F*ck Tottenham.
No way we get a result against this lot with the 3-4-3. Even with 7 - 10 men defending, I don't trust us to keep them out; and I don't expect us to score either considering how poor our attack has been and how great their defense is.
Would personally go back to the 4-2-3-1 for this with Xhaka and Ox in the middle and Rambo on the right to help shore up our midfield. As it stands, no combination of our players will form a central midfield good enough to go up against Wanyama and Dembele. I'd also go with Welbeck up top as terrible as he is, for the simple fact that he does not give up possession like Giroud.

I don't believe the change to 3-4-3 had anything to do with our wins, tactically speaking that is. Maybe the players received some psychological boost from it but that's it. We didn't look any better in defense and had to park the bus against City. Even the goals we conceded against 'Boro and City showed signs of the same old defensive frailties. We might have felt comfortable against Leicester but the ease with which City cut through us time and time again leads me to believe that we won't be so lucky against an in-form and clinical Sp**s. Still, the worst thing about this change for me though is just how toothless we have looked in attack. It was supposed to free our more offensive players like it did for Chelsea and Sp**s but we have actually regressed going forward.I don't think you can afford to change a winning side. Why revert back to something which had us lose consecutive games away from home by three goals.
Even though we reverted to a 4 2 4 midway against Leicester, we still lpoked much better defensively in a 3 4 3 and we won the ball back much better also.

Remember they need to attack. They need to come out and play. We can afford to sit deep and break.
Hopefully Ox and Monreal are back as wingbacks and Holding is back at CB.
Hopefully Chelsea get the job done against Everton, Chelsea lose and these Sp**s ****s will be right up for this. Chelsea win, they go into the game 7 points behind and all the pressure is on them.
Either way just force these bastards to drop points and end their season.
Arsenal winning 1-0 from a dodgy penalty decision would be brilliant though.
