Match Threads Spurs vs Brentford - Match Thread - EFL Cup Semifinal

[mightyspur]

They will surely go full strength. They had a rest at the weekend and have the fa cup up next.

I thought so, but they seem fairly adamant at least a few will be rested, or at least not starting. Championship schedule is fairly brutal and Promotion has to be their priority this season

José takes this competition very seriously. Plus with Marine at the weekend that is the game to rotate more. Go strong tonight please. No messing about.

I agree - think basically our best 11 will start and Marine will be the B team.

Be interested to see how Ivan Toney fairs against our defence. He's having a fine season thus far.

Reckon if we keep him quiet, we win this.

 

[glacierSpurs]

A win, at any cost, please.

I very much love to see Mourinho lead us out to a finals.

probably asked loads before, but this is 1 leg right?

That's right. All semi finals played over one leg to help fixture congestion

Buzzing for this match, just hope the boys do the job.

Brentford...the Bees.

Cover well and truly blown.

first chance at a major trophy final, no chance they rest there players

Had a dream this was called off with only the league remaining.

 

[SPURSLIFE]

Much more confident about this game than I was about the Leeds game. I fully expect them to come at us in the first half hour without them scoring. 0-0 at half time 2-0 to us full time.

I find it a bit odd that this is a major Cup semi-final, yet there's nothing on the BBC Sport home-page giving any build-up to the game.

The only mention is in the fixtures section.

This has banana skin written all over it, real hunger, in form, teamwork and the physical attributes that always causes us problems.

Have a real uneasy feeling about this one.

I know it's very tin-foil-hatty, but it's weird that there's absolutely no mention of it at the moment. Ususally there's a preview to a fixture, particularly if it's a big one, on the main front page.

Lol.

Most probably saving it in hope for the giant killing headlines tomorrow.

This is where Jose has earned his money, he'll have them ready for this.

Lets be honest, we will probably win this then lose the cup final.

Despite having outplayed and beaten both out prospective opponents already this season?

Don’t get me wrong , they are both good sides and we shouldn’t be cocky about facing either, but there is nothing to suggest we’ll probably lose either.
