Tottenham vs Scum COC OMT

[Pirate55]

Badly want to win and win well. Same team as Sunday.

Only changes to consider are Eriksen for Chadli and Trips for Walker.

 

[Rorschach]

Let's be honest their second string could arguably finish higher than our first team

Ospina
Debuchy
Gabriel
Chambers
Gibbs
Arteta
Flamini/Wheelchair
Oxlade Chamberlin
Walcott
Welbeck
Campbell

They have a very good squad

I think they would loose that argument. Our 1st 11 are better than the best 11 from that bunch in my opinion.

 

[Pirate55]

Vorm
Trippier Fazio Wimmer Rose
Carrol Winks
Onomah Eriksen Townsend
Clinton​

That team would be massacred whatever team Arsenal put out.

 

[LutonSpurs]

Poch will mix it. Vorm has to play. Rose and Trippier need a run out and Wimmer, not sure where Fazio stands. Dembele and Mason in the middle if fit. Townsend, Njie and Lamela/Chadli and defo Kane. He needs minutes to get goals.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Are there still/any general sale tickets available?

That's the spirit.

Just looked on Stub hub and there are quite a few left at not stupid prices.....

Arsene Wenger adopts new approach to League Cup ahead of Tottenham clash

Arsenal manager will largely use competition to give match fitness to senior players who have not been starting regularly in Premier League rather than youngsters

Alex Iwobi and Krystian Bielik are the only emerging young players outside of the regular first team that could be involved for Arsenal against Tottenham tomorrow amid a change in how the League Cup is approached.

Whereas Arsene Wenger did previously use the competition to give senior experience to emerging young academy players, the club has been increasingly sending players out on loan.

flimflam!!

 

[Jordinho]

Mauricio on team news: "@mousadembele, @RyanMason & @nabilbentaleb42 are still out. Their progression is very good. They are close to being back with the squad, but not for Wednesday, unlucky for them and for us."

 

[Spur of the moment]

Sky reported earlier this morning that Pritchard is also ruled out with an ankle injury.

hogwash!!

What exactly is flimflam there?

What exactly is hogwash there?

Wenger stopped playing youth years ago. At most he rested a few of his best players, but if Fabregas and Henry didn't start, they were always on the bench to come on early in the second half when we've played them previously.

 

[SUIYHA]

Alderweireld and Alli both played 90 minutes against both Qarabag and Palace, Lamela and Dier both game close to it. To start them again for a third game in six days is a big risk, especially Alli who is still only a teenager despite his growing importance to our team.

If Mason, Bentaleb and Dembele are all still injured, our options become severely limited. And it's a terrible shame for them all to miss out as they've all bossed NLDs before.

Eriksen should definitely start. Am thinking N'Jie's pace may be good to bring on against tired legs particularly if it goes to extra time. Then again, Townsend tends to play better when coming off the bench so perhaps tomorrow is the time for N'Jie's first start and we can bring Andros on instead.

Some very tough decisions to be made. Time for Poch to earn his money here. I normally don't mind so much if we go out of the early rounds of this one, but losing at home to Arsenal is never acceptable.

And now let's cast our minds back to the time when Redknapp put out this XI for this fixture:

Pletikosa, Naughton, Bassong, Caulker, Assou-Ekotto, Bentley, Palacios, Livermore, Sandro, Dos Santos, Pavlyuchenko

Guess how that worked out?

Henry never played in the in the League Cup for Arsanal iirc..

Fixed.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Just looked on Stub hub and there are quite a few left at not stupid prices.....

Does anyone know if they mean it when they say "You can buy tickets to this match only if you're a One Hotspur member"? Will they actually check (esp for box office pickup)?

 

[90291Spur]

Gabriel is free to play. Thankfully Dier can speak Portuguese, so I guess there will be the potential for some verbal wind ups!

 

[Jordinho]

Henry never played in the in the League Cup for Arsanal iirc..

Henry might have been the one exception now that you mention it. I definitely remember Fabregas coming on early in one of the semi finals.

I swear fate is conspiring to make it not possible for me to watch any fuuuucking games this season. And if I record to watch the day after it's a nightmare trying to avoid the result.....

brick OMT by the way. Really quite poor.
