Indeed. I also think many teams in these 'lesser' leagues will see a game against a PL team as a massive "advertisement window" (on different levels) so will up their game regardless. We go into it writing it off as a game to rotate most of the team at our peril

Definitely not expecting an easy game at all. Very rare that these games are as you say.

We should rotate, it's not sustainable not to. But how much is an open question. Bit like we've seen in our previous cup/EL games would be my guess. Hopefully switching it up a bit which first team players start between the different cup/EL games so no players have to do some really long runs of two games a week.

Will be interesting to see if we give Solanke in particular a rest now. Has played a lot, was injured for a bit and looks really important to us.

Hope to see Moore and Lankshear get minutes at least. More or less assuming Bergvall and Gray start.

Yep. I mentioned before that they are brick (and ability wise they are), however both the fans and the team will be absolutely up for it. There's national pride at stake too, so "game of their lives" levels of effort as a PL team is huge for them.

I expect they'll give us a very physical game to start with, but will then tire.

We need to be strong and patient and should win without too much stress.

It's more the fact that Udogie hasn't had a proper pre season and was taken of with an injury at the weekend. And Spence can cover Porro aswell in the premier league.

Reguilon? That way we can keep VdV in the middle if we decide to play him. Davis is far too slow for my liking in Ange's system.

EDIT: read some later posts, he is not on the lists... Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot, with the likes Djed etc?

Criminal management.

Reguillon isn’t in our Europa league squad on either list. He is however in our Premier League squad. It’s not uncommon for players unavailable (suspension, long term injury) to travel and be part of the unit. I believe this is just a continuation of the effort to reintegrate him into the group

Hope so, in the pre-season games last season 23/24, he played all right at LB, didn't do much wrong and linked up play well.

Haven;t seen much of him since then.
 
Interesting .. guess this is the usual, all European away games have a certain level of toughness to them, yet on paper shouldn't be.

If we play anything like we played against United, it should be enough, anyone know if anyone in this league plays extremely high press football?

lol imagine some random bloke with a spurs tracksuit and a bag sits with the players on the plane. And wanders onto the team bus.

Reminds of a time about 5 years ago I was in Italy for work and was staying in the same hotel as the Italian national team. A hoard of fans and paparazzi were outside waiting for the players to emerge and get on the bus. There was an actual red carpet from the entrance to the bus.

So I walk out and everyone goes crazy screaming for my autograph, cameras flashing everywhere. I decided to have fun with it, smiling and waving. Then just as quickly it stopped once they realised I was a nobody. People were so confused, who’s this rando? The paparazzi were tinkled off having wasted clicks. Tbf the fans were great, they just started laughing and a few of them still wanted my autograph.

The bizarre thing though was the bus driver was totally confused about what was happening and what to do. As I walked past him he gestures me onto the bus! No thanks, instead I just wandered off to the shops.
 
The Spurs web site is starting to annoy me. It says on the Match Centre that ko is 5.45 our time, while having 16.45 at the top of the page. It even had the time of the NLD wrong, a few weeks ago. They are full on with selling kit etc but can't seem to get the basics right.
