    There are three changes to the side which played WBA, according to twitter rumour.

    Ogbonna for Collins
    Noble for Obiang

    Who is the third? ;hmm

    Is Masuaku replacing Cresswell? ;hmm

    Or is Arnie starting and for who? ;hmm

    Rumours are Hernandez doesn't start tomorrow.

    Ogbonna and Arnautovic in for Collins and Chicharito.

    Early onset of Alzheimer's or just a good night down the pub last night?
  • Leaving in about half-an-hour for pre-match ;beer


    coyi
  • I'm going with Arthur starting over cresswell
  • Match day!!
    coyi ;scarf coyi

    Look out for me on your picture boxes. I'll be the one in a West Ham United hat.
    Irons Victory!
  • I'm going with Arthur starting over cresswell

    Scrap that complete rubbish, won't happen

    AC to the bench and Arnie in

    That's better
  • Late fitness test.......Antonio?
  • I think Hernandez will play through the middle in the hope that his movement will unlock Tottenham defence and Carroll will be on the bench and Arnautovic will line up instead. Carroll to come on after one 60 minutes.
  • Antonio passed a late fitness test and starts. Hope that's not a risk.
  • Carroll has a knock and drops to the bench
  • If he is in any way injured why is he in the squad at all? ;hmm
  • Even in 10 minutes Carroll can be a nightmare for anyone

    Would personally prefered Carroll for this as I think Hernandez will lack support given Arnautovic and Antonio will probably end up quite deep given that spurs will most likely have the lions hare of possession
  • Not all injuries stop you, Noble played with a double hernia
  • Noble and AC, when it comes to injuries are quite different from each other IMO
  • Well yes I get that, but as I said not all injuries stop you from playing or it being managed properly

    ;ok

    Tempted to go...

    Hart
    Fonte - Reid - Ogbonna
    Zabaleta - Noble (c) - Kouyate - Masuaku
    Antonio - Arnautovic
    Chicharito

    Adrian, Rice, Byram, Cresswell, Ayew, Carroll, Sakho

    Lukerz ;ok This would be my eighteen
    Well, you got what you wanted. Let's hope they do the business. coyi
  • Im going to say, now I know Carrolls benched, that I would've put Sakho in for him. Im not knocking Hernandez, just think Sakho Antonio and Arnautivic would pose more of a threat. Sakhos stronger and holds the ball up plus I think plays the channels better. Just dont want Hernandez isolated and dont think we have an out ball to him when under pressure ( which we obviously will be )
  • Spurs full backs look suspect to me, Antonio and Arnie should be running at them.
  • Finally Bilic is spot on with his team and subs selection. We can play more of a passing game, but with firepower on the bench to go more direct if we have to. Good to see Rice keeping his place as he can come on in midfield or central defense.
    We can defo win this ! 2-1, Sakho to score winner in last 15 mins.
  • Just seen I have David Pleat doing co comm ;angry
    But regardless ;scarf
  • Smash them ;wahoo
  • I'm afraid of a brutal Spurs vengeance to be honest ;weep
  • sofa so good ;run
  • if we sit off Spurs will score, if Arnie and Antonio can bully the full backs and Noble and Kouyate can stand their ground i think we could really put pressure on Spurs.
  • im going for between the 10th and 20th minute for Noble to get his customary yellow card ;whistle
  • That long!
