At least Spurs know exactly what they have to do when they take to the field in Basel tomorrow night for our second leg quarter final tie against the Swiss side. Unless the game finishes in an unlikely high scoring draw, only a win will suffice and despite being outplayed for much of the first game, Gylfi Sigurdsson believes that the club can actually draw confidence from their performance that night.
“We managed to get back into the tie by drawing the game and now it’s down to us,” Gylfi said.
“We know what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to attack them and win the game, whether that’s in the first minute or the last. The important thing is to be in the hat for the next round.”
Sigurdsson also feels that the simplicity of the equation will help Spurs on the night but do we have enough within the squad to take the victory that we need? The draw with Everton on Sunday may actually give the side greater confidence in a game that they really should have won.
That performance surely must prove to them that they can win without Bale, Lennon and Defoe and that’s what they must do to keep hopes of silverware alive.
unlikely boys unlikely, I’m a much better bet if you want to score big. HHXX
The major thing lacking–and it has been there most of the season is the lack of a real playmaker in mid-field. Young Caroll made a big impact in his 10 minutes against Everton and we need someone of his ilk to play behind the forwards. Dembele can do it but he is not being pushed forward and Parker has his strengths but that is not his role
Team against should be
Lloris
walker caulker dawson vertonghen
dembele parker carroll huddlestone siggurdson
adebayor
Dont know what else we can do with our Injury problems
Friedal nuaghton cualker kaboul (if fit enough) ekkoto holtby Carroll huddlestone sigurdson dembele Adebayor. Parker needs a rest that could be seen against Everton on Sunday and huddlestone and Carroll deserve a chance to shine
IM FED UP OF THIS FUCKING LEVY TWAT WHO WRECKS OUR CLUB EACH YEAR. JUST FUCKIN RESIGN OR SPEND SOME FUCKIN MONEY YOU TIGHT BASTARD
