Away goals count if it goes to extra time

No. There is no extra time even.

 

[spursfan77]

Just need to keep a clean sheet and we go through.

 

[pjspur1961]

Start with a 7-3-0 formation and sh!thouse our way to a 0-0

That would be fabulous!

They really should relax the law about only being allowed one keeper. It's outdated. Let both Hugo and Gazza go in goal and play without a striker.

 

[thebenjamin]

We're missing 3 of our 5 penalty takers.

 

[archiewasking]

Not to sure what to expect later. Can't say I'm confident, don't see where the goals will come from.

Chelsea.

I think we've got enough to at least get a draw tonight so I think we'll go through. We've got to treat it like it's 0-0 though, we're so shit at defending leads when we setup defensively and always fuck ourselves when we try to do it.

 

[Dannyspur]

Ah yeah, don't really remember the game besides the result.

I was also questioning the slight at Lloris' penalty-saving ability - as there seems to be a strange anti-lloris theme which keeps rearing its ugly head...

I am not anti - Lloris, he is a fantastic keeper. I just think he maybe dives a bit early on pens and strikers seem to find the opposite corner.

I just can't see us going through with the players available. It's certainly not a given but if you're a Chelsea fan, you must fancy your chances. I just hope we don't embarrass ourselves.

As always good luck to the team and management tonight ahead of a possible final awaiting us although I think it will be a struggle however coys.

Do you mean, except against Chelsea two weeks ago when we were completely under the cosh, and defended magnificently!

 

[yiddopaul]

They can't score goals, we have, pretty much a fully fit defence. We got this.

Will be interesting to see if Sarri plays with a false 9 or puts Giroud in, I hope he goes with Hazard as a false because I think we can cut off his supply and control the match.

 

[spurs mental]

Dier Wanyama Sissoko midfield 3. Just destroy the game. Go full Mourinho on them.

 

[JW_Spur]

Park the bus and hope Moura can use his pace on the counter to sneak a goal to send us though.

 

[jolsnogross]

It's difficult for us to press well with Llorente being so immobile. But I can't see us putting out a side without Llorente. In that case, we probably have to go with 3 at the back and wingbacks, because Llorente needs crosses to be of any use.

 

[EastLondonYid]

Tonight is gonna be tough... Chelshit are used to playing on Thursdays..

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

My mum just said 'Have Chelsea got a 1 point handicap because of the Tottenham injuries?'. Mums. LOL.

Well, if pressing is important to our game, then we could use Parrot or Sterling, or another youngster with legs and engine and desire. If the important thing is to be over 26 and have lots of Premiership experience, then we’ve got Llorente. It’s the kind of decision any top coach has to make all the time.

Then Gazza will have to save 4...
