Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Paris Saint-Germain

The club announced a 22 man squad for this match:
Keepers: Vicario, Kinsky, Austin.
Defenders: Porro, Spence, Romero, van de Ven, Danso, Udogie, Davies.
Midfielders: Palhinha, Bissouma, Gray, Bentancur, Bergvall, Sarr.
Forwards: Kudus, Johnson, Odobert, Tel, Richarlison, Solanke.

Thomas Frank has since ruled out Udogie due to fitness and Bissouma due to repeated lateness.
I assume that these numbers will be bolstered with some youth players.

PSG will be without Donnarumma, Neves and Mayulu.
This is due to being left out, suspended and injured, respectively.

Ref: João Pinheiro (POR). VAR: Tiago Martins (POR).
Pinheiro was in charge of our 2nd leg victory over Alkmaar in March.

TV: TNT Sports 1.

How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?

 

Interesting pre match comments from Davies.

Sounds like Frank is the polar opposite to Ange. He adapts and changes his tactics depending on the opposition, as opposed to trying the same formula over and over again and then expressing sheer surprise when it didn't work.

 

First shiny shiny trophy up for grabs this season.
Whatever formation/tactics necessary to win.

Any observable hints about the managers'
CL humiliation mitigation strategy this season
will be a bonus.

 

Think I’d go with:

Vicario
Porro, Romero, Danso, van de Ven
Bentancur, Palhinha, Sarr
Kudus, Richarlison, Johnson

Not sure on Solanke’s fitness and the debate I had in my head was Spence or Danso in the back line, went with the latter just to give us a bit more of a defensive presence against what is probably the best attack in world football right now.

 

Bissouma left at home for continual lateness , he had the same problem under Ange , get rid and get someone who wants to play for the club
