More importantly, Spurs can potentially finish this season anywhere between 6th and 10th. Each place slip down the table will cost THFC at least 1.5m quid. So more than just pride at stake for those put on the team sheet today.
How's he looked at that Villa performance and thought, "That wasn't too bad. More of that, please."? Hojbjerg's going to play every minute of the league campaign, unless he gets sent off or injured, again. I'd have dropped virtually everybody though, so my choices would've been even less popular. Beating incoming.
Mason has got a Skybet accie on Lesta getting in the CL + Kane not finishing as "golden boot" winner.
Having had a quick browse of the bench, perhaps you're right! Nile John's an 18-year-old midfielder who has split his time between the U18s and U23s, for anyone who was wondering. Came on for the last ten minutes of the 4-0 walkover against Wolfsberger for his debut in February.
He has definitely been encouraged by Levy to pick the players that Levy wants to sell. Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Reguilon, Højbjerg, Winks, Dele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.
I don't think that you pick a **** lineup if you want to increase the value of and interest in the players selected. I also think that we'd have picked a bunch of those left out, if that was the case. Ndombele, Lo Celso, Aurier, Sissoko and half the bench, for example.
No need to take me literally. I was just having a little fun. However, this isn't about increasing the value of our players. This is a quick bargain BOGOF tacky and desperate sale. Pile 'em high, sell cheap!
