Alderweireld against Werner will be scary enough. Hopefully Toby has finished wetting the baby's head by match time.

Sanchez's pace is a must I would say, Tanganga on the left as well
I'm sorry but that's wrong.
Lactic acid will have cleared by then. It'll be back to baseline values within a few hours of the end of the game. But there's no denying that the extra days rest will have allowed the muscle fibres to replenish fuel, particularly glycogen.
No reason why they couldn't have played the wolves game on Sunday and us on Friday. Or even the Burnley game where neither team is in Europe.
Having played Villa 2 days before this one, and Chelsea following about 2.5 days later, think we need to rotate a little to ensure we have a couple of fresh players v Chelsea.
Think I'd start Ndombele with a view to replacing him with Lo Celso in the second half, and start Tanganga to rest Davies (JM said he wasn't fit enough to play all the games) for Chelsea - after Chelsea we should have a free week..
Rested/not selected : Davies, Parrott ....and maybe Lamela if fit

Is it true that Leipzig are missing Konate, Orban, Adams and Upamecano for this one?
If so we push them hard for goals and play Tanganga, Sanchez and Alderweireld with Aurier so we have sufficient pace to deal with the high line we'd should adopt.

The Villa line up almost certainly had this game in mind ... Davies got 90 minutes in his legs and baring a negative reaction should be available for Wednesday. Ndombele got more time off as did LoCelso.
I could see Moura getting sat down for this one, whilst we will want to win we will want to make sure we don't lose just as much, will we go with Toby's experience or Sanchez and Tanganga's pace?

I would usually agree about Lucas getting a break but we come off of a winter break so hopefully his legs won't be too heavy for Wednesday and Saturday. Get these two out of the way undefeated and we are set up hugely well as we kick onto the home straight.
I'd go with a high line, expose their apparent defensive misses in Konate, Orban, Adams at DM, Upamecano and use lace at the back to compensate.

Dele shouldn't be starting this one. His finishing was poxy earlier so I'd like him, along with Lamela, Gedson offering depth from the bench. Tough break if it happens but I think this is a game for pace, especially if they are missing those heavy defensive numbers. Ndombele off around the hour mark for Del or Gedson, depending on how the game is going. Still undecided if I'd go with Dele from the off and Tanguy on the bench but Del needs a bit of fire in him, let's see if an hours worth of splinters on his arse does the job.
Because it’s quite obvious to any sane person, that you thought Mourinho had won three. It doesn’t make you less of a man to admit your mistakes, but this type of denial is just plain weird. Are you that insecure?
lol. I made a big jump there. Glad you called me out.
Perhaps a back three of Toby, Dav, and Tanganga with Aurier
Ok - for the last time...
In your OP you wrote Jose is on his way to win his 4th CL. When in fact he’s only won in twice so the post should read ‘on his way to win his 3rd’
Literally the entire forum has called you out on it - why can’t you admit you were wrong? Arguing otherwise makes you look horribly thick
Well, it turns out he won the league with United 2 seasons ago; so anything is possible.
Loved that swipe at Pep btw
Off work Wednesday so I’m getting up there double early, will most probably be in the bricklayers depending on what my mates are saying. if anyone is about early give me a shout
A nice piece of history for you Bricklayer dweller. Line 14 of this book I came across says that the first local to get his hands on the first major trophy we won, who went onto actually fill the cup was in fact a local Tottenham Bricklayer. I wonder if this is where the legend of drinking from the trophy actually began all the way back in 1901:
The rest of the book and its pages can be found on the below link if anyone missed the thread previously:
History - 1921 - A Romance Of Football - The History of THFC
I've just come across this lovely little site that is home to a 1921 published, 36 page book, page for page of the Romance of Football - The History of Tottenham Hotspur FC. A lovely little read for anyone who has the time and desire to learn about the early years from a book nearly 100 years...
