These are at least as good as Man Utd and we bottled that one big time.
Can't see us winning this

Their defence has been struggling ever since Boly got injured and the unexplained drop of Ryan Bennett. I'd be dissapointed if we didn't at least score once
I would love Foyth to start over Alderweireld at CB.
Has been good every time he's played there, and Toby has been at fault for every other goal we've conceded.

Alderweireld's distribution from the back is far too good to drop him, it's almost integral to how we're playing at the moment.
Wouldn't be against Foyth at RB and being the third CB at times in possession but with Aurier rested thats unlikely.
Foyth is just as good with the ball at his feet, but you're right about Alderweireld's long balls.
I'm just concerned that's the only reason he's in the team ahead of a better defender (at this point in time), particularly when it's clear that our defence is the weak link.
I would expect to see the same team as against Burnley - no question. Foyth won’t be CDM as he wasn’t played in that position yesterday; GLC not good enough to buy a starting place and Moura is good for the counter. Sissoko has to start to cover Aurier as Moura doesn’t track back.
Team picks itself. Be amazed if Dier didn’t start and play 60-75 before coming off.
Jose plays the percentage game, which requires picking the best team available, not the best players. These are the only players for this formation.

I can't say I've noticed that Alderweireld is the issue when it comes to our defence, which you're right is alarmingly leaky. I think we'll be more solid with Vertonghen at left back on Saturday, with a more compact three at the back.
I'm quite confident going into this game, I'd like to see Ndombele start but I won't be surprised to see he doesn't. It'll be pretty much the same eleven as against Burnley and we all know it.
Try the great weston really old school pub few wolverhampton spurs will be in there
Don't know why spurs don't go for a cheeky bid for the wolves right back he gets up and down the flank and also bags a few goals. No brainer
Gazzaniga; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Dier, Ndombele; Lucas, Dele, Son; Kane

Isn't Ndombele long term injured now? IIRC he is in rehab still and not yet training with the lads. Happy to be corrected.
Long term? I thought it was described as a knock.
