Away to Chelsea. Wednesday 4th August 7.45pm.
Home to Arsenal. Sunday 8th August 2pm.

The first three games are free on Spurs TV, but the details are yet to be confirmed.
Some people had some issues with it last time. Hopefully this will be a smoother experience.

Pre-season training continues:

I wonder if there'll be an opportunity for Parrott or Scarlett to push their way into contention for a squad place?
I suspect they'll only have limited chances and we'll start a winger or two up front, unfortunately.

 

Paskotsi has been seen training with the first team, while Scarlett has a squad number

I've just checked and the log-ins from last season still work, so you don't need to bother registering again if you've already done it.

 

Well goddamn, I actually remembered my MySpurs password within three attempts for a change...

 

When you realise our formation this afternoon will likely be something along these lines...

Given the players available to him, I'll be surprised if we don't play with wingers. Maybe 4-2-3-1?
Parrott and Scarlett both starting seems incredibly unlikely, too. New manager though, so who knows?

 

Another way to look at it, these players won't be featuring today

Goalkeepers
Hugo Lloris
Josh Oluwayemi*

Defenders
Toby Alderweireld
Davinson Sanchez
Joe Rodon
Ben Davies

Midfielders
Pierre Emile Hojbjerg
Giovani Lo Celso
Moussa Sissoko

Forwards
Harry Kane

 

Yep, that's nothing like I expected!

 

Looks like Skipp and Tanganga aren’t quite ready yet. Excited to get a look at John, Paskotsi and it’s always fun to see Scarlett. Anyone know who Cesay is, looks like he’s playing RB.

 

He's an academy player, Kallum Cesay. A midfielder who can also play fullback, apparently. 18.

 

Good luck working out the formation from that lineup, because based on where they play it looks like we're playing 3331

Hart

Carter Vickers Dier Paskotsi

Cesay Winks John

Lucas Dele Bergwijn

Scarlett

 

John and Cesay playing as wingbacks, maybe?
Looking at the whole squad for today, there seems to be a load of midfielders and no fullbacks at all.

 

White played LB for the U18s a couple of seasons ago, Eyoma plays both CB and RB while Lyons-Foster started as a RB before moving into CB

Central midfield is likely to resemble the autobahn in this one, isn't it?

 

Link to Spurs TV for the game already being extremely slow/not working FYI all. They've had similar issues in the past, I think.

 

...and it appears that Spurs TV is overloaded

The direct link worked for me, for some reason. Couldn't get on any other way.

 

Orient fans exclusively applauding taking the knee. Interesting. Bunch of ****ing Marxists.

 

I think it's a 4-2-3-1 with John in the midfield and Paskotski and Cesay playing fullback.
We don't have Anthony Gardner playing left-back, for anyone watching without sound.
