Personally if I was Nuno I’d play whatever I thought was my strongest team. Then hope it works and then play the same on Sunday. Rotation is great when winning but just need to get something going.
Dele at LWB?

Not sure if serious but I'd like to say I'm a more positive fan than not, but the last 2 years has taken its toll on my mental health, ie putting games before my now 2 kids (new baby girl in July), going out and getting on it for games and missing important family events etc.
After the West Ham game last season (3-3) I was devastated and my wife came back to me drunk, topless, alone and my spurs shirt ripped up on the floor asking me what the hell happened.
I need to try and switch off from Spurs as mentally the losses make me depressed, so the less I get involved, the less the impact of the negative result affects me, if that makes sense. If I don't see it I don't feel the result?
Just not enjoyable for me watching Spurs games, even now watching 30 minutes of the Arsenal game (normally I'd watch all 90), I think about it at night of what could have been, ie the signing of Tomiyasu over Emerson and its not healthy. I'd rather put my son to sleep tonight and talk to him at 8pmin bed whilst he nods off than put the game on and watch Spurs.
Sunday was the same, I had my brother and his family round for dinner so we could watch the game, yet at 2 nil was fuming, so switched it off and then played with my son and nephew in our cul de sac which they loved, that was much more soul filling than watching Spurs.
For some I get that Spurs is their life, and it used to be for me now but something has to change for me. I can't let if affect my life anymore.
Sorry for the life story but thought it would be best to put my side across, if every now and again I do come across more negative than positive.
Spurs may not need supporters like me, but I in fact don't need a club like Spurs in my life right now, successful or not, it appears.

It is nice having the responses on here from you all and it really wasn't the intention, it was just to give my side to some of my comments which can be taken a way that comes across as very negative. As mentioned I think my posts have humour to them but can also be taken either aggressive or just as I say, negatively. They really aren't. I don't enjoy it when people reply to one of my comments not how I expect them to, but I'll always respect their opinion, and hopefully not respond back angrily, I'll reply cheekily or laugh with them.That’s a very honest post, kudos to you for explaining. Your original post about not watching tonight’s game did sound a bit ‘can’t be bothered’ but your subsequent post is testament that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about people based on little-to-no knowledge of what lies behind their postings.
I don’t believe there is any other sport that gets into your system like football. I know people who don’t particularly follow football but who are into rugby or cricket but there is no comparison to the emotion and tribalism of football. It can be overwhelming and eat you up from the inside. Yet I wouldn’t swap it for anything else.
What can I say? Enjoy your family, that’s most important above anything else, but keep the faith that things will get better Spurs-wise.
And as for the 3-3 last season - at least you are not married to a West Ham fan.
There, I bet you feel better already.
I saw him at the AJ fight, was fully kitted up in spurs clothes as usualWhat's happened to Chris Cowlin?
Also that last comment did make me smile, my wife doesn't really like football. I took her to AVBs last game against Liverpool, when we were dating and she said "Tottenham aren't very good are they?".
I posted the same team earlier just with Winks instead of LoCelso.
Would personally play them every conference game until they show individual improvement.
Yeah it's a simple role just push and run. And defend. And run. Where else can he play

I hope that Dele and GLC can work out a rotation as to who is further forward --- got to have Dele ghosting into a forward position a la the late Martin Peters as that is what he is most effective and productive doing.Why would one assume that Dele is in the middle three and GLC in the front, when sanity would have it the other way round? Oh well, will be fun to see how Scarlett does.
The picking names out a hat strategy.
So frustrating that Romero and Lo Celso will be on the bench again vs Villa.
Good luck to young Scarlett.
