Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[northstandgiveusasong]

Only from a fitness point of view, it would appear wrong to play our strongest side with Wednesday in mind. However on the flip side, why not play the strongest side, win the cup hopefully and carry that momentum into the semi v PSG. Surely they can do this?

And semi's to a large degree.

Hopefully that debacle makes Pep pick his best team today.

Will somebody please remind Mr Guardiola that we can use five substitutes, six if extra time needed. A substitute usually needs at least 15-20 minutes to get into a game, so no last minute jobbies. If he plays 16-17 squad members sensibly, we can still win the treble.

I think we will see this game and trophy sacrificed for the CL game.
The usual under-achievers will play and we will go sideways and backwards with the ball, spunk away chance after chance, and then get beat. Pep will have to come out with the excuses of ‘too many games, tiredness, chances missed’ etc etc etc. It’s like a broken record. If they CANT get motivated and perform for a Cup Final, maybe they don’t belong at this club and need to be moved on.
You only have to look at the desire and heart of Foden or Bernardo when they play. If only those who are pretending to be professional footballers could produce half of their performance, then they might be selected more often.
I honestly think we will see Sterling, Mendy, Torres, Cancelo putting in comedy performances again today. With the rest around trying to cover for them.

Its sad to say, but I think there’s too many egos thinking they deserve to play, but are too busy ambling around. All teams now know how to stifle us, but our main problem is over complicating putting the ball into the net.

Cheers pal, I'll let him know.

Its wrong for the fans going if they get there today and have to watch Torres, Sterling and Mendy.

If they start we will get smashed.

That's an awful post on so many levels.
Some of our fan base are getting far too disrespectful to the team and manager.
Three full international players being talked about as if they are only good enough for fucking Southend Utd.

We’ve got the European semi final in 3 days, get a grip.

We've got a cup final this afternoon you get a grip. You can't plot your way through these kind of things. Sometimes you have to roll the dice how many trophies you want to throw away for the first leg ?

The gamble game is palace and if we are lucky Leeds may do us a favour this afternoon. Players can play today and Wednesday. A couple may be swapped tactically anyhow. We have around 14 players that would figure in a pretty strong team.

 

[yaya jamie]

Strongest team.

2:0 up.

Make five subs at 60/65 to protect the players needed most for PSG.

Easy right? Lol
