Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Phil1]

Or i could be talking bollocks

Must. Resist.

I would play the team below

Steffan
Cancelo
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernado
Gundogan
Mahrez
Jesus
Foden

Cancelo and Jesus are out of form but are the most likely to get back in the groove imo and two out of form players may be ok - four defintely not. Laporte has not done well against Spurs on a couple of occasions so would need a good game here.

Sterling available as an impact sub - aside from him the bench is not great in terms of impacting the game if we are trailing (assuming KdB is still out).

I have woken up fearing the worst

I`ve thought the worst since I saw the team picked for the FA Cup Semi final.

I hope I`m wrong but I think we`ll get another throw away team selection.

And all in vain, we still no left back and no goal scorer.

Zinchy is my pick for lb, always, if i never see mendy again it will be too soon

You lot do make me chuckle with your pessimism if Pep rotates a bit. Playing well, only Kane, Son and Lloris make it into your second 11. Maybe Bale if you don't want to worry about defending your right flank. Possibly Ndombele if you want to be entertained but you aren't fussed about midfielders tracking runners

We've been awful since December, Kane isn't going to be 100%, Son is off form and Lloris is either a great shot stopper or prone to a mistake.

I'd fully expect a comfortable 3-1 in your favour except I've got a feeling someone (probably Aurier!) will do something stupid and we'll play 75 minutes with 10 men. In which case the only thing stopping a cricket score is if you take it easy with CL in mind.

Enjoy your afternoon. I doubt I will :-)

I was going to say good luck in CL, you deserve, it but then I remembered I want Poch to do well- for him, definitely not for PSG as I never want them to buy their way to CL success. Even in the battle of the oil state football clubs: at least you have got some history and proper fans.

And thanks for walking the league. It's preferable to any of Utd, 'pool or Chelsea. I don't even include Arsenal in that conversation these days!

Uneasy feeling about this. They always seem to turn up against us and I can't see baldy going balls deep and putting his strongest team out for this and PSG. Hope I'm wrong and we smash the cunts.
