Well there's something none of us expected to read a couple of months ago...

 

The 'no' refers to whether they are available to play. LOL I think we might have deduced that from the dates.

The info is from Physio Room which has proved fairly accurate in the past.

 

@Citizen Kane called the team selection.

 

We are now the in form Sissoko has been dropped

 

Feel sorry for sissoko he has never been a favourite of mine by a long way and probably never will be but at least in his last few games he has put in the effort.agree with the side poch has picked with what is available to him because of injuries. For those of you who have travelled upt north hope you have a great day out and watch out for old men in flat caps walking their whippets .

Sissoko dropped for Winks? I wonder if an MOTD pundit will be moved to do a little slot highlighting Wink's good work this week? Last week's slot on Sissoko was comical - wait til they see someone who can actually kick a football.

 

Winks will be subbed after 50 minutes and Sissoko will have to come on the stem the flow. He will lead us to a heroic defeat rather than a winks inspired humiliation

 

Sissoko has been much improved in the last few games, but there’s still squad rotation to consider.

 

Nah mate, he'll be the one smoking a spliff holding a sign that says "**** skiddy"!

 

Why is Dele starting? He's been poor.
Why is Davies playing? He's been good recently so is due a bad game.
We ain't beaten them in 45 years and I don't see that changing today...terrible record!

That looks like a blacked up tweeny

 

As Roo suggests, I don't actually think that Sissoko's been dropped.
He's played to a decent level recently, but he's started five of the last six games, including the last four on the trot.
Pochettino loves a bit of rotation and I think this is just another example of it.

 

Kane with an early shot, but he really should've passed it. No space at all.

 

Have Huddersfield touched the ball yet?

 

First cynical foul on Kane. Never getting the ball.

 

Decent shot by Smith and forced a save from Lloris. Defence wasn't great, there.

 

How is that not a foul on Alli? Saw the tackle coming all day, then tapped it away and was kicked.

 

They are out fighting us and are quicker to 2nd balls....need to take the sting out of them and quieten the crowd down
