They are going to sit back and try to counter us… need to be smarter in this game tactically than we were against ManU… stifle them and sag back appropriately when needed like a diaphragm so that it neutralizes their counter… use off-side trap VERY carefully and selectively, but tbh I would rather we were more clever in timely sagging/flexing.
To me, that is the game… we neutralize their counter attack, we win… we let them f*ck us on the counter, we lose or draw.
I’m gonna say Arsenal 2-1 for a couple of reasons.
First reason is over the last decade this must be the most home dominated fixture in the EPL.
Second reason is, I think we’re controlling games a little more than them despite both of us having good records. Spurs are relying a lot on efficiency so I think we’ll have the lions share of chances.
We do need a “dead” season for them to break whatever duck they have at our home ground. The penultimate time they beat us in the league at home was in 93, but that season we had one eye on the FA Cup and we recall the cup double more so. (Also beat them in the cup semi final leading up to it which was a more “live” game, if you will)
Nothing official has been announced on the officials for the upcoming gameweek for any of the fixtures.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if they stick us with this cunt
