please log in to view this image Tuesday November 6th 8pm Champions League Group Stage Wembley Stadium A successful trip to the Midlands, albeit one that cost us another injury and a lot of frayed nerves. The Last Chance Saloon is here for the Champions League though, so our weakened squad will have to step up and be counted. PSV have continued their winning streak in the league, defeating Groningen and Vitesse since our last meeting. They did have their first domestic setback though, as they were knocked out of their equivalent of the FA Cup by 2nd tier RKC Waalwijk. Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Wanyama and Dembele are all likely absences for this one. No suspensions for either side. Lineups for each side's last league game: Spurs: Lloris; Trippier, Foyth, Alderweireld, Davies; Sissoko, Dembele, Winks; Lamela, Kane, Moura. Subs: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Sanchez, Skipp, Eriksen, Son, Llorente. League form: WWWWLW. PSV: Zoet; Dumfries, Schwaab, Viergever, Angelino; Rosario, Pereiro, Hendrix; Lozano, de Jong, Bergwijn. Subs: Farnolle, Room, van Osch, Behich, Sainsbury, Mauro Jr, Obispo, Ramselaar, Gutierrez, Malen, Gakpo. League form: WWWWWW. Referee: Ivan Kružliak (SVK). A fairly young, upcoming official. He took charge of a number of matches for English sides in Europe last season. TV: BT Sport 2. Injuries are piling up and so are the fixtures. Who gets the nod for the midfield spots for this one? Foyth isn't in our Champions League squad, so he'll be replaced, but should anyone else from our defence sit this one out? Did you spot any particular strengths or weakness in the opposition in the first leg that we could target in the second?
***an-Walcott??!! That sounds very close to what I heard people shouting at a former Arsenal player (before he left them) when he was being carried off injured, and chose to remind us all (digitally) how many goals his team had scored.
I assume the unavailable are guesses? Dier should be back soon and Wanyama if he is in the same situation as Ledley could be ready for another game? Unless these have been announced?
Is Gazza registered for Champions League? He wasn’t on the bench vs PSV yet has been in the Prem and also played vs West Ham in the league cup.
Since Twitter's busy spreading misinformation, here's our complete squad Goalkeepers: Lloris, Vorm, Gazzaniga, Whiteman, Austin Defenders: Trippier, Rose, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Walker-Peters, Aurier, Davies Midfielders: Son, Winks, Lamela, Wanyama, Dier, Sissoko, Dembele, Alli, Eriksen, Lucas, Amos, Skipp Forwards: Kane, Llorente Let's just ignore how UEFA registered Dier as a defender and Dembele as a striker for now...
Cool. So should see Gazza starting tomorrow then all being well. Maybe UEFA thinks it’s 2008 and not 2018, when Dembele was actually a striker for AZ?
Strongest team possible please Poch, Gazza Aurier, Sanchez, Toby. Davies Sissoko, Winks, Moura, Alli, Eriksen Kane
Anyone going tomorrow? I was so angry after the away game that I swore that I'd not go to the return match or the Inter game. Also, I've had the flu (properly diagnosed by a Doctor and everything) and am still feeling ****ty. However, I want to support MP and the boys after the Wolves win and MP distancing himself from RM and I don't want to have a **** attendance on my conscience when we need to be backing the club. Suggestions? Addendum: MP says..."We cannot ask more from them. We all expected to be in the new stadium. Only we can be grateful for them as to be at Wembley for them is tougher than it is for us. We hope we can pay back all the effort by winning tomorrow. It’s the only way we can repay them." I'm going.
UEFA pitch inspection issue before this game due to the state of the pitch... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46101323 I sense a fine coming.
Quite possibly. I'm sure that it'll be contractually down to Wembley to reimburse the club as the usage was theirs that screwed it and we only pay per game to use it now.. It makes a complete mockery of the idea that they could sell the stadium to Khan to make a fortune out of, whilst being a fit place to play top level football. It's not multi-use at all. Between the Joshuah fight and the NFL games, the pitch is ****ed completely.
Looking at the enormous number of tickets available, it's just as well that I am too. It's not Barnsley bad but it's not great!
