Another step on the road to belief and trust in what RDZ is trying to do.
This is a new group.
And he is right! They need to grow as a team, need to love each other, fight for each other, kick ten shades of merde out of the opposition for each other, protect each other, celebrate with each other, berate each other, and most of all, demand that every ounce of sweat be left dripping from their soaked Spurs shirts onto a pitch of which they have covered every inch.

We also need to BELIEVE.
I am not talking about blind faith or even naive optimism. I am talking about belief!
It becomes contagious quickly, starting first with the COMMITMENT to believe that good things will happen, then seeing effort as those responsible try to make that so, then enjoying the ride as this reciprocal action starts to take off, building momentum which in turn leads to glory!!!! Yes yes, a bit 'wordy' but I'm not an Ai chatbot and you can allow yourself to look down the alleyway of optimism without necessarily thinking it means instant success.
It's simple.
If you like what RDZ and the club are building, then reciprocate with faith and belief. Because without OUR belief flowing from the stands and the streets, then it will be so much harder for anything to happen.

I firmly believe that under RDZ we will never see as lack-lustre an effort as we saw last weekend, and I actually believe it could be a result which sets us on a great course quicker than we might've imagined, if only because we know EXACTLY what we have to do to become what we want to be.

I don't expect this match against the Geordies to be easy. It's never a straight-forward fixture, that's for sure. However, I believe.
I believe we are making the right steps.
I believe we are looking to play football the right way.
I believe we are getting the players back healthier -and signing ones who improve us.
And I believe we will see the benefits of all this in the coming weeks...but that has to start here. In this match.
And WE have to believe.

Let's make our home a fortress.
And let's enjoy this new era, with perhaps a little more measure (in my case anyway) but with no less optimism and certainly full of belief...

My guess at the team...

Kinsky

Porro VH Davies Robertson

Tonali Fernandes

Savio Bentancur Tel

Solanke

SUBS: Dubravka, Van de Ven, Gray, ********, Bergvall, Danso, Gallagher, Udogie, Moore

p.s. New era, new belief = new OMT rules i.e. when it's ready to go up, it goes up as long as the previous match was the day before...and welcome to the Dub Master Mr Lee Scratch Perry, who was crazy like a fix and never gave a flying fu ck what anyone thought. A maverick, a maestro, a man of N17 culture if ever I could imagine one!

Saudi Sportswashing Machine are playing like Brentford now. Hope RdZ and the boys are ready. Clean sheet would be a good result imo as we have not stabilized the defence yet. I hope Tel gets a goal, he's been working hard and improving.

Borrowed this as it works for me:

Interesting couple of choices.

Wouldn't Fernandes be the 10 and Tonali and Bents be the double pivot. Either way, at least we won't have Toon's normal midfield of Tonali and Guimares in our face all game.

Not really caught up on the injury news at centre half. Are we saying Davies plays ahead of the others or is the only fit centre half. Perhaps you're saying that getting used to RDZ's philoophy means getting used to no Danso.

We have to see nothing but fight and intensity in this one for 90 mins. Not sure it will be easy on the eye, but should be a good game.
 
Tonali can do the hybrid 6-8 role

You could be right, yes indeed.
Personally, I think that Fernandes pulling strings from slightly deeper alongside Tonali would be great. At this moment I suppose I'm seeing that third midfielder /10 as either Bentancur or Gallagher, and I just think there's more about Bentancur in terms of nous, plus he's strong and physical, so with neither Gallagher or Bentancur being traditional 10s, and both being more 'physical box crashing' types, I think I'd rather see Bentancur there (who'd be a coach)!!!

I think with regards to CBs, I'd want VdV to have a little more game time in him than starting immediately here, and that means Davies would get the nod ahead of him to start right now for me. Same with Udogie (if we're managing minutes until fully fit) hence Robbo for this one. For me, Danso will always be a squad player. The manager backs JPVH so I think he starts. Solanke's goal last night was the most important for me because boy, he needed one, and he will have more confidence at this moment.

We have to be quick and fast, play with a tempo and swiftness. I actually think this could be quite a wild match.

One thing I am seeing is that we are very close, maybe one or two more signings away, from having a very competitive squad on paper. I think at least two will be off before the window closes (it feels that Richy won't be here, plus maybe one surprise if we can get Gakpo in) and once we get the likes of Xavi back after the New Year, then the fun really starts.

Maybe I've missed it but is Senesi unavailable then? "Dropping" your new ball playing centre half at home for a utility defender would send some messages in my opinion. If he's injured, fair enough.

Senesi will know he had a less than acceptable performance on debut. He'll surely be champing at the bit to show Roberto what he's all about having not had that opportunity in the midweek game.

All well and good, but I’ll be there, so we’re royally f ucked.

You (again) could be right. Personally, and for this moment, I'd rather have the experience and overall nous of Davies (who is also more reliable in the air). I think in a game like this, if you were going to play Senesi, you would then need to play Danso.
 
I get the argument for more minutes in VDVs legs but I’d want both Udogie and VDV starting against a pacy Saudi Sportswashing Machine attack that will undoubtedly be playing on the counterattack.

Is that Raquel Welch?

Booked this ages ago and my lad's league pulled their start date forward a week to this weekend. Was resigned to having to miss it but I believe their game is postponed this weekend so I'll hopefully be over for it.

I've seen us win 1 game in a row at home so with stats like that, we'll be unbeatable.
 
It's possible that Saudi Sportswashing Machine could be facing a forward line of Savio - Solanke - Marmoush.
Which is wildly different for them to prepare and defend against compared to last weekend's Tel - Richarlison - Moore
