Spursex
Alert Team
We have a wafer-thin advantage going into the return Semi-final leg following our 1-0 win in the first-leg.
The bookies are calling this as a 'done-deal' and the odds suggest it's not even worth our time turning up...
The Chav's are 11/17 odds on favourites, we're big odds at 67/13 (over 5-1) for the win and the draw is an enticing 16/5 (probably the best result I can see us getting).
You'd be a brave man to back us to win - and unquestionably have far more faith in the depth of our squad and Poch's capacity to pull a miracle rabbit out of his hat for this one.
So my view is about as pessimistic as the bookies on our chances, injuries and Son being away, Moura not yet having a game in him in Jan and we're looking thread bare.
As another Harry would say; we're down to 'bare-bones'.
Predicting the line up will depend on fitness news with rumours of Sanchez, Davies, Lamela and Winks not being 100%...
For those of you that aren't going to the game it is live on Skysport @ 7:45pm Thursday.
Many are desperate to see us progress into the final for a big 'home game' against Man City in the final, I'm not one of them and can't see anything other than a fairly comfortable home win for the hosts.
I pray I'm wrong, but I can see them starting Giroud (unless he's distracted by his forth speeding offence in as many months!) or Higuain - who has a great record of scoring against us:
Gonzalo Higuain's record against Spurs
Games – 3
Goals – 3
Assists – 1
Wins – 2
Draws – 1
Defeats – 0
IF as some say he's a done deal today or tomorrow....and can see him banging a few past us unless we can do a passable impression of the Spartans (who even they in the end saw their attackers get around the back of them to finish them off).....
Oh well, it was fun why it lasted.
