juninho9 35 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Think we'll go with same XI we played against WBA. Defensive lineup needed against Spurs. Maybe see Chambers on the bench. Hope Traore stays on the right if any changes are made mid-game. Looked ineffective on the left... maybe he was just tired. Link to post Share on other sites
Betamaxman 14 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 I think Spurs are better than United DS, but I get your point. Swansea also went to Liverpool and won. Burnley beat Liverpool at home. Watford won away at ***nal. I think Palace and Hull both beat Southampton. Sooner or later we need to take a top-half scalp.

Stronger on the right and looked very tired. He looked good on the left vs. Accrington but that's entirely different to playing against Walker/Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites

p_mards 1,365 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Vertonghen is injured so both of Spurs CB's, Dier and Alderweireld, are right footed so that should help Traore on the counterattack taking on the left sided CB when Rose is upfield. I'd stick with the same forward three. Link to post Share on other sites

Stronger on the right and looked very tired. He looked good on the left vs. Accrington but that's entirely different to playing against Walker/Trippier. He didn't really get to challenge Nyom either. I'd prefer him on the right as well, he doesn't seem to be willing to take a shot from distance. Hopefully, he adds that to his game eventually. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think this is a game when we all expect nothing so anything gained is a bonus, just looking for a good , honest performance and see if that can lead to anything. Probably need 17 points from 15 games to avoid relegation, any point here would be excellent. We went to ***nal, Man City and got a point,almost got so muxh more from Man Utd so who knows. UTB!

I'd stick with the same forward three. Rose is out injured, so it will be Davies. Davies is good, but not as quick as Rose, and certainly not as quick as Traore. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroDave4 1,023 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Same starting 11 as west brom for me, partly because we played quite well and partly due to a lack of options with Friend, Chambo and Gaston unavailable. I think our usual style is actually perfectly set up for this type of game, keep it tight and try to nick something, as we've shown at ***nal, City and we were only a few minutes away at Man U. I have a sneaky suspicion we can get a point here, although I'll imagine it won't be a classic for the neutrals. A point would he a very good result so I'm going for a 0-0 or maybe even a crazy 1-1. If we score, I'll go Stuani. Link to post Share on other sites
