*** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Wolves ***

I'm still chuckling at that

It’s true though
And not in the squad is what I find odd

That is strange. He's a willing runner if nothing else. Injured?

 

[Daisuk]

Maybe Winks, Ndombele and Højbjerg will match well and do some magic? One can hope anyway.

Pass
We (as fans) don’t know the real state of the players but Jose does like him so I’m surprised

So you conclude from the lineup that Mourinho "knew" they wouldn't play a back four?

Doherty and Reguilon as wing backs suits them very well and should allow them to attack more. Winks in for Sissoko gives us more quality on the ball.

I don't think a back 3/5 is inherently more safe than a back 4. It all depends on how we play. Wouldn't be surprised to see us sit back quite a bit, but hope we have more and longer spells where we have more of the ball.

Calm down, just going by the tweet @milo posted earlier, asserting as much. I didn't conclude anything.

No Banjo Shins either

Explain that one to me?!?!

 

[MKSpur]

Looking at the bench the I am really surprised to see Sanchez and Davies start. Winks may help us keep the ball end shift it out wide quickly. Share the concerns that Vincius cannot make a bench of 9.

 

[Baleforce]

Sissoko and Lamela left out of the starting eleven, brave.

<very worried>

I always love a back 3 on paper... then hate a back 3 in reality.

Because nobody quite takes responsibility... the 3 centre backs all leave the ball to each other and look aghast at one another when a free player nuts it home. And because suddenly it becomes a back 5 and we cannot 'represent' in midfield and we get pumped.

Hopefully I'm wrong

So do we think Ndombele is playing an advanced role still or in a 3 with Winks and Hojberg?

Moura... controls the ball like a someone hitting a banjo

 

[Kandi1977]

Aurier dropped for the pelanty incident then?

Think Doherty would be picked anyway. Player playing against their old club, tend to do well.

 

[Baleforce]

I expect we'll see it more as a 5221.

I guess closer to Kane than Winks and Hjobjerg

 

[NorwegianSpursFan]

Got a sneaky feeling we’re playing both davies and reggie to have two left backs doubbling up on traore..

 

[Dicko]

Do you think players are getting covid and its being kept quiet in some cases? Don't want to start a conspiracy but Bale disappeared for a week or 2 with an unspecified 'illness', then came off after 45mins, and now Vinicius is not even in the squad without a mention.

I assume this can be shot down with pictures of Vinicius in training this week right lol?

Is this one of your typos?

I remember Traore ripping us apart, and each player taking turns to hobble him and get a yellow. It was brutal; Sam Allardyce would wince. If Traore is "on it" tonight we are going to be in trouble as soon as we start getting yellows.
Let's hope he isn't up for it, or someone kicks his patella off for a bit.

Probably ahead of them both (just on the edge of our 18 yard box!)

You know, that time you try to hit a banjo's cow with a barn ass?
