Spurs (A) Pre-Match Thread

It's certainly an ideal time to give the younger players some game time for the rest of the season, nothing to lose and if the likes of Garcia shine it'll save us money to spend elsewhere.

I'm hoping that we don't do the ten minutes of intense pressure, fail to score and then concede to their first shot routine. Not too much to ask I should have thought.

Good luck with that.

Spuds away? Reckon the VAR debate thread will go ballistic around dinner time today.

Totally disagree. Pep has to get the team functioning again prior to CL. 2nd not yet assured either

I reckon that Pep might partner Garcia with Fernandinho as I suspect The General may be knackered after all his recent exertions. A 2-1 win for Spurs beckons thanks to a dodgy Ali penalty and a late Moura strike.

Maybe part of getting the team functioning involves trusting younger players to show the experienced underperformers how it's done.

He's going to chop & change anyway, may as well include Garcia & Foden as 'regulars' while he's doing it.

It's not like we have CH's coming out of our ears & Phil is in my humble opinion worth a proper place in the squad and by that I mean playing time.

I have a bad feeling about this one. We should win comfortably but after the relentless profligacy on Wednesday not feeling too confident. Maybe it’s because we’ve lost every time we’ve played at the new ground (once).

Spurs managed to get results against us a few times in the last year without playing particularly well. It would be nice to see us being ruthless and clinical for a change.
