Lads- I'm shocked nobody has mentioned how important this game is for Thibaut Courtois. When Tottensh*t exposed azpi/moses last season courtois was just as culpable. Seriously go watch those goals and Thibaut's efforts to keep the ball out. He channeled his inner David "flappy hands" de Gea. I'm not too worried about them breaking us down and playing through our back line. Harry Kane is sensational and a handful for any defender but we will always have a strength/speed combo marking him (Rudiger is our slowest defender without Cahill involved but he's strong as hell, and he's flanked by the pacey azpi, and christiansen who has a decent bit of leg to him). If we concede, it'll be from a shot outside the box or a header from close. I dont see spuds breaking us down. This is why Thibaut Courtois has to have his best ever game in a Blue shirt if we want give ourselves a decent chance at winning. Thibaut needs to dominate his box. He's 6' 6". He's a giant. I wanna see him gathering crosses and then starting our counter attack quickly (on that note I'll mention I pray boga starts; the man is a beast and always wants to prove himself). Conte will be setting up situations in training with crosses coming into the back post. We all know where we're weak, I can't imagine conte, a master tactician, not drilling his players on the issue. I just hope he's telling the BFG to gather anything remotely near the six yard box. Real quick before I finish, I like our chances against Tottenham. We know the negatives, but here are some positive factors: We're essentially playing at a neutral ground and it's a London Derby. I'm sure our traveling support will be up for it. We're gonna see youth used from the start which is something a lot of us have been yelling for. Boga, Christiansen, Musonda, Tomori could all get decent time and let's hope after seasons of loans that these kids step up and get a fire in their belly for a derby match. They all have something to prove. Also, Spurs are going to come out and play their game. A style of play we're familiar with and have faced many times recently (worth noting first time without Kyle Walker bombing down the flank). Our XI is a mystery unto everyone but Conte really. Tottenham have to guess and conjecture just as much as we do. Conte know's our strengths. He's a master at getting the best out of the eighteen players he has available to choose from at KO. We can come out and surprise spurs. Stay positive and KTBFFH.

Also it's worth remembering that FFP gives clubs three years to balance the books. PSG could offload plenty of stars. That being said I dont think theyll comply with FFP
