FA Cup: Tottenham v Leicester, Sunday 4pm

Ormus

Mauricio on TEAM NEWS: "@RyanMason and @mousadembele are very close but still out for Sunday." #COYS

Great news, was worried Mousa would be out for a while.

Once he's back for the league I'll be happy

Absolutely, even if fit he should be rested this Sunday. Hopefully Harry and Toby will get a rest too, but I wouldn't bank on it.

jobeenfitz

Rest most of de first team hopefully.

NomadicGray

Maybe start Son up front, chadli on the left.
Don't think he'll put out a particularly "weak" team though

KingdomYid

Unfortunately I don't think Harry will be rested, but definitely time to give some of the squad players a chance to prove themselves.

Maybe a line up like follows:

Vorm
Trippier
Wimmer
Jan
Rose
Bentaleb
Carroll
Son
Chadli
Townsend
Kane

I feel the exact same way now. 12 months ago I was suggesting we sell him to the highest bidder. It's mad the difference a year and a bit of confidence makes.

Always love the FA cup,would like to see us getting a good run in this.

We all get stuff wrong in football at some point. I've always been a massive Dembele fan (see the Dembele thread) but I've got things wrong aswell.

Never liked Walker post Aston Villa loan to be honest but this season I'm starting to warm to him.

Dembele has the quality and brain of a world class player but I reckon his mentality is terrible. I pay just as much credit to Poch as Dembele himself. Look at what Poch has done to a bunch of players who looked good on paper but previously never quite showed the quality they possess.

Lamela, Vertonghen, Walker, Rose, Dembele and now Dier.

All of which everyone at some point here lambasted. Now look...

We need more Argentines. For some reason they always step up at Tottingham.

Think onomah will be in before townsend. Vorm might have to wait a while more after his last game out against Leicester.

Interesting to see Poch appears to be taking the Europa League a but more seriously than the FA Cup.

I guess the fact we play Leicester on Wednesday may have influenced is team selection.

Sugarlumps

Glad Wimmer has been granted a starting place.

davycc

coys

davycc

danny rose giving me grief already with a blind backpass to our poor keeper

Sugarlumps

Get in!

davycc

eriksen

Kiith

Lovely goal there. Come on Spurs.

NomadicGray

Well done by chadli & eriksen

davycc

well done rose 2 good bits of attacking play in the last few mins

NomadicGray

If Schmeichel is gonna keep punching them out then pepper him with shots & rush the box.

davycc

unluck son and chadli

davycc

Sugarlumps

have to see the replay at halftime but toby had his man until he ran into one of our players /..soft old spurs

Sugarlumps

Really need to get more bodies in the box. Wimmer is very comfortable on the ball.

MonkieSocks

We have a Vampire defense.......... terrible with Crosses :rolleyes:

davycc

good covering by dier after sons blind pass to a leiscter player

tippspur

Some pile of crap.

davycc

more crap defending 2-1 ffs carroll and toby made a mess again

Kiith

Not playing well at the moment. Good passing, and lots of possession, but no final product.

As he should. Europa League is far more important then the FA cup, as it offers a chance of CL football.

davycc

come on kane fill your boots kid be grand

Dave11

Absolutely no idea what they're at once they get to edge of box.

davycc

deli alli on coys

Kiith

Huge call there. Kane needs to knock this in. Get in!!!

davycc

peno ! come on kane well done rose putting dyer under preessure. definite handball

tippspur

No stopping that !!

MonkieSocks

We need nother goal. No Replay, please lads

Dave11

Erikksen has to be one of the worst at taking a corner ever!!! He is absolutely shocking

prodsc

At least the Double is still on !!!

Ormus

Pity we need a replay, we'd almost be better off out of the cup than adding to our fixtures. Almost.

Thought Trippier was good today. Onomah made some poor decisions but also showed a cool head at times, definite potential there.

Carroll was weak again. Jury still out on Wimmer, in fairness he hasn't had much football. Eriksen frustrating, pulls out of tackles, showed little urgency when we were behind. He's just not a Poch player.

KingdomYid

Very lucky to still be in the cup. Our squad is not as good as people think, badly need to sign a back up striker this month because Son is not a striker.

I'd disagree on tripper ormus, very poor defensively and beaten far to easy, good going forward mind

Carroll is weak

Dublin Spur

i thought we dominated most of the game and Leicester defended very well

we won a lucky penno but we did enough over 90 mins to deserve a draw (at least)

it was actually a very good game of football to watch

mushykeogh

When is the replay likely to be? Hope to god we stuff them midweek.

** Replay Tuesday 19th.
