Spurs have been hitting a bit of a slump in the last few weeks, Everton on the otherhand have improved in the New Year. Looks like Modric will play out on the left, which I wouldn't prefer. Hopefully it won't be a snorefest.

Spurs to win, 2-0.

Fancy a draw.

Come on spurs big 3 points needed here going to be a tight game id say....2-1 spurs

everdead.ie

I think 2-2 but I wouldn't be surprised if we lost evertons physical style always seems to upset us.

Raskolnikov

Cagey from both teams so far.

electrobanana

Balls..nice finish tbf

Oranage2

YESSSS come on the Everton

Pepe LeFrits

Great goal.

amacachi

When a ball is played through like that ya just know something's going to come of it.

Hold on til the end please Everton!

Raskolnikov

Harry got the tactics wrong, should have went 433 with Modric in the middle.

Oranage2

That Bale chap is clown!

Raskolnikov

Awful from Spurs, looks like even 4th place is under threat now.

Pepe LeFrits

hahaha Adebayor.

staker

Dope Ade, just get on with it:rolleyes:

Redzer7

Come on Everton!

Laois_Man

Plenty of signs here of why Spurs have conceeded so many goals in the last couple of weeks. Everton need to look forward and not sit back - something they're regularly guilty of doing.

There's more goals for us in this

Come on you blues!!!!

If Spurs continue like this they can kiss good bye to CL football.
Only thing saving them is that Chelsea and Liverpool are just as bad in the run in.

Bale 'avoiding' injury again there

They will stumble over the finishing line, thanks to Arsenal and Chelsea's lack of consistency. Liverpool will be doing well to hold on to 7th. Newcastle have a woeful defence.

Funniest thing about all this is that harry was genuinely convinced they could win the title. Dream on, they'll do well to get top 4. Hope Bale goes to Spain in the Summer, his play acting would be very suited to el classico

They'd win one week and 'Arry would say there's no reason they can't win the title. Then they'd lose the next and 'Arry would say it's crazy to suggest they can win the title with their squad

So??

IMO, the top teams have to aim and believe that they can win the league, whats the point otherwise? On top of needing quality, teams need belief as well.

A top 4 finish aim would have been a lot more realistic, if they finish top 4 this season it'll be because of Chelsea and Liverpool's best efforts to get Europa League football rather than CL

I'd call it more delusion than ambition.

Hope Arsenal catch them now! Feckin' Yids!

Give over they've never won the PL and they're not about to start, since they didn't make top 4 last year that should have been they're aim this year not even Wenger or dalglish would've truly believed they'd win the league at any stage this season

Stop picking on poor Spurs.

Dear Spurs,

That sensation you are feeling is called "choking".

Don't panic.

We're coming to get you.

How Arsenal have changed their tune after a couple of results. A few weeks back it was Wenger out.

How Arsenal have changed their tune? Don't paint us all with the one brush i've never said Wenger out or nothing like it, it was the small majority of our fans, and like it or lump they're entitled to their opinion too.

cgpg5

Not many genuine gooners wanted Wenger out. One thing, I just noticed Spurs' run in. Bar Sunderland and Chelsea away all the rest of their games are extremely winnable, wouldn't shock me if they choked in a few of them though.

Astonishing miss by the ref at the end, considering he was no more than a couple of yards away. Another very odd selection by Harry always looked like contining the death spiral; I thought it was made for VDV's guile.. but the lack of cover on both sides has really cost us, when we play narrow we are very predictable.
The first XI of Spurs is good enough to compete for the title, the problems start when key players are missing, Bale, Luka, Lennon & the injuries at the back have really made us look suspect when I think we have as good a back 5 as anyone in the league.
