Pacos Ferreira v Tottenham Hotspur (Euro Conference) Thursday 19 August @ 19.30

[Yorkshire_Spurs]

Would probably play Dele, Skipp and Bergwijn. Full summers rest with no international football and all looking to build confidence and form to stake a permanent place in the line up.

A goal could do Dele & Bergwijn the world of good and the minutes will allow Skipp to continue his development with Tottenham.

GK - Gollini
LB - Davies
RB - Doherty
CB - Romero
CB - Rodon
MF - Skipp
MF - John
MF - Dele
LW - Gil
RW - Bergwijn
CF - Kane

I would imagine a strong line up Thursday, its a good opportunity to get up to speed, and Id think the intent will be to kill the tie early.

So still no Sessenyon? Or Scarlett ?

 

[Billy Bob mate]

Not sure on the rules but if we could somehow cup tie Kane for European competitions that would be hilarious.

Well he's in the squad so either it can't cup tie him I guess.

Probably cos it's a qualifier?

 

[NorseYid]

Difficult to guess, we've got to rotate as we've got a game on Sunday but who knows how serious this tie will be taken.

Personally I'd rest Dele and Bergy, but not sure how good shape they are really in at this(*) stage

(*Dele was blasting it on sunday, mind)

I would probably go with Kane if the intention is to keep him for next season as embedding him back in the team quickly will be crucial.

Sess, I was under the assumption he was injured, but if not would lean towards him over Davies as very interested to see what he can do for us.

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Perfect game to bed in the boys.

As long as Romero, Gil, Gollini and Rodon get some minutes, I'll be happy.

 

[ElTel]

UEFA have announced the ECL anthem to be played before every game

 

[Ulrika Jonsson]

PEH played virtually every game last year and I expect to see him in the team. As did Dier.

This is a must win, we are not in the group stage yet, so I predict the following

Gollini
Doherty-Rodon-Dier-Davies
PEH-Winks
Moura-GLC-Gil
Son

Nuno will want to blood new players, not throw them in the deep end

But away goals are so important?

The away goals rule will be scrapped from all UEFA club competitions from the start of the 2021-22 season, the governing body has confirmed. The rule was applied to determine the winner of a two-legged knockout tie in cases where the two teams had scored the same number of goals on aggregate over the two matches.
Way to go uefa, let’s remove as much excitement as possible

 

[Ulrika Jonsson]

Kane won’t play. ECL is beneath him.

Fuck, Spurs are beneath him to his mind

 

[Oracle]

If Sissoko and Winks start ANY GAME together this season I will be upset. One at a time please if at all.

If the Kane farce is sorted by then,i'd stick him on the bench and bring him on.

But otherwise would go with that.

If he wants this weeks £300k pay cheque he will.

 

[Ulrika Jonsson]

Also Romero has to earn his place. Dier and Sanchez have done nothing wrong under Nuno.

yet.

 

[Downunderspurs]

If Kane was off would they have included him in the squad listings?

Think it will be a mix of first teamers with some rotation

 

[Downunderspurs]

Did Nuno rotate a lot with Wolves in the Europa?

 

[Matt1882]

Also Romero has to earn his place. Dier and Sanchez have done nothing wrong under Nuno.

yet.

There was a point yesterday where Dier had the perfect opportunity to step forward and take a fairly routine ball out and either hump it or pass it out.
But as is always the case, he stood there like he was watching a different game, the ball went to a City player and they had a chance, which they conspired to miss themselves.
That is Dier and Sanchez to a T. Keep a clean sheet despite them and they get praised.
Wait until Chelsea, who actually have a functioning attack, throw the kitchen sink at us.

Some players are motivated by money / lifestyle stuff (Bale anyone?) but I don’t think Kane is one of those. He will shit on his soon to be ex-wife to bang the hot chick he met in the pub, and maybe go home with said hot chick but not because he thinks she’s loaded. He’s doing it to have A trophy to say he’s done it.

So you think he's happy to throw away hundreds of thousands rather than have a kick about in sunny Portugal
