Spurs (a) pre-match thread

[Gabriel]

Down to the bones, I suppose. Feel a little sorry for Bernardo and what happened to Danilo?

[Wretched Vengeance]

Happy with that, although I thought Bernardo may have started.

 

[Bozo]

Good team, depending on what Ilkay turns up ;)

 

[citytill1die84]

Feel for B.Silva he does pretty well when called upon but can't cement a place.

 

[Gabriel]

Good to see the kids on the bench,not that either will feature.

Gundogan is the weak link.

Got the opening goal the last time. Here's hoping.

 

[01cravend]

Not sure I fancy Gundogan tracking Dembele carrying the ball from midfield. We'll dominate the ball though to minimise these occurrences. hopefully

see sterling is on the spuds bench lol

Not a very strong bench though is it?

I think Gundogan is a very good player but he isn't really suited to the Fernandinho role and he is nowhere near the level os Silva or KDB. He doesn't really seem to fit. Hopefully he steps up today.

Probably as strong as we could go apart from maybe Bernardo.

 

[simon23]

Ilky needs to start stepping up bug time in the next few games or his place next season should be (rightly) under threat. Needs to show it today but i fear for us if he is playing he defensive midfield/pivot role in there today

the rest of the team picks its self at present with injuries......

 

[ojeme]

Why do I keep forgetting that Dinho is suspended? When I saw Gundo in the line up I complained in my mind but I then remembered that Dinho is out.

KDB will have to play deeper here.

Let's hope for the best.

 

[dadnlad]

just stop them crossing the ball

 

[zandvoort blue]

I actually forgot this game was tonight. Shows what little interest I have in saturday night games.

 

[cookster]

Looks a very strong team with the ball, not so sure without it.

100% agree...he is more of a scholes type player but where does he fit into our team....take silva or kdb out and let him do the role and we aren't as good.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Got the opening goal the last time. Here's hoping.

And did next to nothing in term of defending or tracking back.....but,indeed,lets hope

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Not content with Pogba having the freedom of our half strolling away from Gunjogan last weekend, he's now put him in Fern's role.
