Who would have thought that this match would be so important? After our two previous league disasters: Arsenal away and the Albion at home. Both matches we should have tried harder. If we can beat such European teams as Real Madrid and B Dortmund (home and away) one would have thought that we should have easily beaten such teams at Swansea, Burnley and WBA by a big scoreline. But, no, not at all. It seems we panicked or just shit our pants.
I know such teams have come to Wembley to park their busses, but if that is the case then a more striking line up could have found a way through. But that is the past and Pochettino is a thinking man and he must be going through many scenarios in his head. Last season we wiped the floor with Leicester, and on their own turf. From then to know we have, or should have, grown stronger as a team. We have a better squad in fact. Has success - limited at it is - gone to their head? Whatever, a few knocked head together and a good boot up the arses might do something for the team. It is alright hugging and slapping hands together, but that alone won't win matches.
Let us get some team news for tomorrow. Leicester City should have the same team that drew with West Ham over the weekend. Their long-term absentees Huth & James are still just that... long-term.
Their team is all over the place so we should take advantage.
Erik Lamela just had a baby, but putting that aside, after a long layoff he should be back and in contention for this match. Even if it is only as a sub.
Danny Rose should be available, but our boy Harry (Winks) could be in doubt. But not to worry as we have adequate cover.
So that said, let us get behind the team... for their part, bloody win this game by a good margin. After all, they aren't at home.
As the logo says "To Dare is to Do" so let us Dare and Dare with a good result... you can't get more daring than winning.
All the best, Don Scully
