OMT - SPURS vs Vitesse

None of our first 11 sitting at home will be worrying about their places at the moment

That said, which of these players might be able to move in seemlessly for the other guy from Saturday without a drop in performance? Lo Celso for ndombele perhaps, Tanganga for Emerson,...thats about it. Perhaps Gil for Moura in a few months time

Plenty can come into the first team
This, a always, is a scratch side
We never ever look decent when we do this
And that includes when playing under poch too

Dele and Winks level has dropped so much it's hard to believe. Couple of years ago they were excellent against the likes of Real, now they're struggling against Vitesse...

They have zero chance of getting back in 1st team and don't look like wanna even try to.

Plus hopefully Bergwijn can be in contention once he gets to full fitness

But its a formation which they're used to, and most of these guys DO know each other and have played together and trained together a decent amount before. I can accept that with Gil and Scarlett there is some unfamiliarity in attack

You could normally point to a couple and say they are busting a gut to get into the team, this lot are not.

We've looked reasonably solid at the back so far given its our reserves.

Showed little in attack though. Scarlett looks like a youth player playing in a grown-ups game

Agree. Sanchez has defended well.

I always look at who our full backs are for a game as that is such an important area to use in an attacking sense. When you have Davies and Tanganga you aren’t going to get much penetration going forward which means you’re going to have to play through the middle to create which is tough with this ‘B’ team.

Not criticising Scarlett but he’s not physically ready to be a CB at even this level yet…..

As disjointed as we probably should have expected.
I really don't know what Dele is anymore.

We know it is not the manager's tactics. We are missing a player in the hole. Won't be surprised to see either of Scarlett or Dele subbed. Not sure if Nuno will do that to Dele as he is one of the senior players and possible impact on morale but damn we are suffering.

Perhaps he will play Dele upfront and bring on Clarke for Scarlett. That would mean Gil moves into the no. 10 role.
 
Threatened to be a lot worse from the opening 15/20 minutes. Will take level at this stage. Bit of guidance off the boss at HT and hopefully we can snatch this one in the 2nd half

Many players can look good with good players around them. Some, like Dele a few seasons ago (and as Winks showed against Real and Barca) can be brilliant with the right platform.

Sadly, I think it's becoming apparent that neither of them has that rare ability to lift an average team.
