***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v The Garibaldis (will Marinakis eat his own club with a cuppa?), Sat Sept 5th, City Ground, 3pm***

[NaijaSpurs]

That is such an unambitious starting lineup

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

Strong bench. It would be nice if any of them was able to do more than five minutes.

 

[SteveAWOL]

Fernandes on the bench. Is that the knock?

Our medical department working their magic on our new recruits, just like they did on the previously ever-present Solanke?!

 

[NaijaSpurs]

Why not play Marmoush in the 10 and start Solanke

 

[Zavod 311]

Why not play Marmoush in the 10 and start Solanke

that would require common sense

 

[Spoonman]

Fernandes on the bench. Is that the knock?

Astonishing isn't it. Every week, another 'knock' to an important player. It seems we are just not allowed to put out a strong team and build any cohesion.

I'm just sick to death of watching us have to put out a compromised 11 every week.

Puzzling. Or left.

Don’t it’s still raw.

Dumbest transfer decision we have made in years.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Rather than struggling for a stream or GHod forbid listening to the radio, I've ended up in Doncaster, and like a typical tourist I've nabbed a ticket and a ridiculously oversized kit on offer at the club shop. Is this what they call "doing a gutterboy", just picking a different Yorkshire team? It's not a tantrum based on the fallout with Richy I promise, at least it won't be his fault if we lose. I was up here anyway and haven't seen any live football this season.

Tbf Spurs and the rovers share one similarity, we're both 20th in the table, but in league one that's just outside of the relegation zone. Let's hope we'll have improved on that position come full time, that'll take a big improvement although I haven't seen Forest this season. Feeling a first goal from one of the new signings but fudge it, we'll take it from anyone at the minute.

It's a decent ground and experience. My best time there was our Dos Santos inspired League Cup win under Redknapp. Enjoy! But I would suggest heading to somewhere more metropolitan like Sheffield after dark

That midfield is horrible.

Marmoush and Savio are going to have to salvage this on their own

 

[Gutter Boy]

What is de zerbi up to?
Won't be surprised if the fans get impatient with him if it's another loss and I won't blame them.

Two more losses and I reckon the "he's magic, you know" starts again

He's got to get some minutes out of Fernandes, Kudus and Kulu, or he's going to be seriously in trouble.

Hasn't he just signed a new contract with USMNT?

 

[Daisuk]

Has he said anything about Fernandes and a knock? So odd that he’s not starting.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Hasn't he just signed a new contract with USMNT?

We just blew £100m on Tonali. Paying him out would be peanuts in comparison

 

[Yiddo.1882]

8 of today’s starting 11 probably make our strongest side, it’s only Fernandes as the #6, Savio switched to the left and a fully fit Kudus on the right and Deki/Madders/Xavi at #10.

 

[Lost Mango]

That took all of two weeks until the Poch Fan Boys started their whispering campaign. Class.

 

[Mrs Vert]

Not enthused with Tel and Conor playing but hey ho

 

[revlis]

Jesus fudging Christ glad to see most people have already written us off and ready for the manager to get sacked again.

Tel and Gallagher the spacegoats should we lost today.

Agree. But Fernandes is our regista, combined with all 3 of our #10s being out, is crippling us offensively. Its just the worst combination of players to be missing

If he keeps going like this your mate will have some competition ;-)
