New manager knows the club according to reports so we could be in for a difficult night.
You realize Bournemouth beat Spurs, right?

does he live next door to Rashford who’s been practicing his free kicks?
Surely logic would say that Spurs is easier than City though? Since you talk about logical arguments. And Spurs hiring a novice caretaker manager with no managerial acumen, along with their horrendous form, means that logically we should win.Against Sevilla: before the match most posters seemed to think Sevilla would be a cakewalk. I made logical arguments as to why Sevilla were favourites to win the game and the tie and I asked people to make logical arguments against my post.
Against Brighton: Before the match, most posters were very negative, saying that we'd lose by a big margin. I logically surmised that we would be (slight) favourites going into that match.
That brings us to Spurs: people seem overly confident and here is my logical breakdown:
1, we could be without Bruno, who makes us tick. If he doesn't play, I think Spurs will be favourites.
2, Maguire is a huge issue. If he starts, I'd put money on us losing - he absolutely abysmal and should never play in the first team again.
3, we are struggling to score goals and that remains, regardless of points 1 and 2.
4, we have a terrible away record and this is an away match. This makes Spurs favourites.
5, Spurs were humiliated in their last match and I expect them to be "tight" in defence for this match. I don't expect them to play attacking football, so if they do score, I don't expect more than 1 or 2 goals.
6, If Spurs hire a new manager, I expect to absolutely lose, so I hope they don't fire their manager in the next 72 hours.
In summary, I think this'll be a close match because we have a terrible away record, but Spurs are currently in trouble.
I think it'll either be a draw (most likely) or Spurs will win by 1 goal.
Now, this doesn't mean that we can't win. We can absolutely win, if we "turn up", but our players have a history of playing with low intensity and I fear that that is what we shall see again on Thursday.
IMO, Spurs are favourites for this one.
PS. For those who think we'll get destroyed in the FA Cup Final - I disagree.
EDIT: Spurs boss has been sacked - the probability of us winning is now significantly lower.
tied for the 3rd most wins away in the league, have had 5 (in 15 matches) clean sheets away (same amount as City & Newcastle who are 1st & 2nd in total GA) probably should have had 2 more against Chelsea and Palace. (2 dead ball goals, soft penalty and a free kick in stoppage time), we've had 3 bad results that skew our away form.because we have a terrible away record,

That made me laugh. Good one.does he live next door to Rashford who’s been practicing his free kicks?
going to be hard to hit them on the counter when they sit in that 541 and jjst look to play on the counter themselvesIf we play defensively, I doubt Spurs can score. ETH needs to be smart in this game. Spurs is like a wounded animal, we need to keep the ball for the first 15 mins and frustrate their fans. Hit them on the counter attack. 1 goal will be enough to win this game and put top 4 out of sight. I hope ETH better not lose this game.
Yeah I’d start Fred. You can get at Spurs with early energy and he’d be perfect for it. This will largely be a game of transitions.With hindsight taking of Martial, Eriksen and Bruno today will help us (though think Eriksen may be rotated for this).
How long is he out for?Need not to lose but a win will all but wrap up top 4. Shame Bruno is out but still think we can beat them with Fredinho coming back for his bi-annual Spuds masterclass.
Hoping it’s just precautionary and he’s back in training today to be at least on the bench against spursHow long is he out for?
We've had a 'midget' in Lisandro all year long. And being 1.85 isn't exactly a midget anyway.Having a midget and a man that has just recently had one decent game for us as two CBs really sounds better I reckon. Not that it really matters, we should score 3 at least and its ok
Keep Maguire Away.what is this ?

Judging by the highlights at the weekend it looks like he was getting kicked about by the Brighton players which the ref gladly allowed unsurprisingly.Tweet

If they decide to play that way that's their problem, not ours.going to be hard to hit them on the counter when they sit in that 541 and jjst look to play on the counter themselves
That looks like basically only subs / youngsters or people not involved against Brighton. Probably makes sense to have a day or two extra rest.No Bruno spotted in training pics released. No Rashford, no martial, no casemiro, no Shaw, no Lindelof. Probably a different set of pictures will be released soon

If we have a terrible away record than Spurs has a terrible home record, 5 losses (only West Ham , Wolves, Leeds and the 3 teams currently in the drop zone have more). 20 goals conceded (only Arsenal, Fulham, West Ham & Relegation Battlers Bournemouth, Leeds, Leicester and Southampton have conceded more at home)4, we have a terrible away record and this is an away match. This makes Spurs favourites.
