This sheds light on who will be in the team against Swansea. I reckon Lamela, Sissoko and Moura will be keeping their FA cup places. Looks like Davies will be starting too and a hopefully fresher and sharper Dier.
Not a bad line up. Surprised Son and Alli are starting for different reasons. Son because it looked like he ran himself into the ground on Wednesday and Alli because he's underperformed lately. Hopefully Mousa will be alright today, I feel he's not looked great when having to play in quick succession so here's hoping I look stupid on that statement. The FB rotation was obvious. Big performances needed from both. Bet Moura is loving leaving PSG's bench for ours.
We're doomed, I tell you!! Adam Smith MOTM, Charlie Daniels to score a screamer from 30 yards and Hugo sent off for diving!!
I suspect that Pochettino has explained the situation. At least Moura knows a full Spurs pre-season and he will be starting next season on an equal footing with the rest of the squad.
Possibly but I find it strange that we sign a quality attacking midfielder, who’s impressed in his only two starts in the FA Cup yet barely gets a chance elsewhere. The whole integration thing is understandable for players who are either young or played in far superior sides in the past but Moura’s come from winning league titles and trophies along with CL experience, granted he didn’t have much game time this season for PSG but it doesn’t seem much has changed for him since he’s joined us. Stats wise Alli has racked up assists but his general play for a while has been more a hindrance than an advantage. Not sure how he’s managed to keep starting when Lamela is fully fit now and Moura is in the squad. Cue Alli having a blinder now
Daniels has done really well since leaving us. Happy for him and Smith. Depending on Rose and Bertrand’s form and fitness, I don’t see any reason why he couldn’t be a dark horse for the England squad.
Like the look of this line-up to day. Team should be full of goals 3 maybe 5. Its going to be entertaining at very least. COYS.
Rose has had his ridiculous mop chopped! Maybe we’ll get the old Danny rose back! Oh my god... how have Bournemouth missed that?! Massive let off!!!
In fairness, their furthest player forward was between the edge of their box and the centre circle. They were so so deep. This is an awful start. Awful.
