Depressing match fact, spurs have won 9 of the last 10 games at VP.  That’s mad!

Will VAR be ‘on’ this afternoon?

VAR technology to only be introduced from the fifth round onwards to ensure a "consistent refereeing approach for all clubs taking part in the same stage of the competition".

Because of infrastructure and operational costs, VAR had previously only been used at Premier League grounds, and at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-finals and final.

However, to confuse matters, goalline technology has been in use at Premier League and Championship grounds - where the infrastructure exists - in this year's competition, despite not being available everywhere.

It’ll be really interesting to see whether the chance to work properly on some tactical stuff (as per Digne’s interview) gives us something.

Where can I find this interview I would like to analyse and make some deductions

Watched it but didn't hear much mention of tactics. Luca's English wasn't as good as I thought. Maybe he just couldn't express himself fully to the usual spoon-fed questions.

One thing Spurs can't complain of is fatigue, to be feeling tired they would have had to of made some sort of effort on Thursday and as they made absolutely no effort at all in the match, I'm not having it!

Like wise DC enjoy and echo the same sentiments.
Like to think Emery has it figured out on how to score several against Spurs defence. And will lead to Ange Postecoglou last stand too?! Makes up for those 4 goals conceded twice and think will now be our time to be scoring 4+ goals.

 I did think 3-1 but double that to 6 . Scored 4 against Celtic and could have been more so see somethings similar today!

The talk is Postecoglou is just one game away from the sack and could be on his way if Tottenham lose to Aston Villa in the FA Cup today.

And that working on correcting the small details.

Spurs are nowhere invincible,we should well have enough to see them off. I remember as a kid seeing us playing their double winning team under lights and winning 2.1 great game.  The only thing stopping us winning will be a silly line up and a half assed performance. 1:0 nil Olsen clean sheet
