Most of you probably don't know this, but I don't particularly like that little self obsessed North London club, unfortunately these games always seem to end horribly for us. However a result for us against these guys is huge for us, it will be huge for our signs of progress, we need a win.
We're on a great run of form, however we've played weak teams, with a weak middle, Spurs will not be this. Whilst attacking I think we'll do great, I dont particular rate Spurs in the defence, in the middle of the park and at the back we're really going to struggle. Dembele, Parker, Sandro which ever of those start, they're great players and they're going to make it very hard for us to play. A big weakness in our team is being bullied out of the middle, we really need Lucas to be on top form to help win this fight, as Dembele and Sandro are imposing players and wont give the midfield time to think, Allen will get shit all over. At the back, well we're lucky Defoe is injured and Johnson and Enrique are fit, because we're really going to need there pace to cover Lennon and Bale.
Our best tactic for this game is to attack and control the game, id play Suarez behind Sturridge with Coutinho and Downing out wide, with them both on watch Bale and Lennon duty. We need to control the ball and to stretch them, Sturridge will get results out of there centre backs, we just need to play the ball and not get caught on the counter, they'll slaughter us there.
If we win this, it'll be a huge statement to all the brilliant progress we've seen, I cant see us doing it though, there counter attack is just too lethal.
