OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford FC ***

[MartyFunkhouser]

Donley back in contention for this then. The saviour of our season?

NO chance, lads not going to make it here

 

[Chrissivad]

Bentancur and Palhinha have worked away from home, not sure we also need Gray in there as well.

Good to see Odobert getting a start.

 

[Chrissivad]

Would have been nice to have had Williams Barnett on the bench over Austin

 

[Gutter Boy]

fudging hell, what a turgid midfield. And no Muani. Think i might watch Zulu instead

Looks like an ugly team on paper so as I've said that, hopefully they'll prove me to be an idiot by putting in a scintillating display of free flowing football.

Not any passers in the team, and for flair / dribbling skills it's pretty much down to Kudus (and Odobert who we can label as fairly promising but not much more). Looks like we're in for a continuation of a fairly rough era for Spurs, unless we can get a few game changers in but doesn't seem likely given how much we've spent. I'll be watching tonight with low expectations but fudge it, coys!

Looks uninspiring and a weak as anything bench. 1-0 Romero from a corner it is.

 

[El Dante]

Who is going to be our number 10? Bentancur or Gray? Neither seem especially suited for the role.

Do other teams put 2 keepers on the bench as often as we do? It does definitely rankles, very uninspiring for the promising youngsters.

Got tackle, tackle, tackle, hooof written all over it this one…

Plenty do in Europe, where we do alot.

Just wondering if the youngsters have all been given time off over Christmas. There is no youth games at the moment, so might not be available.

Or Gray and Bentancur as 8's?

Would have like to have seen Kolo in there behind Richalison

No BJ tonight, so guess he’s off to palace. Good luck Brennan don’t know what I’ll do with no BJ comments

Yeah, it sucks.

 

[SpurMeUp]

What are the odds of posting a big score and bringing on Chisom Olusesi second half?

Line up and subs highlight midfield as the area that probably needs the most attention in the transfer window.

Big game for Odobert. Hope he’s patient.

 

[Baleforce]

generally happy with the starting eleven, not sure why we've dropped our best CB though?

Wow.

He deserves more respect from fans.

When you have two goal keepers on the bench for a league match you know you have issues. Added to that you have Dane Scarlett who Frank obviously does not rate and of course Tel who started to look good and then has not been seen since.

I sincerely hope I am wrong, but as Indy would say, "I have a bad feeling about this".

You are assuming that we will play that far forward to actually necessitate a number 10

 

[Spoonman]

With Sarr, Xavi and Bergvall unavailable the midfield selection is hardly a surprise. Lack of options on the bench is a worry though.

 

[Lilbaz]

2 gks is baffling on the bench. Give lwb a place. He might not play but we aren't going to use 3 gks. At least he'll get to know the first team.
