Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Fordyboy46]

can see this being a really tough game. Expecting a complete abomination of a starting line up

I wouldn't be surprised if Steffen, Ake, Garcia, Torres, Mendy, Jesus and Sterling all start. Not going to be pretty

 

[Heath Park]

No fucking about today.

Strongest side every game now.

Steffen
Walker Dias Laporte Zinchenko
Gundogan Rodders Bernardo
Foden Jesus Mahrez

Correct approach.

Christ that wouldn’t be something to look forward to.

Surely Eddie has to start then if there is no fucking about?

Would be happy with either keeper. I'm kind of on the fence about the team as a whole. If fielding a weaker team means we're more likely to beat PSG then I'm all for it.

But if 6 big wins means 3 trophies and they're fit enough to cope then I can't argue with fielding the strongest team, other than the potential risk of injuries but I wouldn't want to be the one having to make the decision.

If we were playing Spurs in 2006, we’d be on the end of an inevitable defeat with Robbie Keane and Steed Malbranque on the scoresheet.

And a Dunney OG

Wonder if we might see a back 3 (Ake, Laporte and Dias hopefully and no Garcia) with Cancelo and Mendy as WBs. Fernandinho plus 2 others in CM and Jesus up front with either Sterling or Torres.

Not what I want to see but just wondering if it might be a possibility.

20 odd minutes until the nuclear fallout and Pep's team selection , can't wait :) Knives at the ready.

Peps team selection will drop just as the rags go 1-0 up lol

and set the tone for the afternoon ? F*cking hope not

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Whatever about Kane, Son & Ndombele always play well against us. Stop those 2 and Spurs will find it difficult to get any momentum.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

First time some of our fans have been able to watch us live in over a year. They deserve a good line up at least today

 

[akrh215]

I will be curious to see the line up today I think there will be a rotation with the cl game in mind I wouldn't even be surprised if sterling or aguero play maybe they will show some good form who knows but I will prioritise the cl game

Stop those 3 they'll be no Bluemoon Inquisition!

 

[Heath Park]

Crying out for a strong lineup...
Get it won, then take players off.
12 mins to go.
Tick tock...

 

[stonerblue]

Phil, Walker and Zinch all to start please.

 

[kaz7]

Ten mins

Stand by

Come on pep

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Surely we'll need Walker's pace (even if he is prone to a mistake), but that can be said for both the next two games.

I reckon Pep will want Cancelo in the side, so that can only really mean at left back for one of the next two.

Zinchenko, I believe has firmly established the position as his own, but rotation will say otherwise.

 

[mccity]

So here's my guess to the team:


Steffen
Walker
Dias
Aké
Cancelo
Fernandinho
Rodri
Gundogan
Sterling
Jesus
Foden
