Caba is not Kepa in terms of playing from the back. Good but no Kepa. 

Alonso starts which is not good. He will struggle today. 

Hazard is on the wing which is excellent. 

It's clear Sarri has his first xi and the fans have a different xi, 

Spurs lining up with a diamond midfield, was our undoing against United in the cup recently, does Sarri have answer for it tonight?

Good on Sarri dropping kepa, however willie is a f**king liability 

I think we're f**ked one way or another

Agreed. Despite their poor performance at the weekend I reckon Spurs go into this match as favorites. I hope to be proven wrong.

Without doubt, they are a level above us, and I have a nasty feeling we will see that by 10pm tonight. Got a feeling Sarri will be on the first flight back to Italy in morning

Let's do a job on them and win today

Good on Sarri for asserting his authoritah and dropping Kepa.

Predictably Spurs in the usual diamond to try and negate us. Interesting to see if Sarri has learned from his flexible approach on Sunday and has prepared a way around that tactic.

Goonies 1 up already..against the team that done us 4-0.

Emmerson and Barkley has good games should have started 

TBH I'm not even surprised RLC or CHO ain't starting, they didn't start on Sunday either!

It only seemed like they got a good run out because the match went to extra time.

Sarri has his players that he will always pick, the only real change he made was swapping Alonso for Emerson.

He as good as told us last week CHO only plays if they sell a winger.

I don't know if you guys ever watch Sarri's pre match pressers but Sarri said he lets players to decide if Kepa is good to play today. Seems they decided no. I think they all still love Kepa but they felt sorry for Willy. 

looks like Sarri was pointing out at someone he wants 4321 formation 

Anyone recommend a stream, my usual has Arsenal

If that’s the case can we please have the team decide  the tactics then

I have never liked us being called plastics but booing players names when they’re announced pre match is actually embarrassing and hard to argue that we have some seriously poor fans at time. It’s even worse that these are the people that actually go to Stamford Bridge.

Alonso's spot

any links anyone?

 

I know it is a more cosmopolitan club with players form all differnt cultures but if we lose to Spuds tonight its the first double they have done over us for 48 Yrs. They better know what this means.

So yes, lose tonight and i'll drive the f*cker to the airport!

f**king hell, what a volley. So unlucky by Higuain

This is what he said. I think he meant what he said. Modern leaders consult their people. I think it was a smart thing. 

We just have no f**king luck..

close...these lot look easy after city, sometimes it helps to keep playing top teams in succession it’s puts the mental focus up 

f**k our luck
