*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal FC ***

Should've started Johnson, IMO.

Kulu and PEH suggests packing the midfield without the ball, and give a different transition up the pitch.
Davies will step in a bit, but is a passer not a dynamic like Udogie.
I think we'll see Kulu or Madds dropping, with the other sitting in the hole as a short link and Werner and Son with the longer option to exploit any space they leave.

Midfield is their biggest strength. We'll look to nulify that and then get at them.
No quite counter attack, but not a million miles away from it in mentality and structure.

Højbjerg to man mark Ødegaard.

It's spelt kick

Can I assume that, as that utter clamhole of a club has the nerve to still play him, we'll be singing "Thomas Partey, you're the greatest"? Or at least something the commentators will mistake for that?

It looks like we are going to play it safe, or at least give them nothing for the first 30mins (the goons do start strongly)..then test their confidence/energy (like Villa did) with weapons from the bench.

I wonder which delight we'll have on commentary today?

Partey starts?
Like it or not, we're gonna get fuked

Dream team of Alan Smith, Gunnersaurus and Campbell on comms, with Wenger and Henry to provide balance on the punditry side of things...

I'm going to make a wild statement here, it'd be good to get a win here. Ange should tell the team that in the pre match team talk, it's been a decent weekend, let's not have Spurs back to ruining weekends like a fortnight ago.

Depends if Van Persie is on translation duties or not

 

[monkeybarry]

Merson - "running at them like the Red Arrows"......

He gets to vote.

 

[monkeybarry]

I actually fancy Ben Davies to do a good job on Saka.
If Ange asks Davies to play like Udogie, then he's an idiot. But I don't think he is, and we'll play slightly differently to how everyone expects.

Anyone know of any footy of interest on today?!

There's a game on at 2pm....Bournemouth v Brighton I believe

 

[monkeybarry]

Would have liked to have seen Moore on the bench over Gil…

Moore?

Yeah, the youngster that has been training with the first team over the last week.

Interesting vibe in the ground
Some people lary
Some scared
Typical spurs fans I guess
