*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley ***

Where's foyth?

Wow, Davies at CB with Skipp in front. Exciting! Hope we give Lenon a good reception.

We'll still beat this lot, Harry alone will destroy them. Easy, 4-1 or 5-0 if we are really on it. COYS!

IMHO, Sissoko is still a player that needs accommodating.

Ideally not someone to give a young player their debut beside, for me. Will be very interested to see how Skipp fares.

Otherwise, a very attacking line up - our intentions are clear.

Burnley dont have many goals in them at the moment (famous last words, I know), and havent been as tight defensively - its going to be a very one sided game.

When we score will be key. Score early and itll be a 4+ goal walk. The longer without scoring, the more frustrated and tense it gets... Well you all know what thats like.

Skipp could save us a fortune if he settles quickly into first team football

Would be wonderful, wouldnt it?

No expectation of it, of course, but Im sure everyone will be watching him keenly to see what level he is at.

fudging hell, we are looking bad injury wise. Hopefully we can close this one down by the 70th and rotate out the guys who are looking tired.

I'm gonna assume it'll be the same as midweek, with Dele playing in the midfield three and Lamela sitting around #10.

It's the area that most needs strengthening in the squad. It's be great if he could replace either Wanyama or Dembele.

Has Pochettino been at the Christmas brandy?
Bloody weak lineup imo

Or is he playing a team he has every confidence in to get the job done whilst understanding the importance of Wednesdays game ???

Nah he’s tinkled!

We do have 3 / 4 CBs injured (considering Dier as an option there), attacking wise it seems fine. Would have been nice to keep one of Davies /Rose fresh for wednesday though..

Got to hand it to him for using the whole squad. Skipp is a real excitment and Poch showing faith.

 

[MKSpur]

Always thought Davies has the qualities to play as a LCB, more so in a 3 but with Toby inside and Danny outside I’m sure he’ll be fine

 

[MKSpur]

They seem to have a thing about this lady.

So do I now!

 

[StephenH]

Wednesdays game ???

Its just the league cup

 

[SpurMeUp]

Keep them away from being able to put high balls into our box. We don't have any height in defence and only Sissoko in the middle with much height.

 

[Cochise]

I was wrong. Looks like a disciplined 4231, Sissoko looking after Skipp.

He has started well.

Brady's delivery is excellent. We'll have to not concede too many set plays.
