***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

Difficult to see a good performance or result coming right now. Several signs of some real negative spirals.

Things have been difficult before and turned around though. We know there's both quality and effort in this team. Hope this is a game we can turn it around in.
 
Away to Saudi Sportswashing Machine is not a game to turn your season around, its a tough place to go when you're in great form.
We will most likely lose, and it will most likely be ugly, so let's not build ourselves up with a load of 'we can win this' or this game defines our season nonsense. Perhaps we can avoid a post match meltdown, and microscopic dissection of one players' mistake, as if that's the reason we lost, rather than we're a work in progress. It's a marathon not a sprint.
 
Think I will be watching tonight's game with an eagle eye on body language. It's a compelling scenario for anyone deeply invested in this club. How is the coach gonna talk in the pre match interview. Will Porro and Vic start. How deep will we sit. Will Romeros return change things. How will our players react to the weekend. How will the away fans react.

Stressful and intriguing.

But it is though, even in defeat if the players are really up for it and give it a proper go it can be telling. As it also can if we go two down in the first few minutes and everything unravels. If there really is cracks in the foundation between the manager and players this is the sort of game that can galvanize it, or make everything come crumbeling down.

The team played well there in the cup and imo we were unlucky. That was a changed team but one that looked like it knew the job it was being asked to do, like the team did mid week too
That’s what we need to see

Agreed that we will most likely lose. We can definitely play rather well and lose there. But will we look clueless in the process or look like a competent footballing team.

Not wanting to build it up, but we can also win. Maybe we even can play better than we have in some of our recent games.
