As we're playing Sunday, all we can do is keep our fingers crossed tomorrow and hope to god Everton and Forest don't win Saturday.

I'm dubious about Arsenal going there with the title gone and whether they have the fight to match Forest now. Whiffs of a Forest smash and grab. As for Wolves, they are better at home granted but they still look like they have their feet up on the beach. Not sure they'll match Everton's intensity.

All I can say about us is this. If we can make it to Sunday reasonably unscathed from those results, then we have to be absolutely on it come kick off 1:30pm Sunday and give it every bit of blood and thunder we got, no regrets.

What will be, will be.

A bit anxious about this weekend. It's a winnable game for us and we're probably safe if we win it. Things could turn quickly though if we draw or lose. West Ham were getting pissed in the changing rooms last night, Leeds have a great chance to beat them on Sunday and suddenly we go into the last game in 18th with it out of our hands. I really hope we do the business tomorrow.

Huge game for United, easily our most important of the season and that includes both cup finals. Lose points and we have to win both our final games and that isn't something we want the pressure of.

I fancy Villa to get something at Liverpool also massive opportunities for Everton and Leeds to get precious wins against teams with nothing to play for. 

Even with their laughably poor away record I'd still fancy Man Utd to beat a Bournemouth team who've dine their job for the season.

Quite a good chance we're relegated this weekend although it can't happen until we play Monday. If we lose (we will) then it just takes one win from Everton or Leeds to send us down - both are away to a side with nothing to play for, West Ham especially have no skin in this one at all, they were reportedly totally disinterested at Brentford.

Sods law that when we drop it'll be at a game of ours - only the negatives ever seem to happen when we're playing. Every plus happens at another game!

I've also noticed over years the majority of our defining moments happen away from home.

So from the final two games, if we lose either, and Everton or Leeds win either of theirs, that puts us down. So of those six games we need five of them to go our way. Given two of them rely on us, not happening.

There'll be the usual analysis pre-game for us and the usual worry from the opposition and those who want us to lose but you'll soon realise you had absolutely nothing to worry about. We've been hugely overrated all season outside of Leicester, even the bookies have realised it now and we're 1/8 to get relegated. I just want this shit over this weekend to be honest so I can fuck that West Ham game off. Absolutely fed up of watching this lot embarrass the city every week.

Calvert-Lewin appears to be fit and available. Mykolenko unlikely with Vinagre (if he even exists) and Godfrey also injured. Leaves us the option of playing Holgate at left back again or going with the back three we finished with last weekend and McNeil at left wing back. The latter is probably more likely which makes it annoying that Coady is ineligible to play against Wolves because either Keane or Holgate will have to make up the three with Tarkowski and Mina.

Excited to see how this formation does again Spurs, team confirmed. Expect to see a lot of balls from Mee and Jensen out to the wingers today and expect to see some driving runs from midfield too.

 

Schade - Wissa - Mbeumo

Jensen - Janelt - Onyeka

Henry - Mee - Pinnock - Hickey

Raya

Tottenham in control of the game but that Danjuma effort looked more dangerous than it was, ultimately an easy clearance for Henry in that position.

We’re not attacking well enough and it’s causing us problems as Spurs take advantage on the counter. If we’re going to play this aggressively we need to scare Spurs’ defence

Personally think that Onyeka is struggling to offer us defensive support and we’re really missing Christian Norgaard as a DM as that would give us the option to play Janelt as an 8.

Son and Kulusevski keep dropping into space between between our midfield and defence and that’s hurting us the most. Obviously Son’s chance would have been offside had it of gone in, but Spurs will be ruing the misses from the header in front of the 6 yard box and their chance immediately after Kane’s goal.

Happy with Mee, Pinnock and Henry though. Henry is a monster and is everywhere, Mee with a big block against Son’s offside shot and Pinnock with some intelligent defending.

Ultimately there is a disconnect between our defence and midfield and that needs to be adjusted, expect to see one of Dasilva, Damsgaard and Baptiste on for Onyeka soon. We need to focus on getting Schade one v one as they struggle to contain him when that happens. Also need to get Mbeumo in the game full stop, he’s been marked out of it

What a goal that was. Instant improvement from the team. Janelt looking to play forward passes, Damsgaard getting into position and setting the assist and goal up and a great finish from Mbeumo.
