100% This - he'll get 10mins or so vs Spurs, 20-30 vs Arsenal and then start vs Bromley with Schar who'll have had a decent break with his suspensions. Be good to start getting some bodies like Krafth, Botman and Laceselles back in and around the squad.
Length of time that Botman has been out, and they type of injury, I would hope that they will introduce him slowly. Not confident about Saturday. While Spurs are very open at the back they are one of the best attacking sides in the league. Hopefully we can get an early goal. Suspect it could be a 3-2, hopefully to us.
Sure but you’ve got Hall vs Kulusevski, Murphy man marking Son and their makeshift defence vs Isak, Gordon, Joe and Bruno. I’m not counting chickens but howes comments are right, the tails are up, spurs are nervous and another quick start could see them crumble. Against Man U if Tonali scores it becomes a massacre.
Not much better times to play them tbh - 4 of their first choice back 5 out - Bentancur suspended, Richarlison out, Oddbert out, bug going around...
Hall v Kulusevski doesn't fill me with confidence. Hall still has a lot to learn about defensive positioning - he's great going forward but still gets caught out of position a lot. Kulusevski doesn't really track back but is very good going forward.
My only problem is I don’t do TNT Sports, give Sky enough ****ing money, so it’ll be Razer and Ando for me!
Lol, none of the Spurs team track back, they just leave gaping holes for other teams to rip through! With Van Der Ven out for them, I'd be disappointed if we drop points here.
Whilst a draw after our recent run would be acceptable, i really think this should be another win..loads of injuries, illness, manager on the brink, they are there for the taking like Man U were. Schar being out is obviously our worry. We need to be ruthless.
Or we don't just settle for a point and go for the win. There are 18 other good PL teams and Manchester United - were not just going to settle for a point otherwise we're just bottom half feeders
