Mighty Spurs vs Brighton OMT

[braineclipse]

Midfield three, try to win the midfield like against Leicester. Will be harder against Brighton than against Leicester.

Or midfield two, accepting that we won't win the midfield battle, more set up to counter attack?

Several front players showing form (Lucas), growing form (Bergwijn). Son back, hopefully raring to go. Either way we'll have real attacking options on the bench with Kulu in as well.

 

[Lemonade Money]

Throw it. Our squad is too small, too many rescheduled games coming up, and we'd only lose in the semis anyway. Start Gollini, Doherty and Rodon, and job is done

This sort of attitude may wash in Sheffield, but you're at a big club now son.

So no Skipp or Tanganga. Expect a Winks, Hojbjerg midfield two

 

[nattenskonge]

I wish we could try:

——————————Lloris—————
Tanganga—Romero—Dier—Reguilon—
—————Hojbjerg——Kulusevski———
Moura————Bentancur———Son
—————————Kane————————

Why?
You want our 2 new signings in unfamiliar positions and play Tanganga who at this stage in his career is not playing well at all.

What's happened to them, thought we had a fully fit squad for once?

Are you as aggrieved at midweek games that also ko at 8ish?

I suppose the difference with midweek is that it’s designed to enable people to go after work. Personally I enjoy a little time after a weekend game to either have a little drink and debrief which allows a less crowded journey back but my sensitivity to this stuff has heightened now I have a much longer trip home.

It must be: Lloris; Royal, Romero, Dier, Davies, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Winks; Moura, Bergwijn; Kane. New signings on the bench, Bentancur to come on only if things are going well, Kulusevski if we need a goal with 30 mins to go.

Not surprised if any of the guys coming back from the internationals have injuries and knocks. So won't expect our strongest side. Hope to see new boys in action if we can afford it.

So you would put kulusevski in if we needed a goal? Why?

Tanganga can defend, its not unfamiliar positions.. its a cup game..

 

[Hotspur75]

So you would put kulusevski in if we needed a goal? Why?

To at least give him the chance of a flying start before a home crowd. Would help him (and us) a great deal psychologically.

 

[Lemonade Money]

Sonny is okay, and now we have three games in a few days, it will be very important to give him the right minutes to play, but Sonny is another player that, you know very well, is very important for us. He can move the balance during a game. I’m very happy to have him available again.”

Antonio went on to report that Japhet Tanganga (knee) and Oliver Skipp (groin) would miss out. “Only these two players are unavailable, the rest are available,” he added.

Asked about Bentancur and Kulusevski's availability in his press conference, Antonio replied: “The two players are fit and, for this reason, tomorrow, they are available, for sure. To start the game, I think is not right, because they need to work with the team for a period. These two players can help us a lot.”

Sounds like Son and the new boys on the bench. Tanganga and Skipp miss out.

[lurker of old]

Anyone know how comprehensive the tube strike on the Victoria line is? Wondering how best to get to Euston after the game, ie will there be any tubes from Seven Sisters or will I need to stay on the overground to Liverpool street?

 

[yiddo37]

@lurker of old It's been generally ok in the mornings to work, just less frequent.
So instead of every 2-3 minutes they've been every 9-10 minutes.
Not sure about evenings though...

 

[yiddo37]

Tanganga can defend, its not unfamiliar positions.. its a cup game..

Bentancur is a cm not a '10' as far as I know and Kulusevski is a rwb/winger/10 yet you have him in a cm 2? Tanganga has been tinkle poor with a mistake in every game, irrelevant now as he's injured.

Are you as aggrieved at midweek games that also ko at 8ish?

No, night games have been with us since 1950's when I started going to football, but this game has been moved to a third rate channel to appease TV. I am tinkled off with multiple kickoff times. Its probally ok for people with no family or social life but Saturday night has always been time with family and friends for me.

 

[parklane1]

We should be trying to win this AND get 4th.
We really have become a pussy of a club.
Scared of winning.

Amen brother.
