Tottenham Vs West Ham: Match Thread

[SteveH]

COYS We can do this!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Not sure what to expect from this..

Feels like we are due a dreadful performance from our lot.

Especially after the Thursday Europa game.

It seems whenever our rivals drop points, we never take advantage. I am worried about this game.

You can guarantee fat sams gameplan will be to put in some dirty tackles in the first 5 minutes as to put some doubt into our players minds that they may miss the final if they aren't careful. We already know his game plan as he practically wanked himself off in the press conference last year after he "masterminded" the victory.

 

[TimmyShee]

Well you can be sure the Pikeys will be up for their cup final, we'll have to match that desire to get the win. Hope the Lane is rocking at kick off cause we will need a similar start to the Fiorentina game , I'm a little concerned with the midday KO cause it often is a little dull at the beginning of these KO times and we need a strong start.

 

[Mr Pink]

We've no excuse with the players Poch rested. Huge game but after United dropping points today its simply a massive opportunity that we must take.

They're not great at the back but will offer a threat coming forward.

2-1 for me, just about getting there in the end.

 

[JohannTHFC]

West Hams biggest game of the season and their cup final. They will put everything into this game so they can print the scoreline on their t-shirts and mugs at the end of the season. Won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[neptunes]

I am more than sure that our boys will be fired up as much as the adversary and with yanited dropping points they should be more motivated. MOPO will see to that.

COYFS big 3 points tomorrow.

Malta Spurs boys making all the noise........

Seems set up for us to start slow get frustrated and concede upon letting W'ham grow into the game

We've had many of these opportunities this season and we never seem to make use of them. A lot of these 'opportunities' have also been presented to us when we have home games against teams lower than us. If we'd actually taken them, we'd be in a fantastic position.

 

[prawnsandwich]

I sincerely hope Lamela does not feature in this game.
It would be nice not to get a player sent off for a change-but I have a horrible feeling that young Erik will be targeted by BFS.

Yes but a lot of those opportunities were well before the real improvement we've seen in recent weeks. For me its pretty simple, if we hit the heights we have been recently, performance wise, we have an excellent chance of taking this opportunity.

The only thing that has me nervous about tomorrow, despite the changes Poch made, is we have a woeful record after playing in the Europa League.

I'm actually frightened by the prospect of a poor result, because it would undo all of the good work in recent weeks, and some people may question if the excellent performances were actually not now the norm, but were simply the result of us being involved in big games.

Yeah, this game is massive IMO, if we're serious about top 4. Just can't afford to throw winnable points away at this stage, its that simple.

Yes its quite a tough game but its all about how we start. I say it time and time again but if we start aggressively it sets the tone, if we start in a limp sort of way we all know what invariably happens.

Crucial Poch has them fired up to start quickly - which also ensures West Ham don't settle down and grow into the game.

Pity its an early kick off...MNF would of been a god send for us this week, with more rest and a much better atmosphere etc.

But all about how we start, first 10 minutes will reveal all IMO.

Even if we do have a good start, we always seem to collapse when we score the first goal as we forget how to defend and how to play football.

Last few games in the League were different to that of Thursday night. But we can't afford any sloppy mistakes tomorrow. Need to be switched on and aggressive from the start.

Anyway lets hope we do well, its a huge game. Nervous myself.

 

[Strikeb4ck]

Same post-Europa dross as always is what I am unfortunately expecting. Another 1-1. More likely to lose than win.

They have a good side if they can put out Sakho, Valencia, Downing, and Song in that 4312.

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

If I could have three wishes, my last one would be that WH ceased to be. I hate those pikey ring pieces. Winning by three goals will be my only happiness tomorrow.

 

[yankspurs]

Massive game. Absolutely huge. Need to win this. The 3 points would be BIG at this point in time.


It's the spammers 2nd cup final, too

 

[chinaman]

Kane will see to us winning this.
