Ever_the_optimist 41 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 My Spurs supporting colleague says they have a couple of key players out injured which means they will be forced into a formation change that doesn't offer much going forward so he's not so confident of a win for them, so I'm going to be optimistic and go for a 0-0.

GwenStuani 4 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I like rampant. rampant means gaping holes! If we are strong defensively we have a great chance. All heart though. 2 goals in this at the most. get your money on under 2.5 goals. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I like rampant. rampant means gaping holes! If we are strong defensively we have a great chance. All heart though. 2 goals in this at the most. get your money on under 2.5 goals. I don't see how rampant means gaping holes. Link to post Share on other sites
GwenStuani 4 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 My vision of rampant is throwing as many people pushing forward therefore scoring many many goals, like a constant onslaught... leaving room to counter. I now realize you now just mean "Too Good" which is fair enough. My bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 By the way it's Mark Clattenburg reffing on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites
Nics 8 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Heart says 1-1, head says 3-1 Spurs. I'd love it if we could get Gaston in the XI for this. With him and Traore on form, we could have a chance of an ***nal repeat. On his squad's fitness and availability: "Gaston Ramirez is still recovering. I hope he can be training with us next week, maybe Monday or Tuesday" From t http://www.mfc.co.uk/news/article/2016/middlesbrough-fc-boro-aitor-karanka-press-conference-spurs-3551757.aspx#TAZzusoJMcIZU3VI.99 Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 If Hull can draw at Old Trafford then I see no reason we can not draw at White Hart Lane Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Chambers back is great news Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Chambers isn't certainly back, is he? Presser said he's not 100% so not sure or something, didn't it? Hopeful but not sure if he will. Pretty much how I feel about him coming back too. :) Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think we need to go to win and we might end up with a draw so my line up would be .......................................Valdes......................................... Fabio............Gibson.........Chambers (if fit)..........Friend ......................Leadbitter....De Roon................................ Troare...........................Bamford.............................Downing .....................................Negredo............................................. Crucially with this we can get goals even from our cdms while still protecting the back four. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It'll be 4-3-3 for the rest of the season. Especially after we've just spent money on another midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 It'll be 4-3-3 for the rest of the season. Especially after we've just spent money on another midfielder. Yes, think you're right on that. I'd really like to see this team, but it's asking a lot with things as they are (injuries/Ramirez): ------------------- Valdes --------------------- -- Fabio -- Chambers -- Gibson -- Friend ---------- De Roon --- Clayton ------------ ---------------- Guedioura ------------------- --- Traore ------------------- Ramirez ------ ---------------- Negredo --------------------- Link to post Share on other sites
BoroDave4 973 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Does anyone know how the knock Gorgeous took against Stanley is looking? Would be good to have him in contention although admittedly I though Barragan actually had a solid enough game Tuesday Edit: nevermind just saw that AK said he's ruled out Link to post Share on other sites

I would play Forshaw instead of one of Clayton or de Roon against the weaker sides though. Link to post Share on other sites
ChipBarrington 313 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Id go for: Valdes Barragan Chambers Gibson Fabio Clayton DeRoon Forshaw Downing Traore Gestede Shore up the centre, win back possesion and get the ball wide asap and whip it in. Gestede could clear all their corners too hopefully Link to post Share on other sites
