Anderlecht Vs Tottenham: Match thread

[Nine while nine]

So, in a rather neat twist, this season sees both our third ever match in the Constant Vanden Stock stadium (having played there in 1984 and 2007) and our final ever match at the Constant Laughing Stock stadium - or "the Boleyn Ground" as the locals like to call it.

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

Yeah. Can't trust those bloody Dutch. Especially the ones from Belgium. They're the worst.

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.

Poch said he may make a sub appearance, or not be involved at all. He won't start

Should play our strongest team and win when we can. Belgium is a short flight fatigue should not be an issue. Away to Bournemouth should be 1 of the easier games this season.

The Dutch?

Bastard pedants they're really the worst!

'The Dutch in Belgium' - you mean the Flemish ?

Emphasis on the word "should"!

 

[nipponyid]

Some of ours have already been attacked in a pub last night....Stay safe out there lads!

 

[spursbhoy67]

Safe travels to all our fans heading out to the game. Let's have no repeat of the Brian Flanagan (RIP) incident in '84.

 

[kazzah9]

They're decent, won't be an easy game, hopefully some get rested tho

 

[garryparkerschest]

They are a good team and should show the tournament a bit of respect.

My team for tonight would be

Lloris, Trippier, Davies, Alderwerield, Wimmer, Dier, Dembele, Lamela, Eriksen, Townsend and N'Jie.

And depending on fitness play Mason in the latter stages. As we're short of strikers I would have taken Harrison with the first team squad for the experience. I have high hopes for the lad.

Any of their players we should watch out for?

Praet and tielemans

Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld has revealed that his brother is likely to be working as a policeman at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Thursday where Spurs face Anderlecht in the Europa League

I have a good feeling about us in the Europa this season. I think the manager wants it, the players want it and the fans too.

It is a fantastic goal for this young squad.

Big teams will be drawn into it from the CL, possibly even 2 or 3 english clubs I believe but we have a great chance.

 

[Insomnia]

Win the Europa then play the CL Winners in the Super Cup , oh yeah & qualify for the CL next Season. COYS

 

[Ghost Hardware]

So if Kane is going to be benched tonight, does that mean it will be Andros right, Lamela centre, Eriksen left and Njie up front I wonder?

 

[Lamelad]

It would be good to see N'Jie start up front on his own. See if he can use his pace if we give him nice through balls.

It's a good suggestion. Maybe try forwarding it on to the club?

Unless lamela plays we won't be seeing any through balls
