Tottenham Hotspur vs Stoke City 
The best way to recover from a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Real Madrid is to demolish the opposition at home. I am not sure if ‘arry feels the same way but all warm blooded yiddos would agree with me. RIGHT?!!! Agree!
Stoke is not your typical promoted side and thankfully, they are also not a team that starts with a “W”. Our results against West Brom, West Ham and Wigan clearly showed that we are still not a consistent Top 4 side. With Stoke, we are going to have to deal with the long throws of Rory Delap and the overlapping runs of former Spurs player Matthew Etherington. And I do hope that Gomes returns to his spectacular shot stopping.
It was back in April 2010 where Spurs had a string of awesome results against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and culminating in the win over Manchester City at the Eastlands. We need to rediscover that form again this season. The players must clear their heads and just focus on one match at a time. The stress of the Bernabau and trying to finish in the Top 4 again are playing games in our heads I believe. One match at a time…that’s all.
No distractions, just play 90 mins of the kind of football we know we are capable of. ‘Azza, Charlie and Niko are doubtful while Pienaar is out. The coaches just need to pick a team from the quality we have that would give us the best chance to win THIS MATCH. That’s it. No need to worry about the next match yet.
We can do this! COYS!!!
