Spurs v Norwich City. St Stephens Day, 3pm

slegs

Good game I think. Norwich in a bit of form but we should be putting them away comfortably at home.

Lloris
Walker-Vertonghen-Alderweireld-Davies
Dier-Alli
Lamela-Dembele-Son
Kane

Think Eriksen needs to be dropped to bench as he has been poor for quite a few games now. Son deserves a go.

Spurs 3-1

Kane 2 Son 1

Liverpool playing Lecister and United,Chelsea,Arsenal all have somewhat tricky games. Win is massive.

Yeah we could really enter this title race with a couple of wins before the new year.

2nd Row Donkey

Home match against a poor team who we should beat comfortably if we are serious about top 4 this year.

Now where have I heard that before?

...oh yeah, about 12-13 days ago vs. Newcastle.

I think Poch will rest a few players and it'll be a disjointed performance. Score draw. 1-1 or 2-2

Kiith

3-0 to Spurs.

2nd Row Donkey

3-3 more like. There's always a bonkers game full of goals on st Stephens day and I think it could be us.

Agree with 2nd row donkey about this being the type of game we fizzle out in.

Early lead, laboured performance, could go either way.

Ormus

Any football match could go either way, but let's face it if there was a gun to your head everyone would predict a Spurs win.

We will beat Norwich at home 8 times out of 10.

Just hope today isn't one of the other 2.

I trying to find Kane's recent goal record vs norwich for Fantasy football reasons and found this on BBC website



Norwich have lost only one of their last five league meetings with Tottenham (W2, D2), and have only been beaten once on their last four trips to White Hart Lane (W1, D2).

Sugarlumps

There record is good. They'll have a proper good go. Brady is an excellent crosser of the ball. Hoolahan is no mug.

Only Newcastle (12) have dropped more points from winning positions than Spurs (11) so far this season.

Service in to Kane has been poor of late. Might nick it, need Dembele in beast mode.

LLoris has had more to do than their keeper

We look easy to get at on the left side but on the other hand ali and lamela doing good work on our own left, feel like its a good performance so far

Have Eriksen or Dembele had any impact?

Please tell me that was Christmas 1960?

davycc

coys a huge 2nd half needed keep our heads and find the killer third

prodsc

That bloody keeper. Some nice Spurs footy

Best sustained burst of fluent attacking play in some time- very encouraging.

Lamela looks very good on the left

prodsc

Lamela tries the Rabona.. decent save

Big hit lloris on Jerome clean clearance

MonkieSocks

Good time for Carroll to come on, he needs a good display

MonkieSocks

TOMO :eek:

prodsc

Tommy C great strike

tippspur

Tommy Carroll,some goal!!

Dembele ankle injury and Dier booked again, just as well we've developed a good core of central options...

Edit: looks like he'll be fine to continue

Haha I've never seen a premier league team fluff a 4 on 1 before!

Shows the intensity we're countering with tho

prodsc

Ffs 4 v 1 and we don't score. Lamela wanting Kane to get hatrick. Save Hugo

MonkieSocks

Lloris Brilliant....FFS lads, keep a clean sheet.

Amazing double save lloris

Sugarlumps

The best £12M that Tottenham Hotspur have ever spent.

tippspur

Great win and performance,gained some ground today.very happy.

Sugarlumps

Currently have the joint-best goal difference (17) in the Premier League.

They looked tidy in front of our back four, but easily enough got at themselves. Having only one man up front and in the box didn't give them much chance of sustaining pressure but as all season so far, Brady showed enough creativity on his own to suggest that a tweak here or there might keep them at least withing touching distance of safety.

Weak at centre back. We should have had one or two more from poor marking at set plays.

ziedth

6 points off top, I was conflicted there today with Lecister and Liverpool. I mean at what point do you stop looking at teams behind you and hope that teams above you start dropping points. Exciting times

ziedth

Arsenal 3-0 down. This is officially the most mental league I've ever seen.

irishmover

What a great Christmas. Maximum points against Watford please!

Kiith

We were very good today. Excellent passing, good ball control, and everyone seemed really calm under pressure. Kane took his goals really well, and Alli and Lamella put in a fantastic shift. Really impressive.

Also, that save from Lloris was fantastic.

southhampton 4 up v the scum so far ! the shane long show
