Tottenham Hotspur vs Shakhtar Donetsk, Sunday 6th August, 14:00

[Coys1955]

Only downside to today so far was the bagel bar, mine was quite soggy and £6.45 for a tomato and mozzarella filling is taking the wee-wee in my opinion.

And we have a winner!

Mrs. P has to start the "The New Food is Rubbish" thread.

 

[GGTH]

Son has gone on the outside a few times and put in some crosses.

I haven't seen him beat a fullback to do it, only through positioning.

 

[sudoku]

No changes?

 

[Jenny Talia]

It's funny, but a fair few were criticising Maddison before and after he signed but if that isn't a Tottenham player then I don't want to know who is

Took a minute to get past his Bale nonsense, but it's all good now.

 

[Zest]

Well I never, you learn something new every day!

Get up, get up, get out of your lazy bed…

 

[thinktank]

Style doesn't suit him.

Sonny may well find himself playing a squad role under Ange.

 

[bonaspur23]

Son needs to be within shooting range of the goal. He has none of the qualities required to be an effective winger who is instructed to stay wide

Which is why a lot of us would like to see him at CF if Kane leaves.

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

Unchanged from the first half.

 

[Starks]

Luckily (if you actually take pre season seriously) none of the other clubs above us in the league know how to defend either.

Man Utd have conceded 9 goals
Woolwich have conceded 7 goals
Chelsea have conceded 5 goals
Man City have conceded 6 goals
Liverpool have conceded 10 goals

Davies - championship garbage, should have followed Winks

Yes but some on here still think his good enough for a team looking to get CL football. Just imagine him v barca or citeh. He should have gone years ago. But let people on here keep saying he can do a job!

 

[bonaspur23]

Unchanged from the first half.

So these are the starters then for the most part.

Well we do have Barca in 2 days though.

 

[Airfixx]

No changes as HT

 

[GGTH]

You don't have faith our players will score goals in this set up?

Fair enough. Who am I to convince you. I'm telling you pre season means sweet fuck all.

I'm sure they'll score here and there, the 8s for example are doing their jobs well and get good chances, but it's obvious that under the current setup the frontline will struggle.

 

[Kaz Hirai]

Style doesn't suit him.

Sonny may well find himself playing a squad role under Ange.

Unlikely, more like he ends up tweaking the formation to get the best out of him.

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

Style doesn't suit him.

Sonny may well find himself playing a squad role under Ange.

He's better suited for the central striker role in this system. Hopefully he is moved there if Kane is sold. He and Richi can rotate in that role.

 

[Carl Johnson]

We’re far from ready to face any PL side

Brentford are killing us next week, a 4-0 battering from Mbeumo and co wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[Steed_Train]

Davies - championship garbage, should have followed Winks

He's also not a centre back and I doubt he would really proclaim to be one either

 

[todd1882]

Kulu just so so easy to defend 1v1 out there...

 

[deadleyledley]

Signs that this team might start versus Brentford.

I'd rather see Bissouma and Solomon.

 

[mistayif]

Is bissouma injured or something. In what world does holjberg get on in front of him
