Bissouma and Forster will both miss today’s game too through illness. So Richarlison’s the only one in line to make his non-competitive debut in terms of this summer’s news signings.
Squad numbers of new signings: Forster - 20 Richarlison - 9 Sarr - 29 Perisic - 22 Bissouma - 38 Lenglet - tbc Perisic and Bissouma’s may change though, so basically I think Bissouma’s waiting for Winks to fly out of here so he can take the 8 shirt whilst Perisic is likely waiting for Rodon to go to take the 14 shirt, or possibly Scarlett to change number and then take 44.
Straight into things for Richarlison. Debut for Austin as well. Looks like we might actually get Gil in his natural position too!
Yeah I just paid for it… begrudgingly, lol. Think it makes more sense for Son to finish the game to be honest, don’t think anyone’s playing 90 mins so having him lap up the adulation at the end makes sense to me. I expected all the internationals that returned later than others on the bench anyway so surprised to see Richarlison start. Everyone else in the XI had been training all last week with us.
Didn’t see him on the subs bench either from the line up I saw on Google…maybe I didn’t scroll down enough. Im not surprised to see Richarlison start tbh…this is Conte…time is always of essence…none of this 6 months bedding in ****e
Working so can’t watch it and tbh I wouldn’t pay or sign up for SpursTV or whatever it’s called anyway. Hoping Bryan Gil in particular has a good game and show Conte he’s good enough to compete for a place next season.
That’s definitely a penalty, ref has let us off there. Sanchez a lucky man. Skipp, Gil, Lucas and Richarlison all looking lively so far. Bentancur, Romero and Emerson doing ok too.
I think we’re going to like Richy. Shown a couple of nice pieces of skill already and he’s a hard runner. Shoutout to that Romero backheel in his own box earlier too. What a player that man is.
Dier picking up right where he left off last season, driving in from the right to belt one in with his left foot.
