Absolutely, that perspective - I suspect - will be severely lacking without a result Saturday though

Andre Villas-Boas reports a clean bill of health after this week’s international fixtures.
We had 10 senior players away on international duty and all-but one featured, with Steven Caulker an unused substitute for England against Italy.
Kyle Walker, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jan Vertonghen all played 90 minutes for England, Iceland and Belgium respectively.
“We are assessing the players as they return, but there are no major things,” said Andre before Thursday afternoon’s training session.
“Gomes is out, Parker is out. Those are the setbacks at the moment. The rest of the squad is available and jumping towards selection.”
Sandro was back at Spurs Lodge today after collecting a silver medal with Brazil at the Olympics on Saturday and then jetting off to Sweden for a friendly.
Thursday and Friday’s sessions will be the first time the midfielder has trained with Andre.
“He’s had the best of pre-seasons, which is playing time,” added Andre.
“He had his rest when the season finished and he has been active and playing.
“He only played for two minutes (for Brazil against Sweden) last night, so you could say he’s fresh. We’ll assess his level over the next couple of days.”

So interested to know how AVB lines up. With Sandro back, I really do hope JJ is way down the pecking order.
VdV and Sig's roles intrigue me the most.

Anyone would think I was blonde. Totally forgot about them both. Dawson no idea why, Caulker probably becuase he hadnt featured in pre-season.
So yes, scratch Bassong for sure, but couldnt tell you which of those two and Gallas will miss out.
@ Volspur. Personally I would have Livermore over Jenas, but I feel AVB wont. Regards Gio, I would have put him on the bench but I dont even think he has trained with us yet, so I doubt he'll make the bus/plane

So he's finished his suspension?

Too many Burger Kings on the way up the A1. Seriously, not sure if AVB fancies him either

I like Naughton, and would really like the idea of him in the squad

Paul Stalteri
Me too. Looked very solid for Norwich every time I saw him and can cross a decent ball as well. imo he's 2nd choice LB and RB behind Benny and Walker. None of this sticking Kaboul out right or Verts out left unless we have to, Naughton will get plenty of games this season hopefully. Rose really should have a loan sorted out by now
