Given Luton don’t press and won’t really get at us much with possession, I’d be more inclined to rest Bissouma with Hog than Sarr.
I'd 100000% prefer the dippers to get a game changing bad call again next weekend.......
Imagine.....
That's just nasty.........
And I like it.
Might be a good time to give Son a 3 week recovery period and try and fix that niggle (incl intl break), but unless someone is carrying a strain, don’t rotate / rest
At home. Played 4. Lost 4.
“Good run” I guess is one way to describe it. If you support Liverpool.
OK, this is really nit picking.
I am not a tactical genius (quelle surprise) but Sarr has not been doing much eye catching stuff. Hog has literally helped us win.
Biss has been excellent but I was a bit surprised he lost a couple of physical battles in recent games.
Sarr dominated that game until they went down to 9.
Watch it back, look at the ground covered and tackles won. I saw 2-3 press recoveries in their half and we were wasteful with them, should have scored.
He was great with Biss vs their press with 11.
Really really impressive performance.
Hog came on vs a very tired 9 men and did some smart things because he’s a smart veteran player. He can’t do what Sarr did yesterday.
But you know what, I’m not a tactical genius either.
I guess we are both agreed Luton is a game where Hojberg might be ok.
I think it's not a bad thing for players to think they are not automatic choices.
But obviously I can be nothing other than delighted with how our regular starters are doing.
I think Ange plays options he thinks wins games before he manages personalities.
But in the process shows them that nobody is entitled to play 90m of every game
How it must be.
Top form for a bottom 4 club !!
The encouraging thing is Spurs are gathering points without having yet gotten Postecoglou's attack fully developed. The possession part has come along nicely but the wings haven't yet started putting crosses into the box in quantity. It's going to take some more additions before we really see the system at its best.
We all support Australia in the cricket here, mate.
Against Burnley - so no resting anyone and a hard game, which they might win, and then be buoyed even more by the time they play us.
This game is going to tell us a lot.
It is arguably easier facing teams you are expected to struggle against, than it is facing teams who you are expected to breeze past.
Add the chance of going top and two weekend's of controversy and an unbeaten run, and it's easy to see how it can go wrong.
Really must be at our very best and yes, impose outselves quickly if possible.
Luton. As well as having the FOURTH BIGGEST AIRPORT in London, the town is also birth place of Monty Panesar, childhood home of Andrew Tate, home to the UK's largest one-day festival and of course, most famously known for being a total fucking shithole.
Nicknamed "The Hatters" due to Luton's hat making pedigree - back in the 1930s, as many as 70 million hats were churned out a year. Luton are making their first top flight appearance since 1992, the year Bill Clinton was voted President in the cesspit across the pond.
Luton have made a shaky start to the season, losing their first 4 games before turning things around a bit with a draw against Wolves and an away win against Everton. Due to the stadium issues at the start of the season, the game against Burnley got postponed, it's been rearranged for the 3rd, so they've got a game beforehand to contend with.
My predicted line-up - although it picks itself now.
Johnson - Son - KulusevskiThis is the last game before yet another dogshit International break nobody fucking cares about, let's go into it on high and retain the momentum from what's been a phenomenal start to the season under the breath of fresh air that is Big Ange.
Maddison
Bissouma - Sarr
Udogie - VDV - Romero - Porro
Vicario
