 4-0 

[Bazly]

Not expecting any goals in this from LC unless we sneak a penalty or two. Has a home banker stamped all over it unless some kind of injection of drive, determination, guile and enthusiasm can be found in the next day or two.

We'll either win 1 nil or fall apart as soon as the kickoff whistle is blown.

 

Dont know who I'd play, some of the players need rotating like Fuchs (please dont play this bloke against Son or Bergwijn), possibly Tielemans and Justin.

 

Regarding attack, I imagine we'll see Praet and Maddison as our "wingers". Barnes was anonymous for 99% of the game yesterday and going by how often Ünder gets subbed despite being a threat, he'll be on the bench.

The problem is that if Timmy is not available then we probably have to play Fuchs either as a CB or LB because our only other option would be to play JJ at LB or as a third CB, meaning we'd have to deploy Albrighton at RWB up against Son, which is a terrifying thought.

Where going to get 👋🏻 Son and Kane definitely in my fantasy team for this weekend double points.

Mourinho has these bunch of numpties playing some of the most unappealing football ever.   

 

Joseball 2020.   Hope we smash 'em. 

 

 

[cruzFOX]

Jose will be licking his lips for this one. He's a wiley old cat so I know he'll have his defenders on guard to marshall vardy and Tielemans. Yep that son of a gun and hi dad Kane always seem to score on us especially when we leave acres of room for them to counter attack. This is one game where I don't know what is more scary; defending from a corner or going up the other end with everyone in the box waiting for one of our guys to try and put in a decent corner than getting cleared out only to land in the path of Kane & Son running full pelt towards Evans or Fofana. I'm already starting to sweat  

[FoyleFox]

Predictions have been an awkward experience this season as everyone is completely inconsistent (Sheff Utd aside). However, I predict this isn't going to go well for us.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Expect the usual playing Tottenham away on a Sunday afternoon, a 4 nil drubbing but if we are lucky Vardy might score an consolation goal towards the end.

I really like that line up,  and agree would be great for the rest of the season. However injuries are dragging on, what is going on with Castagne, he has had more time off than John Wayne's safety catch, when is he going to be fit again, Ricardo understandable with his op, Soyunchu understandable, but would be nice to get some positive news on when these guys will return.

Please prove me wrong, Leicester, but I feel we have no hope on Sunday.

I really don't understand why Under doesn't get a full 90 mins, has he upset BR, I'm sure there must be a legitimate reason. From what I've seen though, he is a real threat and should be given a bit more game time instead of being subbed all the time.

[harpendenfox]

I was most agitated by the enormous positivity in the match thread when the team was announced last night. Defeat was thus inevitable. 

 

This, however, is an almost universally negative thread. Chances of emerging with any better than a 5-0 defeat seem about as likely as the Government getting its shit together. 

 

I am, therefore, quietly confident for Sunday afternoon.

Looks that way. Brendan does not seem convinced at all, which is a shame. Thought he did okay last night, certainly in comparison with the other attacking players.

[TeamRocket]

Another loss, don't think we win having a good Christmas week and probably next win will come after New years to be honest who knows. Dont even know what OR who lcfc is/are anymore used be fearless, used be foxes never quit but now it seems we smash someone hopes are all high then lose 2 or 3 games but some how seem to stay 4th ish but you can't be to upset cos you can get called all sorts and even the fans have changed some moan, some cry, some don't know whats going on(me), some don't care, some care, some are scary and some are always happy(don't know how they do it). Anywho good luck to the foxes il still be watching

Shame - he definitely isn't our weakest link...

[Scotch]

We are not winning this one unfortunately.

Coming from Serie A, and worse not getting loads of games, he will have arrived well below the physical level required. Brendan has already stated his quality, it’s just a matter of conditioning
