****Tottenham Hotspur v BVB********* OMT Official

I think Palace are wanting £35m for Mateta.... He's 28 and not exactly world class but he would fit Frank's 2 attacking methods of "hoof it up" or "cross it in" pretty well. If the club want to support Frank then he'd probably be a good option. If they don't want to support Frank (and I can perfectly understand why they wouldn't want to support him) then lets fire him and go again.

I would take a punt on Mateta this window, I would rather try for him than end up with Ivan Toney at 5pm on Deadline Day
 
I guess it will either be this way around (Spence left wing and Odobert right wing) or put Odobert over to the left wing, put Porro right wing and Spence right back.

Essentially it can/will also be a 4411 with the "wide forwards" helping Gray and Bergvall out by dropping a bit deeper without the ball.

With 16 players out, it is a bloody good team. We have a good squad.

Presumably Solanke will come off exhaused after 55-60 and Muani will come on, then we will use kids for anyone else that is exhausted.

And what about the two players pulling up injured in minutes 5-20? :D....
 
Four 17 year olds, one 18 year old, one 19 year old, one 20 year old and the experienced 21 year old Scarlett on the bench.

Bare bones.
Would be nice if we can at least give a decent account of ourselves for the first half.

Of course naturally we will tire and don't have the depth of player to bring on, but that would be something to cling onto for the upcoming fixtures....

Yes, 2 goalies, 9 kids, Scarlett and Kolo Muani

It will interesting hear if the situation is mentioned by BT. If this were Arsenal or Liverpool, it would be getting brought up every 5 minutes how young the bench is

Quite exciting though, what a day for those who come on (surely we must make some substitutions?)

I imagine BT will question why Frank is resting players for the league and not mention 16 players out…

It would be mentioned on a permanent on screen ticker before the match, during the entire match, after the match, and for another six months, at the minimum.
 
Imagine Frank with nothing to lose just going gung ho Ange-style and everything clicks. 5-0. A few months later and we’re winning the cup.

Happened last year, sort of.
