Tottenham v Sunderland Midday (BT Sport 1)

Sugarlumps

The Sunderland boss has only lost once in five encounters with Pochettino during his time as West Ham boss – and his overall record against Spurs is not to be sniffed at either.

He boasts 12 wins out of 24 games against Tottenham, giving him more wins against Spurs than any other side in the Premier League.

They have won just once in their last seven Premier League visits.

We need to win this, and win it comfortably. No messing about, and get things back on track.

Anyone at the game tomorrow. My pops is over and we are hitting the lane (cheers Hatch) if anyone is about for a post win beer?!

3 points is a an absolute must no other way to say it really. Last week was a set back and took our head out of the clouds. Now it's just back to earlier in the season and head down time and pick up a few wins.

Balls.

Bought tickets for the cinema tonight and just dawned on me Spurs are on 10.45pm for me.. I will most likely miss most of the match. Rarely do we have an early kickoff on a Saturday..

I. Am. An. Idiot.

Sugarlumps

Lloris. Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose. Dier, Dembele. Lamela, Eriksen, Alli. Kane.

Poch needs to bench Eriksen at some stage...I hope Toby will launch pin point long balls today for Alli.

Strong line up, good to have Moussa back and good to give Trippy another start.

Wanna see a performance from Eriksen today.

Kiith

Glad to see Trippier start. He can't be any worse at Walker when it comes to crossing, so hopefully he can setup one or two (or at least get one in the bloody box).

Carroll would of been swamped against Cattermole and M'Vila. Trippier is far superior at crossing the ball. Needs to fully concentrate on his defensive side though.

Crossing has been of a low standard of late. Eriksen although not being played in his preferred role, really needs to put the foot in.

Sugarlumps

Guarantee Defoe will find the net today.

Pickford (Goalie) making his PL debut for Sunderland, will probably have his best ever performance.

These things happen to us don't they:mad:

Glebee

Is this going to be more of the same where they pack the defence and we cant break them down

09_09_09

Sloppy passes all around

MonkieSocks

We,need three points against these

Poor passing up front again, and it needs to be a lot better. Sunderland will just sit deep, and play for a draw.

They will nick it either from corner or set peice. Shades of Leicester:(

Sugarlumps

Sunderland have two banks of four, damn near impossible to play through them.

NomadicGray

Damn might not get a break like that again

Sugarlumps

Ball by Trippier.

Sugarlumps

Eriksen has been poor.

09_09_09

Just fook off

NomadicGray

Ah yeah, this feels familiar

Kiith

****ing amateurs. This is absolute ridiculous :mad:

This is Spurs of old. What the hell is the point in having all the possession if we do absolutely nothing with it.

Sugarlumps

Maybe that'll wake them up.

MonkieSocks

Ah Jayus

tippspur

Same **** different day.

NomadicGray

Never doubted them

Sugarlumps

Great response, well done Eriksen.

Kiith

1-1, but still not good enough. We should be well ahead of this crowd.

tom1ie

Get in! Ericksens been **** though

MonkieSocks

Eriksen

Sugarlumps

Game have livened up, 1st can of the day.

tippspur

OG !!

We've been sussed out at home lads. We can't break down teams that come and defend in numbers. I remember something similar when 'Arry was there.

Happens the whole time as far as I can see. teams sit back, sit back, sit back. We play the ball from side to side but never really threathen and then they score on the break. thats how to beat Spurs at home..

MonkieSocks

Sunderland will tire and we might get another couple of Goals.

We need to be patient against like this.

Timing of our subs could be crucial.

Sugarlumps

Whip Onomah on. Lamella ain't cutting it today.

Sugarlumps

Brilliant free kick, muppets.

09_09_09

What was that? Jesus

MonkieSocks

Daft free kick

Sugarlumps

Game is lifeless.

Sugarlumps

Get the fúck in! Lovely finish.

Kiith

Superb strike from Dembele!

NomadicGray

the moment it fell to dembele it felt like it was gona be a goal

09_09_09

Mousssssaaaa

slegs

Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Dembele is a class act.

MonkieSocks

Dembele on the tele
