please log in to view this image Saturday 21st September 3pm Premier League Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Too early for injury news, but Bissouma is likely to return while Odobert and Werner are likely to miss out. Neither side has any suspensions. Lineups for each side's last league game: Spurs: Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son. Subs: Forster, Spence, Dragusin, Davies, Gray, Sarr, Bergvall, Odobert, Werner. Brentford: Flekken; Ajer, van den Berg, Pinnock, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Damsgaard, Norgaard, Janelt; Wissa, Mbeumo. Subs: Valdimarsson, Roerslev, Mee, Meghoma, Konak, Yarmoliuk, Trevitt, Carvalho, Schade. Ref: John Brooks. VAR: Alex Chilowisz (US). TV: Not televised in the UK. How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?
Postecoglou's pre-match comments suggest that Richarlison and Odobert won't be available, but Werner and Bissouma should be. Sounds like the two omissions are going to be out until after the next international break, at least. You'd think that would be a long time, but it's really not. October 12th.
Richarlison has been injured for 207 days since joining just over two years ago. It's an absolute joke.
I got a ticket for this...so looking to another action packed display from Werner...soooooooooo glad he's fully recovered in time
He doesn't even look like the same player he was last season and that was far from perfect. Not getting down the line and putting balls across the box or missing easy chances. He's not even getting chances.
Sounds like Biss might be touch and go, I suspect Bentancur might start again. So most likely Vic Porro Romero VdV Udogie Kulu Bentancur Maddison Johnson Solanke Son Hopefully Moore gets a run from the bench! And great to see more game time for Gray (in midfield this time please) and Bergvall if we can. Wonder if we’ll see Lankshear on the bench too as he’s fit again and Richy is out.
Another disappointment on Wednesday was how he didn’t use Moore at all. If Werner is subbed on ahead of him again after that shocking display Wednesday that will be more than disappointing.
Personally would have left Romero out for Dragusin. Would have also left of Bentencur (he's gonna get a ban and is very out of form) and started Bissouma or Sarr. Decent buzz here before kick off though Just watching West ham implode on the TV screen in the ground
The Qarabag game is at home, so I assume Dragusin will start in that one (if away then I would agree with you) . Bentancur : what games will the ban apply to (domestic league/cups, UEFA) ?? Whatever games he can play over the ban period, then he should be starting XI.
Bentancur won’t start midweek, he’s done a few games in a row now. You’d assume it’ll be Bissouma to get minutes, or Gray to see him at 6.
Another game ...and another chance to reuse the well worn phrase 'we need to see big games from Bentancur and Maddison'! Whether we get them is another matter!
As I try to convince my wife on a regular basis, size is not everything, but from the two teams lining up in the tunnel it's clear that Brentford are a big team!! I imagine the Vicario is going to get plenty of attention!
