    Agreed. There were moments where you could see a glimpse of the old Bale. I think he needs a run of games, and would also start him tonight. His mere presence worries defenders in a way that Lucas and Stevie never will. They know they are always at risk of falling to one moment of magic. Even if it's his set piece ability which let's be honest pisses all over other options with the sole exception of Winks on his left foot, it gives them what to worry about.

    I'd also prefer Lucas/Stevie to come on and run at a tiring makeshift defence. I don't think they've done enough recently to warrant starting.

    So having said all that, I'm expecting a midfield of Winks, Hojbjerg and Sissoko with Lamela in the front 3 <laugh>

    Jose will wum us stupid...

    I expect the line up to be...

    Not as good as he once was

    Brain fart, very poor, very old, golfer

    Nearly burnt out

    Can't pass, can't tackle, can't run

    Ain't scored for a while

    Soon to be injured

    Subs... wants to go to psg, can't sell him, why did we buy him, why?, who?
    can't give him away, used to be good,
    thought we sold him

    Ha ha me too! It is such a critical game that you know we will lose. And I’ll be in such a bad mood if we do lose winning money does help a bit. I’ve put a fair amount on as well so I really hope I’m a poor man later!!

    I asked two of my students who are 12 years old and support Spurs for their predictions. One said 2-1 to 'pool , the other said 3-2 to 'pool.
    It's nice to know the future generations are already up to speed and know who they support.

    Not Davies? Edit: No, I think you're right. It's five at the back, isn't it?

    Presume he’ll be the LCB wouldn’t he? Unless Doherty is playing as a RCB and therefore Davies LWB?

    Time will tell, you may have already played a blinder, watch Matip play like prime VDV tonight and you will have done your job well.

    Seems an unnecessary risk, to me.
    Why play someone out of position when we could just pick another centre-half? We've got two on the bench.

    Thats logical thinking though, when was the last time that Jose picked a logical line up?

    Davies is left-footed, so presuambly it's to avoid that half second of a player shifting the ball onto their good foot and conceding a penalty for...something

    Can we? Sure. Tanganga didn't even make the 20 man squad.
    Will we? **** no! <laugh> You started the season with 3 senior centre-halves. You're missing Lovren more than he's missing you...
