*** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Stoke City ***

Whats the point of having a back up striker if we are just going to use Kane every game? fudging ridiculous.

Tend to agree. Harry looked tired in the last week. This is a perfect chance to play Vinicius. I don’t get it. Other than that, it’s the right team. Good to see Lamela back in the squad too.

Team pretty much as I would have expected, though would have liked to see Kane given a break.

I'll make the usual comment though it rarely happens "hope we can get a couple goals up and take him off"

Because there is a big drop in quality between them and Mourinho wants to win this. Let's hope that we get comfortably ahead and can bring off Kane and Hojbjerg early

Lamela is back...BOOM!

 

[milo]

Hojbjerg is the player who has played the most minutes in the squad

 

[Yiddo]

We all know we will be 1-0 down by half time and Son will have to come on aswell.

Then concede with 5 mins to go and all hell breaks loose?

ridiculous

...Kane... should be no where near this team.

It’s ok. Charlie Adam no longer plays for them

"With 4 goalkeepers unavailable (3 injured, 1 cup-tied), Stoke start former Liverpool back-up Andy Lonergan v Spurs tonight. It's his first competitive game since March 2019 for Rochdale. Joe Allen, Jon Obi Mikel and top scorer Tyrese Campbell are all unavailable."

Lonergan master class and Oakley-Boothe hat-trick incoming. Merry fudging Christmas you filthy animals.

@Baleforce, on your own head be it.

James McLean is my most hated footballer of all time. No one else comes close.



So he’s bound to score the winner.

What about their former animal Adams? The one that nearly ended Bale's career?

I’d take him over McLean any day. McLean is a prick on the pitch but an even bigger one off it.

Totally agree. Madness.

Semi Final up for grabs here, lets hope we turn up.

 

[markysimmo]

3-0 Spurs, we'll be easy
We will then draw Brentford in the SF

So if he really can't play back up striker, will we see Vini's loan terminated and look to get in someone better?

Hard to believe there is a bigger taunt than Charlie Adam

I doubt it. Anyone better would want more minutes. Besides, he's new to the league and it's his first stint in a major league, he may improve.

 

[Pirate55]

Big audition for Dele coming up.

Big audition for Dele coming up.

Indeed, it a chance to show that he is worth more playing time and lets hope he takes it.

 

[elyid]

Wimmer seems to be out on loan which is a shame.
