    Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forrest
    3rd Round

    Tricky fixture, expect a fiery encounter from Pearce's side. We desperately need to put in a good performance going into Saturdays game.

    not sure a good performance wed night will make any difference to saturday but we should win this one - should !

    So presumably you fancy us to lose on Saturday? We might get a hiding on Saturday 3-0, or along those lines. Not due to arsenal being superior. Defensively I don't think I've seen us this bad in a long time. Or could I name who will be starting either.

    i think we will get creamed on saturday. Yes arsenal arent great at the moment but our players will likely fold early on

    Forest are flying high in the championship and we just lost at home to a bottom 3 epl team.

    There's only way this game is going and that's us out of the cup or worse off to forests ground for another mid week replay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,013 ✭✭✭davycc


    yea forest are flying high and on current form would be too much for our 1st team ,never mind our 2nd sh1tty cups team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 995 ✭✭✭Hammar


    Put out the Under 21's and see how they get on.
    Our delicate little flowers in the first team , can't seem to handle playing mid week games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    What is it, win four games to reach the final. Pretty quick route to pick up some silverware.
    Vorm surely has to play? A cb partnership of Dier & Jan. Soldado up front with Kane.

    Is that all it is? Crikey
    .. might be worth a punt so.

    Not 100%, always seemed like you play a few games..."semi final stage"
    It's been a barren few years, our supposed cup team status has evaded us? Season is gonna be a tough one, reaching a final would be a welcomed distraction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭Hatch99


    It's a cup so let's try win it COYS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Vorm
    Naughton Fazio Vertonghen Davies
    Chadli Stambouli Dembele Lennon
    Lamela
    Soldado


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Devo from Dublin


    Soldado HAS to play 90 mins.
    And the next few games too!
    He was on the pitch for 30 mins i think it was against WBA, and considering his lack of match sharpness, i thought he showed with the near post shot on the half turn, he knows where the goal is.... Why not play him tonight, where you would think we'll create chances, and he can bang them in.
    Give him until Christmas, should score at least 10 goals, if not, sell him in January.

    Play Lloris instead of Vorm and I'm happy

    Why not play Vorm in the League cup?
    They way things are going Hugo will probably leave next summer,so we need to see as much of Vorm as we can.

    Gotta play him, unless he's there to shine Hugo's boots? He's not played in a while, may be a tad rusty. All the same I rate him highly, plus Lloris deserves a night off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    #THFC team: Vorm, Naughton, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Stambouli; Lennon (c), Paulinho, Townsend; Soldado. #COYS

    Pretty happy. Paulinho & Townsend not so much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭yiddo59


    subs: Friedel, Chiriches, Dier, Mason, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane
    So Lloris can stay at home and watch Corrie :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Wouldn't mind seeing Mason at some stage.

    strong team alright bar paulinhoo and the next gareth bale chap,,, hope we can nick a win inside the 90 mins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    It'll be down to Townsend and Lennon to create the chances for Soldado, don't see Bentaleb or Paulinho doing much. Stambouli is an unknown?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Absolutely no pace in the team....zilch....Nor any creativity. God help Soldado.

    Lennon and Townsend are both fast.

    I agree with you on creativity though. Hard to see us scoring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Good god... Forrest first attack.. Should of been a goal, and a beauty at that. Bentaleb is like a mannequin. Sideways passing at its best.

    I feel sorry for him, chance to maybe shine, not with that midfield. Lennon our best bet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Were gonna get mauled on Saturday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    There's no width, everyone is coming inside, its barmy I tells ya!

    We had 70% possession, but they have the first actual shot of the game.

    Just like Liverpool last night, possession will never win a match. We need shots. We need goals!

    Very frustrating.

    Stambouli loves a tackle and putting his weight around. Great to see!

    30 minutes gone, Forrest keeper may as well be down the kebab shop.

    Probably in with a shout for Saturday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 609 ✭✭✭Left Back on the Bench


    Poch is gonna have his work cut out.

    We're not pressing, hopeless passing, defence all over the shop as usual n no counter attack.

    Arsenal will be licking their lips

    I think Nabil has done ok. Still only 19.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭DubPerryman


    Why oh why do mangers play Townsend on the right?! Surely they watch the matches we watch..... And there's no way he's ever scored I'm training!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,932 ✭✭✭SuprSi


    What is the point of having any players beyond Townsend when he has the ball? Everybody else might as well start trotting towards the halfway line as he's gonna shoot regardless of which foot he's using or whether the shot is actually on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Set pieces & corners, yet still no one can actually produce a half decent ball. And there's another spectacular Townsend shot. Has Soldado has any service...nope. If Forrest actually go for this in the 2nd then they'll win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,916 ✭✭✭Ormus


    It's disgraceful how Paulinho pulls out of tackles. I can't stand watching him.

    There's no way he's Brazilian. He's a faker, more likely to come from the Isle of Man.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,364 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Townsend is beyond help. Surely AVB, TS and now Poch have tried to get him to vary his game a bit ...He's spurs true and true which makes it harder to swallow but he's beyond saving now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Get Paulinho off and Lamela on, or another striker. I fell the early stages of a hemorrhoid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,944 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    What the ****, pass the fúcking ball forward you shower of shíts.

    Kane or Lamela on for Paulinho, the pansy!

    You nearly double jinxed him!
