It'll be interesting to see who why have fit for this and if their loss v Newcastle was to rest players for this. Either go play a full strength team and hope to put the tie to bed and rest players in fa cup OR rest everyone and take the tie to the next leg at home. Hopefully some players get time like chiesa and jota up top and Endo and quansah and Bradley.
I say we go as full strength as possible for this, rest any that need resting from sunday - maybe put Bradley in for Trent if he's ready to play 90 or close to. We have the FA cup game for rotation at the weekend.
it'll be interesting to see how spurs set up as they threw the league game this weekend with players coming on playing far better. if they are sick then maybe thats all they could do.
Look he has now sent his message to the board so I think this week we are looking at dropping him if he doesn't sign the reputed contract that was offered. I doubt such a contract was offered but we will see.
I've felt for a while that he has no intention of staying and I'm reaching the stage where I don't want him to, tbh. The one thing I can't forgive in a footballer is a poor attitude.
Cannot believe it that he wants Manchester United to beat us. MO Salah was putting in the shifts..Silly Trent!.
You cannot deny his team selection was utterly stupid and they massively improved second half with the players that should be starting coming on.
So spurs availability. No budgie, romeo, Van den ven, Davies, vicario Players like Gray and dragusin were sick on the weekend and tried to play and struggled. Forster - shoot low is my advice Porro - vital for them Reguilon - back from loan sent on at lb v newcastle Hardy Spence - moved to cb, hardly a cb bit still. Bissouma - absolutely vital to spurs. Must play. Sarr. Was awful at the weekend on his own leaves gaps everywhere and is one players thst ange is driving forward and is a problem Kulusevski - absolutely skinned Robertson. Their big threat Maddison - only on at half time. Must play Son - on his day a major major threat. Solanke. Big donkey. If our cbs are off covering trent then he gets space. For me there's threat going forward but we should be absolutely slaughtering that back line. If we play half paced again then this is very possible to lose. The players who start for us have to want this result.
I can deny anything i want . The laughing emoji was because to "throw" a game normally implies they intended to lose which they clearly didn't.
He needs gsme time but spurs won't get rough with jones so it will be OK. Elliott needs to start at least one of these cup games this week. Chiesa will play in the fa cup
