Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland - Sun - Sky Sports.

Sugarlumps

After Wednesday's disappointing result, and listening to Pochettino's post interview, I think we'll come out all guns blazing.

Few players could be set for some bench time.

tippspur

A few changes wouldn't go astray,I would like to see Dembele and Sossoko start,and maybe Jansen.

Mmm, I wouldn't be opposed to that. Sissoko looks like the only one with any genuine speed, bar the full backs.

Eriksen for me doesn't deserve a starting place. Too many under par performances. Alli is wasted further back.

Kimsang

Was shocked to see Alli cdm Wednesday night

abff

I predict 4-0.

DaDerv

Lloris
Walker Toby Verts Davies
Wanyama Dembele
Sissoko Alli Son
Janssen

No more than Kane I think Dier needs a rest. Eriksen was poor mid week although he ran the show against Stoke. Unpopular opinion but I think we are a better team without Lamela. We lose all shape with him in the side.

2nd Row Donkey

...............Lloris

Walker Verts Alder Davies

.........Dier Dembele

... ....Lamela Alli Eriksen

................ Kane


I think we will score 2 or 3.

League already shaping up with at least 7 very strong teams with Everton and Liverpool both much improved on last year.

This is the kind of game we need to be winning comfortably. There will be many tougher games so we need to be putting these away at home.

yeah unlike last year, all our rivals have started strongly. Need to stay with the pack.

Charliebull

Yes a win is a must and by a few goals too, goal difference could be important this year

Jansen deserves a start as does sissoko,

Prob be waynama and dembele

mass_debater

We have Gillingham during the week so he'll rotate then

If the fixture was away it would be a slam dunk in my eyes. Am never confident at home especially on a Sunday

Sugarlumps

Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Dier, Vertonghen. Wanyama, Dembele. Sissoko. Alli, Son. Kane.

Dier for Davies? Wanyama, Dembele and Sissoko is an exciting prospect.

Sugarlumps

Sunderland: Pickford, Manquillo, van Aanholt, Djilobodji, Kone, Cattermole, Ndong, Kirchhoff, Pienaar, Januzaj, Defoe.

Substitutes: Mika, Denayer, Khazri, Watmore, O’Shea, McNair, Gooch.

Defoe has a habit of scoring away, been impressed with Kirchhoff. Bar his horrid debut against us.

Sugarlumps

Subs: Vorm, Davies, Trippier, Eriksen, Lamela, Winks, Janssen.

2nd Row Donkey

That practically a whole new mid field this week compared to 2 weeks ago for example

2 changes in defence too.

Not quite so confident now. should still win by 2.

joeguevara

I'm going for a Spurs riot today....4 or 5 for Spurs....walker, alli, dembele and Kane to score two.

pleasant Co.

Anyone know if this'll be on any radio station or podcasty type thing?

Newstalk usually have game on a Sunday although with all Ireland on you never know.

Plenty of games incoming. Still no sign of Wimmer? Chance for Winks to make a cameo if the score line looks pretty.

Sugarlumps

Great start.

Sugarlumps

Son having a blinder, excellent crossing.

2nd Row Donkey

need to start testing their keeper more.

Sugarlumps

Lloris distribution, weak link to his game.

Sugarlumps

Pinball out there.

unusually poor today

Sugarlumps

Need to get the ball out wide, that's where we we're causing them problems.

Sugarlumps

Great run by Vertonghen, hard luck Son.

Sugarlumps

Son on set pieces, been sublime.

beaver111

We need that goal

Sugarlumps

Yowzer, that was close. Well done Walker.

Kiith

Poor in the final third again. We don't seem to have anyone making the passes we need to break through their 9 man defence.

Are the Spurs fans booing Sissoko?

Sugarlumps

A heap load of chances created. Kane needs to stay in the box.

Sunderland cos he's ex Newcastle

Yeah. look much better than Eriksen/Lamela

Kimsang

Must be sickening for Kane seeing them shoot from so far out. Lacking that incisiveness. Looks like crossing is our best hope.

He should of taken the free kick, instead of Dier.

2nd Row Donkey

Sunderland are set up for a nil nil and they might get it.

Need to keep plugging away but we miss the natural width and pace of Rose.

Sugarlumps

Get in!

2nd Row Donkey

At last. I thought Kane had taken too long

2nd Row Donkey

too much fannying around at the back there. Got away with it.

davycc

Dier down holding his hamstring! Nooo going the same way as dembele

2nd Row Donkey

dropping like flies

Kiith

Kane's ankle bent right back there. Looked very sore. Not good.

Kiith

This game should have been over ages ago. Can't believe they are still in this.

tippspur

Deserved win,Son was very good today.
