[Albion] Spurs hammered 2-7 at home, will there be a backlash on Saturday

Icy Gull · Oct 2, 2019

Or will we take advantage and compound their misery?

I saw that result and then remembered that we play them on Saturday?

What think you? That is one hell of a thrashing at home in a Cup competition, the fact that an ex Arsenal player scored 4 makes it worse.

Have we caught them at the right time or totally the wrong one?

Could go one of two ways. If we start well then we have a real chance

If we can get a couple of injuries back we might be able to exploit their frailties, but I fear a 1-2 away win with the focus on Spuds 'papering over the cracks' and us getting a 4 second mention by some washed up old no mark on MOTD

seems something not right in Tottenham camp, not mentaly strong. if we get a goal early might get a result. otherwise i fear we'd be overrun by better team on a mission.

A win puts us within two points of them, nothing to be scared of.

If Davy and Solly are back we may have a chance.

Need to play without fear on Sat, they ain't that good

After last night BG might even dust off his Albion scarf.

Recovering from a European tie is difficult anyway statistically even if you win. I think they’ll find it hard Saturday, it will be more a boost to us than a backlash for them. I’ve gone for a draw.

Kane's been found out, league one at best

It’s the playing without fear bit that worries me. Spurs will probably love going toe to toe with a team who are inferior in every position. I think we need an early goal and just maybe their current mental fragility will kick in. I fear a thumping if they take the lead and we keep failing to take chances.

I hope we go out and shoot on sight not our usual trying to walk it in or pass responsibility. Time for the midfielders to chip in with shots when the opportunity arise. I imagine Murray, Maupay and Connolly (in whatever combination GP goes for)would thrive on spilt or parried balls :thumbsup:

Despite their problems, Spurs are still quite good going forward.

And we don’t have Kimmich running our midfield or Gnabry and Lewandowski up front.

Still think it will be a struggle.

Could it be Pochettino being eyed up by Real Madrid might be one of the reasons?

At least we're going to play them too soon for them to get the new-manager-bounce by Saturday! Of course, there's always the caretaker-manager-bounce to worry about..........................

Ernest · Oct 2, 2019

There will be a front lash as well as a backlash and we will get hammered. Perfect opponents for Spurs to put things right

Bozza · Oct 2, 2019

They'll want to improve their goal difference after it being hit so hard last night.

Kane hat-trick.

Brovion · Oct 2, 2019

It will be interesting. If they can't raise themselves to beat a toothless bottom six club then they've got real problems.

I've heard that one of the players has been caught doinking a team mates wife and half the team aren't even talking to each other.

I usually look forward to our games at the Amex but have no idea what to expect on Saturday!

The only upside is that we can't play as badly as last night again surely (famous last words).

At least i will have had a good pie whatever the outcome.

Excellent, that's exactly what the players need to know, make sure you tell Dale at lunch today, I'll tell Pascal, so they can give it a bit of verbal on the pitch, try and induce a bit of Zidane retaliation. It'll be easier vs 9 players.

All we need to do is wear our shooting boots on the day and its job done

Will we be on the end of a Spurs backlash?

Yes, yes we will, we will be the ones getting thrashed

Yes but only a narrow defeat

No, we will go on to win and ramp up their crisis

We might get away with a draw against an out of form giant
