    Yeah I’m with Power and RCL. It’s not a must win game but obviously one that’d be nice to win to top the group. Good few need some minutes as well so this is a perfect opportunity for it, helps them keep as fresh and ready as possible to jump into the team when we rotate a bit with the heavy fixtures ahead.

    Hart
    Doherty, Sanchez, Tanganga, Davies
    Winks, Lo Celso
    Bale, Dele, Lucas

    A win means we avoid the CL dropouts

    No it doesn't. In fact we have more chance of drawing one if we win, because we can't draw Man Utd.

    Permutation time

    Seeded CL dropouts: Ajax, Shakhtar Donetsk, Club Brugge, Man Utd*
    Unseeded CL dropouts: Dynamo Kyiv, G Fuel Vienna, Olympiacos, Krasnodar

    As for the EL, here's where things currently stand

    Seeded: Roma, Villarreal, Hoffenheim, Dinamo Zagreb, Arsenal*
    Unseeded: Crvena Zvezda

    Everyone remember, it's PowerSpurs' fault when we get drawn against either Ajax or an away trip to Donetsk!

    I'd rather not face the possibility of Spurs drawing the
    likes of Napoli or Roma in the last 32 because they
    went meh on finishing top of the group tonight.

    The team that DH picked should be good enough to win this match if they go out with the right attitude. They also require game time and if these players are not good enough to beat Antwerp then we surely have to ask the question are they good enough to come into the premier league team when they will inevitably be required at times later in the season.

    5 at the back? I’ve been as critical as Dele as anyone but surely this is a game he should be starting in?

    Also, how long before we start losing our collective **** at seeing a Winkselso pivot?

    More likely a back three with Reg and Matt supplying the ball to Vinni.
    Agree re Dele.
    Nice to see the youngsters on the bench again.

    Dele should be starting IMO.

    Hart, Doherty and Sanchez were awful last time out, big performances needed from them tonight.

    With this team selection I can see our midfield struggling!

    Why the hell are we starting Reguilon and not playing Alli? That formation looks a right mess.
    We might have been better off sticking White in the middle with Winks.
    Lets hope that Bale's up to doing a bit of defending this week.

    This is why he has gone with a back 3. Davies to help out the weak pairing.

    Everyone's got the complaining about no Dele in before me :D

    No idea what that line up's supposed to be.
