Tottenham Hotspur vs West Bromwich Albion
Crunch time for us is here. After a pulsating North London Derby on Wednesday night, we entertain a West Brom team that was on a six match unbeaten run after Roy Hodgson (yes, that same one that managed to get himself fired at The Kop) until the streak was broken by Chelsea last weekend.
In all honesty, Spurs would not be in this position where we are fighting to overtake Manchester City for 4th place if we can play top quality football against the lower teams in the league. The past 3 matches that we played against a team starting with the letter “W” all ended in draws. AND WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER DRAW!
We need all 3 points and if we play at the same tempo and tenacity that we showed the Arsenal in midweek, we can definitely do damage against the Baggies. This has to be an all out attack since we are playing at home. Bale is unlikely to start and if he is rested, I like to see ‘arry play Lennon on the right, Huddlestone and van der Vaart in the middle and Modric on the left. None of that stupid nonsense where Lennon played on the left when he came on to replace Bale last Wednesday. Play the players in their preferred position is my motto.
Again, no distractions about the other teams or future fixtures. We just need to focus on getting the 3 points this Saturday so we keep the pressure up against City.
We can do this! COYS!!!
