Dembele again? Thought after Thursday he'd be given a break! Would have liked to see Sandro maybe. Rose out. That could cause us issues if it's anything more than 1 or two games as we don't have any decent cover. I want a win from this and am confident but if at the end it's a draw I won't be too disappointed.
Seems strange that he's been omitted, doesn't it? Injury or illness that we haven't heard about, perhaps? His interviews about being on the bench or Adebayor being in the reserves would seem a harsh reason to leave him out.
I expect Defoe to be starting on tuesday. And there has been ITK talk that Adebayor is refusing to turn out for U21 games (Spurcat may be able to corroborate that) .
I know we don't have many options at LB, but there's a reminder why so many of us hate naughton playing there. Horrendous pass, but outstanding from Hugo!
