Lets go back to the OG starting X1

 

[Mr Pink]

I mean they're all huge games now, but because we dont play the following weekend (United have Luton away and Fulham at home) we need to win this.

 

[Flynn]

Have to win this one. My uncle (80 year old wolves ST) died the day before the away game. Their winner was bitter sweet. 2 vicars at his funeral, both spurs fans. We agreed we’d let him have that one, but that one alone.

 

[Rjayspur]

Feels like we have a terrible record against wolves. I know we have won some but we should of won most our games against these.

They currently blow hot and cold and whatever I predict them to do they do, they do the opposite. I should probably put a few quid on them winning!

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Really hope Cunha is out for them.

Yeah he'll be a big miss.

Apparenrtly its a tight hamstring, and they're waiting for scan results.

If there's even the slightest strain (which there most likely was to force him off after 20 minutes) then he'll not be risked.

Its normally two weeks with minor hamstring tweaks.

So unless there's absolutely no damage, i cant see him making it for this Saturday.

We looked more rusty than anything else on Saturday. Maybe too many returning players and not enough run of games with them. Hopefully a bit sharper in this one and less time on the ball. I really hope we keep this scoring run going , Wolves were the last team to keep us out in the league. Hopefully we can get an early goal but if we score we need to keep it going and look for more.

 

[hughy]

Win at any cost. I'd take another scrappy one if necessary. With our unenviable end to the season it's absolutely vital we pick up as many points over the next few weeks as we can.

We paid back Brighton for inflicting an away defeat on us with Brennan's late winner on Saturday, now it's time to do the same to the only other team to have defeated us on the road all season in the Premier League. Inconsistent Wolves are that team, we were poor against them at Molineux but still looked set to escape out of the door with three wholly undeserved points from Johnson's early goal. Indeed if Gio hadn't unluckily hit the bar late on we definitely would have. As it turned out we waited until stoppage time and then switched off and conceded two goals to improbably lose the match. Gary O'Neill has done a great job there and will be making a plan to exploit the gaps we leave when we attack. This will principally involve Pedro Neto pulling wide and getting on the end of long passes I would think. Stop him and stop Wolves? I don't reckon that will be the main factor. Even if we can't stop him Wolves look far from watertight at the back- they shipped four at home to Man United (in a 3-4 loss), two away at Chelsea (in a 4-2 win) and another two at home to Brentford on the weekend while losing 0-2. We always score and are strengthened by the return of the xg king Sonny, while they get his Korea strike partner Chan back but they have lost the in-form Cunha to injury. Our squad is looking strong now and we have options off the bench that can hurt them even if they manage to keep the starting 11 quiet. I foresee a goal fest at the TH with a 90 minute performance because it's about time we were dominant and taking teams apart. I take Udogie and MVDV to pocket Neto and Romero to look after Chan as Sonny, Richy and Maddison enjoy themselves creating and finishing many chances while Wolves struggle for breath. Tottenham Hotspur 4 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1. COYS!

 

[Mr Pink]

Cunha definitely out.

Oneill provided an update saying the hamstring issue was significant.

 

[cjbyid]

Doesn't look like Destiny is training, I may also be completely blind.

 

[Mr Pink]

Just hope with Cunha being out they dont go even more defensive.

Sometimes these things backfire.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

I can't see Udogie in the training video either, that's a big worry. Really need his pace along with VdV to try and combat Neto.

 

[alfiemacdaddy]

Cunha definitely out.

Our for the rest of the season apparently

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Just hope with Cunha being out they dont go even more defensive.

Sometimes these things backfire.

We've scored against every opposition this season and scored 2+ goals in 19 out of 24 league games this season. The 5 games we haven't was either in the middle of our injury crisis or when we got players sent off.

If a key player is out for the opposition I'd prefer it to be an attacking rather than defensive one.

So would I, just saying sometimes it alters the opposition's approach.

I think we'll win either way, but i do think theyll opt for a more defensive approach.
