Go in, grab a result, and take care of business at home. We have three points at Bournemouth to worry about.

Hope to see some of you in Delerium on Wednesday night 2,500 beers!

 

[Trix]

I think we will do ok in this one. Just hope the fans are bright enough to forget what happened decades ago amd just enjoy the game/atmosphere.

Any of their players we should watch out for?

Dennis Praet, their number 10 has big potential, was voted best player in Belgium last season, is only 21 and is starting to be noticed by big clubs. I am a fan of his and really wanted us to look at him. Very intelligent midfielder who can play ether behind the striker or deeper in a middle two/three. He is their primary playmaker.

Apart from that i would assume most will probably know of, or heard of Yuri Tielemans from the likes of Fifa and FM, at only 18 he is considered one of the brightest young talents in world football. Have no doubt he will go to a mega club in a season or two and most likely never look back. He already has three goals and one assist in seven games this season.

Time for our belgian lads to show their influence

They were lucky to even be in that final. It should have been between us and Forest. Just like Benfica in 1961, but at least Anderlecht got caught. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-anderlecht-are-punished-by-uefa-1240826.html

that was a very long time ago. Dad and his mates were all sloshed. all sorts of rumours of trouble were falling on their deaf ears. I was but a teen, back to the hotel pretty early.

Depends whos travelling, possibly without tickets, but hopefully their law enforcement agencies are bright enough to deal with the risks.

Aren't we overdue ''cough'' some team news ''cough''

A couple of players back from injury would be nice news ?

Ryan Mason is back in the #Tottenham squad for #Anderlecht in the #EuropaLeague tomorrow night. Full story on the way #THFC

 

[carpediem991]

In a vid from the official twitter account I can see:

Lloris, Vorm, McGee
Rose, Davies, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Wimmer, Trippier
Dembele, Dier, Alli, Winks, Onomah, Lamela, Eriksen, NJie, Townsend, Mason
Kane

Haven't spotted Faz or Walker would mean two will be removed for the game and I guess that will be McGee and unfortunately Onomah.

 

[Roynie]

Ryan Mason is with the squad. The official THFC Twatter account shows them going out on to the Anderlecht pitch for training and he is with them.

Edit: Damn you carpediem991, you beat me to it!

 

[yankspurs]

Lloris
Trippier Toby Wimmer Rose
Dier Winks
Dembele Onomah Townsend
N'Jie

Vorm, Vertonghen, Mason, Alli, Lamela, Eriksen, Kane

Out: McGee, Davies

Gives games to Trippier, Wimmer, Winks, Onomah and Townsend. Gives a rest to Vertonghen, Alli, Kane, Lamela and Eriksen. Brings Mason back in slowly. I think we could get a goal or 2 out of that XI. If we need goals, we have guys on the bench who can score(well, we hope)

 

[Mr Pink]

Sounds like Poch is going to rest Harry tomorrow night....which is a good move IMO.

Lets see what Clinton can do through the middle, looking forward to seeing that.

 

[Romulus]

lets start to get Onomah involved

 

[N17Jack]

Unfortunately I have just spoken to a mate who arrived today and he says the locals are not friendly. I'm going out in the morning but it looks like trouble apparently

 

[Roynie]

I think Poch will want to give Mason 60 minutes or so to try to get him approaching match fitness for the weekend, then replace him with either Winks or Onomah to give them some experience. Of course, depending on Mason's state of fitness he may do the reverse and put him on for the last 30 minutes, but I don't think it's likely as if he breaks down he won't want to use 2 subs for the one position, so put him on first knowing he will be subbed at some point anyway.

Unfortunately, the Dutch have always had a reputation for hooliganism and trouble would not surprise me at all.
