Tottenham Vs Bournemouth: Match Thread

[Spurger King]

Bournemouth are a very good team. I saw a form table from like december 1 through now i believe it was and they were 3rd !!

Cannot afford to take them lightly. MUCH better team than they were when we smashed them at their place. Also, Boruc is a much better keeper than Federici.

Play the best XI we have.

Lloris
Walker Alderweireld Wimmer Rose
Dier Dembele
Lamela Alli Eriksen
Kane

Vorm, Trippier, Mason, Carroll, Onomah, Chadli, Son

It's pretty obvious that we'll play the best team we have. We have nothing else to play for so it's 100% from here on out.

Thinking the same thing this morning. Well overdue

I think the same. Feel many of our key players have had a rest, or partial rest, from the almost season-long schedule of two games a week the last couple of weeks, and they will be recharged. Poch's made sure we have a motivated squad, and I don't think anyone in the PL can live us when we have the actual energy resources to support that drive and desire. Think we'll really take it to them, and hopefully take our chances tomorrow.

Let's go boys. From today on it's full hands on the throttle and give it your 200%. And than come what may. Enjoy the ride and adrenaline of each game. COYFS make us proud.

Our chances of winning the league are slim

We absolutely have to win today against an in form Bournemouth team to sustain that slim chance

Lose or draw and I will be more concerned at Arsenal being on our shoulders than us catching Leicester

I'm confident we will get the result we need today, we have to

 

[dickieven]

Win all our remaining games and we'll be champions I would think. That's all we need to do, easy really! We should forget about everyone else, just do as Poch and the players have been doing and saying all year, take one game at a time and try to win it. Let other teams do the worrying, just enjoy the ride.

Boruc was in goal against us at their place. Had a shocker!

 

[lis spur]

Playing a decent team today, come on lads lets keep it going secure CL and you never know!!!

 

[gushayes11]

I think it'll be an open game, they won't sit back, Eriksen will get more space than usual at home. We'll be fired up. 5-1 again!

 

[Grey Fox]

Going to this today, anyone else going , can we make some noise today. I have a horrible feeling that the atmosphere is going to be flat after results yesterday mixed with expectations of an easy game

 

[Japhet]

3 points from this one or else I can't see us catching Leicester. We'll also be looking over our shoulder.

 

[dwaynedibley]

Make no mistake, anyone expecting them to roll over or us to win by a wide margin are going to get a rude awakening today. They are on a good run, compact and well organised and it's exactly this type of team that we struggle so badly to break down, will be very hard going today.

I believe we still will get a win, though hard earned.

 

[Setzthree]

5-2.

 

[stevenurse]

Always bit nervous of any spurs game right now but if they play their usual game it should hopefully play into our hands.

Yes they have won a few in a row but have played absolute muck and have still conceded goals. I can't see us not scoring and my head says 3-0 or 3-1.

It really is a must win, a united win today would be a pretty perfect Sunday.

(I'm already concerned I've already jinxed us though)

 

[Gbspurs]

Everyone (not just us but media etc) are thinking this is a nailed on spurs win. That worries me greatly. I'd be surprised if we had played a more "pressured" game this season and I bet the athmosphere at the ground will reflect that if we don't score early.

I'd take a 1 nil win right now tbh, points are all that matters now I don't want to get sucked in by Arsenal and we need to keep the pressure on Leicester. Nothing would be worse then Leicester slipping up like we have all been expecting only for us to be nowhere near close enough to do anything about it.

We have to win every game this season, and we are capable of doing that so let's fucking go get them.

 

[shelfboy68]

Have a feeling this might be tougher than some expect i think it may end up a draw but heres hoping to be wrong and we get the win to keep the pressure on.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Every game will be tough from now on with so much to gain and so much more to lose. I want and expect a win today,

However this year the only teams they've beaten are Norwich, Palace, Southampton, Newcastle and Swansea. With the exception of Southampton all those teams have been on shit runs.

 

[longtimespur]

Hard game to call for me. Bournemouth are unbeaten away this year I believe I read.
Hope the result on Thursday gives the team more impetus to do well and boost their confidence with a good win.
No point worrying about any other team all we can do is win our games (one at a time) and see where we finish.
COYS not long left to finish top.

I'm worried about today if we don't take them seriously, because they are a much better team than before. It's essential that we get a win, because this international break may work in our favour by halting their momentum.
