***Tottenham Hotspur v Charlton OMT***

[MartyFunkhouser]

Gotta go near full strength to get games into some of the players

Honestly I’d drop Gallagher and play Williams- Barnett. I said I’d play the strongest team and I don’t think that Gallagher is a 10. I think he’s part of the issue when he plays there. He lacks creativity and doesn’t take on the defender. So what exactly does he offer in an attacking sense? Pot shots from outside the area?

I’d love to see LWB start but I don’t think it’s the right time. It’s ridiculous but should we concede first there is a real threat the atmosphere turns toxic imo

I agree with this point but who instead of Gallagher? Bentancur?

I am of the group that would be happy to see him leave in the next week.

My pick would be Bergvall but seems like that's not going to happen unfortunately. If Kudus is fit, maybe him.

If they are going to play the most logical move to me would be put Gallagher centre next to Fernandes/Bentancur/Tonali and move Bergvall into the 10 position where he can try all his tricks and moves. If he loses the ball there the chances of us conceding are far less likely.

I'd like to see Danso and LWB get starts.

 

[Raziel]

I disagree - I think this is a chance to build morale at the club. We lose this, morale crashes. We need to have a solid beautiful win over Charlton else Lange, Vinai (I see some people call him Vivian now, LOL!!), and De Zerbi can walk.

We need to get a win to stop all the bitching and moaning about our last game. Strong team should be named because IF we lose it will bring all the abuse of our poor we are as a team from the usual suspects.

The other thing that is vitally important is we start putting together home wins (regardless of competition).

Win at home, the crowd gets better, lifts the team, good circle, lose and we know what happens ..

 

[Raziel]

I'd like to see Danso and LWB get starts.

I'd play Danso because I'm sure against that level opposition there will be a lot of pump it into the box brick.

I'd play LWB because so far he's stepped up against opposition.

Reality will probably be Tonali/Bentancur/Gallagher to start, with subs

 

[Muttley]

I think my team would be

GK: Dubravka - you have to keep him active in the cups
RB: Gray - if Porro isn't ready
LB: Udogie - if fit to start
CB: Danso + JPvH / Senesi - either of the 2 newbies need to make way
CM: Tonali + Bentancur + Fernandez - Mateus needs to become the 10 and move us from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1
LW / RW: Tel + Moore / LWB - need to trust one of the 2 kids
FWD: Solanke - if fit, Dom has to start

 

[spurspinter1]

Exactly. We need to find form through playing matches. Losing this match will cause further problems.

I checked tickets for Saudi Sportswashing Machine earlier and it appears that there have been a LOT of resales in the last 48 hours unsurprisingly.

Bunch of wetwipes imo. Might not be surprising, but it's still weak sauce.

But to the first point, winning games and ideally trophies is a good thing.

A start for Maddison would be good, maybe even Udogie if he's not going to break down straight away.

 

[robp135]

Even if Savinho and Marmoush are officially announced today they will still need work permits which will take another 24-48 hours so I seriously doubt they will be available Wednesday, but we do need to put out the strongest XI available and let the new players build up some chemistry.

Marmoush doesn’t need a new work permit.

 

[robp135]

Maddison has a shoulder knock.

He got a check. Not been said he is injured.

 

[Bullet]

Vinai (I see some people call him Vivian now, LOL!!)

Presumably they mean Vivienne Lewis, brother of Charles Lewis, of ENIC

 

[robp135]

Dubravka
Porro Danso Senesi Udogie
Fernandes Bentancur
S/M Maddison Tel
Solanke

Start Savinho if possible. Otherwise play Moore.

 

[clownfoot]

What’s the cut off to register Savinho and Marmoush in order to play them Wednesday?

 

[robp135]

Tonight.

 

[Dicko]

Do we really only have Gray or Porro for RB now? We must have a young RB who can play there instead of shoehorning Gray in there?

 

[Rafa87]

Dubravka

Porro (if available) Gray otherwise.
Danso
Senesi
Udogie

Tonali Fernandes
Maddison

Moore (who else is there if Savinho is not ready?)
Tel

Solanke

We have to go strong to get some momentum. We also really need some players such as Kudus back.

 

[BrentwoodSpur]

Got to go strong. No Europe and a brick start, we need a win to get the momentum going

 

[MadSpurs]

Bin this off, play the kids, we need as few games this season as possible.

Really?

After Saturday's debacle I would suggest we need to play the full strength team as they haven't gelled, mostly due to not having much playing time together during pre-season, they need to play like a team not a bunch of strangers.
