How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?
I do t think there’s much to debate with who’s available! assume Spence in for Udogie and bissouma in for Bentancur. Assume midfield three of bissouma, Sarr and Maddison/kulusevski depending on whether Johnson starts. Son left, solanke up top
Tomorrow is my 58th birthday...we all know how this'll end. I'm off for a boat trip up the Thames (I love doing that), a breakfast out, and pizza for dinner...so sadly no time to watch the match...
Happy birthday in advance young man! I'm thinking the smart move would be to stay on the boat and feast upon loads of pizza to dull the pain of the football....
I hope Austin has an absolute blinder today, if he is to play. There’s so much doom and gloom at the moment, it’d be nice for a fringe player like him to come in and prove himself. He’s got nothing to lose, as the injuries and illnesses have decimated us. If he can do the basics well, keep the defence as calm as possible, and pull off some routine saves I think the fans will really get behind him, even if we end up conceding 2 or 3. But I imagine the toxicity will be ramped up against Levy today, with the music turned up to “max” to drown out the boo’s! Certainly gonna be an interesting one, that’s for sure!
Austin , In the days of the Combination league the back up keeper got to play plenty of games and keep their eye in , what games does he play apart from squad training , the lad was raised in my home town and a lot was made of him joining Spurs at the time , if I recall, his father was a professional basketball player
