Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

Prepare to be disappointed then, not sure Pep could have been more clear where his priorities lie for the rest of the season.

No point in gettig to a final and not play a decent team, might as well have thrown it months ago

Play that team and that's a 1 nil spurs win, spurs will sit back and counter with Son and Bale from how they set up now under their new manager. Sterling, Jesus and Torres against a defence parked back won't score. Mendy against Bale or Lucas is asking for problem's.

Nothing wrong with Sterling and or Jesus but we have to get the ball to them. Against Chelsea we havd Fern and Rodri in midfield and it was only when the subs came on late in the game that we could get our forwards into the game.

Apparently Kane is out for Sunday. Not sure that actually suits us as means they will play with son, bale and Lucas. Pace on the counter..... gulp

If we'd have known when the final was we may well have done. We didn't though.

Kane is a huge miss for them, we are heavy heavy favourites even with a changed team.

Put out a decent team
Get the job done .Use all the subs then everyone buzzing for the midweek game

That’s gotta be the first time in a pep press conference he openly admits about having an eye on a future game. Usually says next game is the most important etc. He really wants the champions league and I expect a very rotated side.

steffan

Cancelo
Garcia
Ake
mendy

fern
rodri
bernardo

sterling
torres
jesus

although stones is suspended and is free for PSG game I think pep will go with Laporte who imo has been player at a higher level than stones since the international break

Fucking hell we might aswell not turn up

Kanes massive for them. He's the reason they got a point against Everton.

 

[chaddblue]

The only thing that makes me think he might go reasonably strong is that he said KDB is available

Wouldn't he have just said he is getting better but won't be ready for sunday if he had no intention of playing him?

great news if Kane isn't fit. They're twice the team with him in there
