It will also be a big test of the new magic boxer shorts. Purchased for Ole's first game in charge they are also currently five for five. Actually, i don't think i want to know either way. *shudders* If we lose, you should send them to Tatty as a souvenir  Of course. I am not a savage. After a frenetic Christmas fixture list of washing then drying on a radiator in time for matches I have a new empathy for managers complaining about the schedule. |

I hope to god you have washed them in between games??Actually, i don't think i want to know either way. *shudders* If we lose, you should send them to Tatty as a souvenir Of course. I am not a savage. After a frenetic Christmas fixture list of washing then drying on a radiator in time for matches I have a new empathy for managers complaining about the schedule. And people think footballers have it tough eh? It's not easy drying anything this weather when you have no dryer. |

This is the litmus test. We've mostly looked good so far under Ole, but all were games we should have expected to win. We've still looked a bit shaky and too open at times. This game has a cup final feeling to it.

The season starts now. 5 good pre-season warm up matches and I think we're ready to face a competitive opponent. Under Jose I would have feared for our centerbacks because we would be set so defensively they'd never get a break from a counter attack. Under Ole, I feel we will concede BUT we will also score! I think we come away 2-3 winners!

I think we come away 2-3 winners! Kinda feels that way. For me I reckon we can beat them but yeah we are still so shakey at the back. Son is crucial for them. He is playing bloody good football right now. If we unleash our speed demons on them I reckon we can maybe upset them. Lukaku off the bench could make them sweat a bit later also. |

After a very kind start, this will be a big test for Ole. I think we'll see much more open game than we would have under Mourinho, and given our defence is still shaky as fuck, I am a bit fearful of us being way too exposed.
We need Matic/Pogba/Herrera to be monstrous in the middle, if we win that battle, I think we can win the game.
DDG
Young Lindelof Jones Shaw
Herrera Matic Pogba
Lingard Rashford Martial

DDG Young Lindelof Jones Shaw Herrera Matic Pogba Lingard Rashford Martial There's only one proper midfield among both the teams and its ours. On paper Herrera , Matic and Pogba should dominate theirs. If we can press them from the front and shackle Eriksen and Kane , this should be our game. I'll go for a squeaky 1-2 win. |

Or giving them a penalty/own goal? We are going to have to outscore them. We just can't rely on that defence. |

Lindelof has been pretty good of late. Hopefully he can play well again. Besides, if we can cut off supply to Kane from midfield, he'll be isolated up front , which is probably the best way to thwart any striker. |

Easy to forget but Kane has often had very quiet games against us. Stopping Eriksen is the absolute key to stopping Spurs IMO.
I fancy us if we continue to play on the front foot, hope the step up in opposition doesn't scare Ole into a more negative approach. Don't think it will though.

Agreed. We get control of the midfield we win.

If we lose/drop points is it the lucky pants or Tatty?
