Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[hihosilva]

Your left back position is wrong on two levels. Cancelo has no business in the first team atm never mind a cup final.

Also Zinchenko has done nothing to warrant being dropped in a big match.

Cancelo has been excellent this season, maybe just dropped off slightly last few games but Zinchenko doesn't play the next two games .Pep will mix it up again this weekend

 

[Kunlover]

I think Steffen, Cancelo, Laporte will be the only certain changes (in place of Ederson, Walker and Stones). Then probably Fernandinho and maybe Sterling will play instead of Rodri and Mahrez.

Steffen
Cancelo Laporte Dias Zinchenko
Gundogan Fernandinho B. Silva
Foden G. Jesus Sterling

Strong team for Sunday, I don't think Pep will play once again a subs team like vs Chelsea.

We’re on a run of lose one win one at the moment - a sequence which if continued would see us lose to Spurs make the champions league final but lose it and finish on 83 points -

 

[simmo]

So looking forward to this game and being there in person all being well.

Play a possession game and pass the ball like tonight and we will win. Hopefully not too many changes.

 

[yeseye]

Rest Dias.

Not a chance,
Mans a machine!

 

[simon23]

Foden must start along with Bernardo, Gundogan, Dias

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Don’t care.

Are you high?

Strongest 11 for three reasons:

1) Fuck Spurs
2) It's a Final
3) Fuck Spurs

Assuming Steffen will come in for Ederson but other than that I wouldn't tweak the lineup too much.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Steffan; Cancelo Dias Laporte Ake; Fernandinho Foden Gundogan; Sterling Jesus Mahrez

I prefer the run of 26 wins from 29 tbh..

Steffan; Cancelo Dias Laporte Ake; Fernandinho Foden Gundogan; Sterling Jesus Mahrez

No chance

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Personally I would not rotate much now. Business end of the season. Potential first trophy.

Ederson
Walker
Zinchenko
Dias
Laporte
Fern
Gundo
Bernie
Foden
Sterling
KDB if fit, Jesus if not.

just no Mendy or Torres!

 

[Blue Theatre]

Hope to see a strong team, as would be annoying (after FA Cup semi) to effectively give-up the chance to win 2 domestic cups by not really going for either.

Also, Wembley is a long way to travel (especially during covid restrictions) to not see our best players.

Steffen
Walker
Dias

Any news tonight on Kane and KDB?

 

[xgorton]

Any news tonight on Kane and KDB

Pep says KDB could play Sunday,but I think Wednesday he will start.

 

[SWPISHOME]

I think Pep will play Ederson this time around ahead of Steffan.

Ederson

Cancelo
Dias
Laporte
Zinchenko

Fernandinho
Rodri
Gundogan

Mahrez
Foden
Bernardo

Really hard to see what Pep will go with.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Absolutely no chance Pep will play a strong team with PSG a few days away , expect a similar team to to the Chelsea semi-final and a similar outcome , but if the result is we finish with a Premier league and Champs league double it will be considered our best ever season.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Rest Dias.

We can't, Stones isn't available.
