Jamie Redknapp is a former Spurs and Southampton legend and can be trusted to not do us many favours when talking.

Funnily enough, that’s exactly what my doctor told me after an unfortunate ‘trouser accident’ involving a false widow spider.

Every team needs balance, that hasn’t gone out of fashion and never will.
Agreed. Think we'll defend a bit higher up, Mason will want us to keep the ball and go at them, rather than play the negative, cowardly stuff which we've done for 17 months. No more sitting back and inviting teams to attack our (weak) CBs!
If we can get a result tonight, despite having Vini up front, THFC could be a much happier place going into the end of the season. I'm not expecting top 4 - just some positive football and hopefully a go at a top 6 spot. I'd rather be in the EL than nothing, and we need those coefficient points for the new CL rule in a couple years' time!!!
He's said that he wants us to be brave and aggressive - interpret that however you like but its better than cowardly and defensive!
On the team, I was wondering about Bale - they have Bertrand at LB who is very attacking. Not sure we can have Bale RW

Highly likely we see Bale feature more now Mourinho has gone. Maybe he can end the season on a high.

He also said he wanted us to play like Tottenham, I hope it's not the 90's one.

Would anyone take a restrained performance tonight, with a view to hitting City at the weekend with an explosive performance? Don't really want to be showing our hand tonight do we? At this point in time, Pep does not have a clue what to expect in the final. I'd go full misinformation, Kane won't play and is fudged for City, numerous players limping off tonight etc.

I'd be happy with an under-the-radar 1-0, with lots of noticeable very positive togetherness/unshackled body language across the board.

This OMT during the match will sort that buzz out for you.I'm buzzing today. Rid of Mourinho, the ESL gonad*s ain't happening, it's spring. Corona crap hopefully over soon. Life's good. Get in, boys, get a win tonight.

It’s a tough one as it would be good to see an instant improvement and I’m sure Mason would love a good start but there has to be an eye on next week which may include players not looking to get injured for the final. It would be a bold move to play a weakened team but hope players try and see it as a chance to get the nod for involvement on Sunday.

I'm with you - setting aside the ESL, its great to have a sense of optimism back now that Jose has gone and be able to look to the future again. A win tonight would help build on that!
