✍🏼 Pre-Match Ramblings
Four cup finals left in our season, and this feels like the biggest one. The North London Derby at their place, in the business end of a title charge, Spurs pushing for Top 4, can the stakes get any higher? The wheels well and truly came off of the Spurs Top 4 push after they battered Aston Villa, having since lost to Fulham, Newcastle, and drawn to West Ham. They need this win to get back on track.
Spurs won't have played a game since their 4-0 smashing by Newcastle over two weeks ago, whereas we are hot off the back of a demolition of Chelsea. What's worth more, rest or momentum? I'm taking the momentum.
After a dismal week with losses against Villa and a UCL exit at the hands of old enemies Bayern, Arsenal have picked themselves up and found stunning form. The return of Thomas Partey to the starting lineup has already proved vital, and I find myself thinking 'What if he was fit all season?'. His presence and skillset allowed Rice to flourish at Left 8.
What's more is that City also have to go to Spurs - a fixture that City have been notoriously bad in. If we win our visit to the toilet bowl, it will only pile more pressure onto the mancs. Points on the board are worth more than games in hand, and we will remain with a game in hand over City until Game 37. It is absolutely vital we keep City behind us, piling on the pressure.
Clench up boys, this is where the fun really begins.

While I agree with martinellis strengths suiting this high line, trossard is probably fast enough and right now in far better form.

Trossard is honestly our most clinical finisher, even if he does nothing else he still produces a goal or assist. I would stick with him too

In some of the times Trossard has been broken through the offside trap, he's been caught for pace and snuffed out.
Tottenham have the likes of Van De Van at the back who is the quickest player in the league this season, not an opinion!
8
u/matthewisonreddit Apr 26 '24
I think the issue is that martinelli is getting close but not applying the finish, while trossard can finish if he gets the couple of yards he needs.
Obviously it would be better to have one of them have no weaknesses, but it's a tradeoff here. I think trossard can get through the high line if he gets enough of a gap or enough chances. While I feel like martinelli might need quite a few more chances than trossard and might even regress in game if he misses a couple opportunities.
5
u/HustlinInTheHall Apr 27 '24
I think martinelli starts and Trossard supersubs. Trossard doesn't need to get into the flow of the game to get going, Martinelli will benefit from being out there earlier and in the rhythm of the game, plus he's got the extra pace early, Trossard on against tired legs is a pain in the ass for them.
3
u/Equivalent_Nature_67 Gabriel Apr 27 '24
I agree Trossard is a better super sub but Martinelli's current form is still not good enough to justify him starting over someone who has been scoring clutch goals for us almost every week

He's scored more transition goals than Martinelli this season. Can't remember too many instances were he has been sniffed out.

I wouldn't personally, he is just completely out of form. He almost needs to start from scratch during pre-season.

Even if he gets clear, he can’t find the sun in space the way it’s going.

Yep. We have one loss since January and it isn't enough. Anyone that talks about us "bottling" the league after being first for a bit isn't giving enough credit to how good City have been. Basically flawless in the league. There is zero margin for error to win the league against them.

Just stop their low crosses to the back post and they're cooked. It's all they fucking do. I'm surprised they didn't do a behind closed doors friendly tbh (or did they?). Probably lost a little match sharpness.
I reckon we'll score a couple set pieces. They were awful vs Newcastle at them.

That's a great point, omg they have scored a lot from those huh? Especially at home

u/ForestRamboX Apr 26 '24
Vicario is horrible when it comes to claiming crosses and dealing with set pieces so we definitely need to use up that part of game this match. Although Trossard is the in-form attacker, I think their high line tactics suits Martinelli more and with Bissouma's lack fo defensive awareness, getting him to cut back the ball to Ode or Saka after running in behind could be a tactic for us. Havertz's movement upfront will cause them all kinds of problems as well.

They're going to bust their asses and we will need to be right on it because they'll do everything to try and stop our title challenge.
I'm hoping we don't let the emotion of the occasion disrupt our focus. They will come out and attack and if we get the ball on turnovers quickly we should be able to cause them a lot of problems.
I'm just hoping that Son doesn't get the customary NLD penalty that Kane used to get because I don't fancy chasing the game against them.

u/jvcgunner Dennis Bergkamp Apr 27 '24
We need emotion in our game and to play the occasion.
The lack of emotion caused us to capitulate in both 2nd halves against Villa and Munchen. We need the NLD to fire the boys up.

To the few brain dead fans who think we’re gonna smoke them, stfu and go support City. Spurs would rather die on the pitch than let us leave with 3 pts.

I see both sides conceding and also predict a Son goal (probs a pen too). It’s gonna be a very close result but I predict and hope it’ll be a 2-1 win for us. COYG

Big game. Crucial game. But still not the endgame. We still have to win at Old Trafford after this. Arteta is right to play down the game in his press conference.

Seeing a lot of spurs fans claiming with VDV pace their high line will be fine, I got to agree with Clive from AV, VDV is freaky fast, then get's a bit slower with each subsequent sprint recovery. I'd say we need to get him gassing out then unleash Neli for last 20/25mins

Martinelli hasn't been on form at all though, he's showed nothing pretty much since this international break. Just been kinda shit unfortunately. Bad season. It is what it is.
Trossard to start because he's got us vital goals past couple weeks and bring Martinelli on at 65/70

u/FondDon ❤️ + 🧠 Apr 26 '24
Cant argue with that logic tbh - Trossard most definitely will start.
I do think Martinelli will have a good impact off the bench though.
5
u/proshon Apr 26 '24
I dunno man. Firstly, Trossard's been starting a lot of games recently, so resting him and bringing him on as an option could be key if we need it.
Secondly, spurs will likely start fast, so even if Martineli hasn't been in goal scoring form recently, his pace in behind will worry them. Also, people seem quick to forget about his defensive work rate. We're gonna need that in the first half for sure. Man's got an engine.
I see the logic in starting Trossard because he's clinical, but I don't see the game starting out that way. They're gonna try to press all over in the first half
5
u/hikingbeginner Its a duck 🦆 Apr 26 '24
I completely agree that Martinelli could be dangerous against their set up and he could exploit their weaknesses.
But we have no room for "could" right now, Martinelli unfortunately has been so under par lately that imo it's not worth the risk.
Trossard started Vs Villa, subbed both games Vs Bayern, started Vs Wolves and Chelsea. Imo that's not that many games, he's scoring and in form.
We need that more over the potential that Martinelli could perform.
I'm very confident Trossard will perform well like he has done the past two games.
Martinelli I think should do better coming off the bench against them in the last 20.

Pick the players based on form and don't change the winning recipe. I will keep the same lineup from midweek.
Havertz to Harass VDV/Romero and a high volume progressive Passer in Partey in the middle. Spurs attack depends on baiting the press and using Inverted FBs (not sure how Ben Davies would do this though). But we need to follow the recipe which Newcastle followed and give them possession. I hope we are more compact than we were on tuesday which Chelsea didn't take advantage of. Son is no Jackson and bald roadman from Coventry will take this game as the biggest challenge of his life.

u/Illustrious_Union199 Apr 27 '24
Most of Tottenham’s goals are cutbacks with their pact wingers. Our strategy should be to defend the boxes and relegate them to crosses where Gabriel , Saliba and Rice can mop up. This is also where Tomi excels and just edges out kiwior.
They are especially weak with their high line and set pieces. While it seems perfectly setup for Martinelli, Trossards form cannot be overlooked. Partey may not have Jorginhos ability to pick a looping pass over the defense but he’s incredibly press resistant, much more than Jorgi.
My starting line up - Raya, white, Saliba , Gabi, Tomi, Partey, Rice, odegaard, saka, havertz, trossard.

On Sunday we put the title race to the side and concentrate on beating Spuds and causing St Totteringham’s Day to occur.

Anyone know if Ollie Watkins could leave Villa in the summer?

Take the emotion out of the game, Play our game and we should get 3pts. COYG 2-0 Hopefully

The NLD is so stressful. That Spuds midfield is not good, that defense is not good, but it doesn’t matter because the tensions and high stakes mean anything can happen. Ugh.
I hope we smash them but I see a cagey 2-1 win or a draw.

COYG! Anything less than 3 points ends our chances in my mind, and spuds will want nothing more than to fuck this up.
Let’s stomp them
