Can't really see a win , terrible football, low confidence and post Europa fixture

Could say the same about Southampton at the moment. No Europa, but played midweek and lost to a Championship side (with their strongest team).

Tough one to call for me. Need a bit of luck to fall away a la the Gooners yesterday, I think.

Depends which Spurs show up. I’m hoping another week has seen our match fitness improve and we actually compete in midfield.

Would be great to see NDombele get 70-80 minutes without running out of puff.

Hopefully the new signings have given the team a huge lift, we need to see a big improvement today if its more of the same disjointed lethargic mess ill be getting concerned.

They play with 2 strikers up top, plenty of room in the midfield to exploit them, I wish we would start with GLC and Ndombele and dominate that part of the pitch.

Just hoping sissoko doesn’t start. He can start in one of the mid week games instead. We need more quality on the ball today.

Hopefully with Bale and Reguilon now in the team (not for today) it kicks a few players into gear, or they will be sat on the bench for a while.

This is a toss of a coin for me. Can't see either team as a clear favourite.

It would be nice to show some fucking balls and get a couple of early goals. The Leicester game at the end of last season brought back times when we would regularly do that, and just be able to sit back and chill second half. One of those games please!

I think the only way we win is if we get the first goal. Go behind in this game and what little hope I have ish rather quickly.

Seriously he did show a sparkle or two of talent on Thursday, would love to see more.
Agree, I'd like to see him (or GLC if available) start. Get on top and in front early, then take him off.
Start slow with a Winks or Sissoko & Hojbjerg and it'll be the same stagnant sideways, backwards, look mum I'm recycling the ball, check out the possesion stat, not jad a shot in 20mins, boring shit we've been seeing.
Why would it be any different?
Ndombele or GLC have to start every match or its deja vu time.

Thats the main problem with Mourinhos style of defend and nick a goal. Once you're behind its very hard to suddenly change pace and go at a team sitting back with a lead.
We'll see how we're playing once the new boys settle and everyones fit.
Today isnt a bed wetter whatever the result.

Can't afford to let other teams (specifically Arsenal) get a 6 point lead on us already, as much for mental reasons than footballing ones.

A must win imo.
