Spurs V Hull- Saturday

el diablo

Ok lads, Hull next Saturday at home. Should be a home banker although they won 2-1 at the Lane last season.

I'm going for 3-0.

Was at the game last season and we were useless and they were on a roll - depressing day all round
Should be a handy enough game but with the results like stoke this season I'd be wary. Could be 5-0 but I'll setlle for 1-0 but I reckon it'll be 2-1

SuprSi

I don't care what way we do it but we need to win our next two league games, against Hull & Fulham. Both at home, both giving us a chance to maybe open up a gap between us and the rest.

No doubt Hull will study the Wolves & Stoke games and will play in the same way, we just have to hope that our lads are more up for it than they were in those two games and that they play better.

I'm going for 2 - 0, Nikko and Defoe.

+1.

And if things start to not go our way, i'd like Harry to change the formation to 3 at the back, or 3 upfront, something/anything to shake things up a bit. We know what Hull will do!! If we keep things the same and get more and more desperate it plays into these teams hands. Hopefully either Harry will have learnt how to deal with the Wolves/Stoke type situation.

Better still we we just score an early goal and put them away 4-0!

thats the one thing i use to like about ramos - he was never afraid to change things to chase a game

Dublin Spur

If we score early I'm going for 5-0
If we leave it a while then I reckon 2-0

A home banker? like stoke and wolves?! they beat us one nil last year at the lane, depressing game , was at it. Id take a one nil win.

It is being shown live on a few foreign channels but seeing that Chelski and Man U both have 3pm fixtures on Saturday, it may be difficult to find a pub that is showing it

Kold

^ Sopcast it is so.

What's the story with the Liverpool game? When's it recheduled for? Would have liked to get the 3 points right now while they're looking megash*t.

Yeah that's what I wanted too. The only positive is that Liverpool are away to Stoke and if they continue playing as they have they'll hopefully draw or lose it, meaning a win for us will pull us even further ahead of them.

everdead.ie

Liverpool drew so chance to open a 6 point gap before wednesday Never a better time then now for Bale to break his hodoo never started a game and won

Kold

Bale is playing well.

el diablo

Are Hull parking the bus? Let's hope it's not another Stoke/Wolves. :eek:

everdead.ie

Hull just playing to run the clock down Bale playing very well stand out so far Myhill made a few very good saves from palacios,Keane and defoe

SuprSi

I'm already getting nervous. We're all over them and their keeper is having a blinder. Defoe should've put that chance away though. Bale has been excellent though we should maybe consider bringing Crouch on soon to mix things up a little.

tippspur

Sounds familiar,Bus parked and keeper having a blinder:rolleyes:

SuprSi

And that's Wilson suspended for the Liverpool game.

tippspur

Another double save from the keeper,ffs !!

SuprSi

And Myhill again with a simply stunning double save. It's going to take something special to get past him. I wish Spurs were as pumped as he is!!

Ahh ****,you sure ?

SuprSi

Yup, he was on 4 before this game.

And Hunt to score a late winner for Hull. :mad:

Dave11

lads the game is available on atdhe.net if ya wanna watch it. I am!!!

i think they have changed that now lads - not 100 % sure , but if you get 5 bookings in the first half of the season you get suspended after christams its a letter and a warning

Hopefully! We'll need him against the Pool.

SuprSi

Myhill - man-of-the-f**king match. The prick!

SuprSi

What a load of absolute garbage. We absolutely pummelled them from start to finish. They had one chance and it wasn't even on target. They just sat back and defended and had one out of this world performance. I hate these poxy teams. Yet we can't seem to beat them at home. We've now lost 7 points at home to teams that could well be relegated this season. Absolutely not acceptable. I don't know what needs to be done to fix this but it's ruining our chances of getting into the top 4. We now need City to lose to prevent them going 4 points ahead of us.

Cack of the highest order.

everdead.ie

nil all full time

mushykeogh

more vital points dropped.

Kold

Come to the Lane, play 8 men at the back. ****sake.

ohnoigotsick

Balls to that

8 points lost at home to stoke wolves and hull - a nice reminder that liverpools game on wednesday wont be a foregone conclusion

StillRickyVilla

Just saw the last 30 mins there and that was pretty much the most 1-sided bit of football i've ever seen.

Cannot believe we couldn't score.

What else could we have done though with the players we had available?

everdead.ie

Teams think a point at the lane is good now so they sit back at the end Hull where playing a 5-5-0

tippspur

That's fair disappointing,same old story with these teams throwing everything into defending.Harry has to come up with some tactics to beat this kind of crap.but what can you do.:mad:

StillRickyVilla

Again our lack of a top top quality goal-scorer, just to put the ball in the back of the net lets us down. If Defoe doesn't do it, we are struggling.

The defence has kept its SIXTH clean-sheet in a row, the midfield dominated that game start to finish, its so frustrating if we had one extra special striker up there we would have won that game comfortably again.

Its really is so frustrating!

tippspur

Well at least Hull didn't get a late goal and win it thankfully, is that six clean sheets in a row for us now ? at least that's something going right.

Kastiel

This is just ****in typical, dropping points to the ****e teams that should be easily put away.

I really wish Jenas and Huddlestone would be ****ed off too. Just not the players you need for a top four challenge. Not just from todays performance mind you. I can't stand them. Huddlestone may have the odd good day, but he's nowhere near Wilson. Jenas always has and will resemble a headless chicken running around the field to me.

Am half put off by Crouch too, can get goals from headers, but doesn't score enough. Harry's method may be for him to knock it down for Defoe but that doesn't happen often enough either.

At the same time, all credit to Myhill.

This is the problem. Crouch is a 1 goal in 4 games man (with us its been more like 1 in 5 games). I don't care what anyone says, its just not good enough for a team looking to challenge Top 4. Its bloody goals that win games, not flick-ons.

everdead.ie

I thought that all the yellows didn't count after 1 jan So it started again? So we should have evryone available for wednesday.

Leucifer

I think all yellows are wiped at the start of the new year.

2 nil draw? :pac:

Everton beat City 2-0 so Spurs stay 4th for the moment.

Very poor result v Hull. I don't care how well the goalie played, no top 4 team will drop points at home to Hull (or Stoke or Wolves).

Better still,at least we remain 4th for now.

Lads, firstly can we be careful with the fruity language, dont want any complaints etc...Cheers.

Didn't see any of it, but heard there keeper was superb. More points dropped at home. Wednesday is a must win now. Talk about putting pressure on ourselves :rolleyes:

I said in another thread the other day that I didn't think we could string 5 or 6 wins together to put us right in the mix, unfortunately today proved this.

Dublin Spur

Watched it live in town
Should have won easily.
Just couldn't finish our chances.
When the finishes were good their keeper was outstanding.

Keane missed a nailed on tap in mid way through the 2nd half.
Everyone in the pub were cheering before he touched it.
Horrible miss

Defoe missed an easy one-on-one under no pressure in the 1st half.
It actually was a decent save but he never should have given the keeper a sniff of it.

All in all, it's a bit of a setback but no a total disaster. We can make ammends on Wednesday. I hope to Christ Lennon is back for that one. I still think 4th place will be decided on the last day and they we will need to beat Burnely and hope other results go our way.
