***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Boro***

Toque be, or not toque be. That, like, is the question, eh?

10) Boro could be thorny opponents for Rose-less Spurs
Danny Rose could prove a significant loss to Spurs if his knee injury keeps him out of action for many matches but Mauricio Pochettino will be confident that his team can cope without their No1 left-back this weekend, at least. Rose did not play when Spurs outclassed Middlesbrough to win at the Riverside in September. On the other hand, Aitor Karanka knows that Boro’s best spell in that match came in the last half an hour after the introduction of Adama Traoré, whose thrust on the counterattack could help the visitors exploit Rose’s absence at White Hart Lane. Boro may not have won away in the league since their first game on the road this season against Sunderland but they have demonstrated their ability to keep things tight away to the top teams, having drawn at Emirates Marketing Project and been on the brink of victory at Manchester United before conceding twice in the last five minutes. Spurs will have to be clinical to avoid being frustrated by a north-east team for the second time in this week. PD

ok, you've beaten me, i've read that four times and I can't see the hat pun, where is it?
 
Hats off to you all but time now to pin down details for tomorrow.
Boro have been having a bit of a turbanulant season but we've mostly been top of our game.

It's a worry having both Rose and Verts out, but thankfully Toby will be there to direct and keep order.
Back three, and the team pretty much picks itself.
Son, GKN (is he fit, or injured from the weekend?) and Janssen as options from the bench.

4-1 Spurs.
Janssen to crown the win with a goal from open play.
 
Currently watching a recording of the city game from the lane. I would go with the same formation as we did then. We played a back 4 with Wanyama in front, then 4 in the middle; Sissoko, Alli, Eriksen and Lamela and Son up front. We could play the same, just with Son replacing Lamela and Kane up front.
 
Boro have been playing 433. Our 3 at the back was undone by city's 433 in the first half an hour.
A huge problem with be Traore up against Davies.

Against Sunderland we had no one on the bench to come on and actually pose a threat and change things.
We need to keep Son as that impact player.

Lloris
Walker Dier Alderweireld Davies
Wanyama
Winks Dembele
Eriksen Kane Alli

433/4123/41221 whatever you want to call it.
