To are is to don't?I'd take a draw now if offered.
I guess I'm a cuckoo then.To are is to don't?
1 point is better than none, but to take a draw at WHL against a side we usually dooooominate is just roosteroo talk!
I do wish Poch would stop coming out with guff like this before a game because all it does is motivate the opposition even more.
Neutrals will want Spurs to beat Chelsea, insists Mauricio Pochettino
Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham Hostpur manager, believes that neutrals will be hoping his team come out on top when Chelsea visit White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
Premier League leaders Chelsea are six points clear of Liverpool and ten ahead of Tottenham, and the Argentinian thinks that most fans and rival teams will want his team to prevent Antonio Conte's running away with the title. And he insists that a home win will be good for the competition as well as Tottenham's own chances.
“I think it's important for the Premier League and for us to try to win and try to stop them and reduce the gap for us because in the end for us the challenge is to try to be at the top,” he said.
SAF cunningly used to big us up massively in the media before every game we played them but we all know how differently he spoke about us to his players. Sure enough they'd usually then go out and flatten us.

Absolutely agree. Why dont we just say nothing ( or like SAF and Mourinho did recently) big up the opposition and let the players on the park do the talking. We seem to have learned nothing in this regard. Poor from Poch. I hope the players don't start mouthing off.
I expect us to make a load of chances and struggle to score... then they wap wap wap wap wap in the goals at the first opportunity.
Hopefully all of their players, their coaching staff, their owner, their fans and all associated with them lose their left legs tomorrow lunchtime in a freak lasagne accident
We will win this. Think we'll go 4231, we did well at Stamford Bridge playing a back four.

I would probably go 4-2-3-1 as I think its by far our best formation and what we were successful with last year. Setting aside the Dier vs Wanyama debate (I would go for Dier!), my biggest concern about our line-up is how we deal with Hazard/Willian (or Pedro) - they don't have particularly fixed positions which therefore makes them harder to pick up. Walker and Rose can't take them as they'll likely be taking their wing-backs, so Wanyama and Demeble and our CBs need to communicate consistently so that those two don't get space
At the other end, Luiz is due a rooster-up at some point and, whilst I rate Cahill and he will be battling with Kane, I'm hopeful that Son/Sissoko and dele can get at them.
I'm going for a 2-1 win, and then the media might start giving us some credit
Yeah, it's got that written all over it. We'll miss and miss and David Luiz scores with a deflection from the halfway line. Can't see us winning, but a draw should be possible. Fully expect us to lose though, sad to say.
