Match Threads PNE Vs Spurs

[thecook]

Come on guys, at least save the moaning until we've kicked off

Richarlison becoming a real flop of a signing. £60m, not a single domestic goal this season and always injured.

Massively premature to say he's a flop. He was playing well prior to his injury in October. He did have a few poor performances on the right, but that's his worst position and it was in a team without Kulusevski (so bereft of creativity). Then he played 80 minutes after doing his hamstring in the warmup of a World Cup quarterfinal and hasn't been back to full fitness since.

Once he's fully back from his World Cup injury and is playing on the left or up front, I think we'll see the best of him. He was a standout performer in Qatar and is a very good player. Way too early to say he's a failed signing.

I think we will still win, I just don't want to keep seeing Tanganga and Sanchez given another chance

Why? Dier and Davies get chance after chance?

 

[nferno]

Don’t like both sess and perisic playing, in the interests of conserving energy for the tail end of the season, but Conte knows better than me I guess

 

[nedley]

Smell an upset.

However, I'm excited to see Bissouma and Bentancur in the middle.

Hopefully Bissouma puts in a performance and that will be vital if we are to progress.

Why? Dier and Davies get chance after chance?

And once we get replacements for them they shouldn't be getting game time

 

[Humbolt]

This has got upset written all over it. Think I'll give it a miss.

 

[keenu]

Thought we would go strong, disappointed in the lineup considering our next game is next Sunday.

 

[TonyK]

Spurs game now, then gonna try and find the sporting Porto game somewhere to watch our new boy in action, followed by the Beterbiev Yarde fight. Not a bad wee night in front of the telly.

COYS!

 

[Jamturk]

I'm a little disappointed that Sarr isn't involved.

Is he going on loan or injured?

 

[DarwinSpur]

The highlights from when we last played PNE back when greaves was playing was perhaps more exciting than what we've been served up so far this year

We got beat then too

 

[chrissivad]

I'm a little disappointed that Sarr isn't involved.

Not going on loan. Didn't he pick up a knock before the last game?

Probably didn't want to risk him

 

[Cel]

May i ask a question.

Do you think there would be any sort of meltdown if Romero were to get injured playing against a side we should be handling with relative ease, especially when we have a squad that contains, dare i say, back up CBs.

I think there will be a bigger meltdown if we are knocked out against Preston with virtually no need to rotate and 8 days off after the game.

I'd get it if we were playing Weds, but it seems unnecessary. It feels like every cup game we've rotated the squad over the last 2/3 years has been a disaster, and though it should be fine, why risk it?

Micah’s alternative Tottenham XI with four at the back is sexy tbh

been injured but yeah... has provided 5 minutes against Marseille and that's it. We are cursed

Jenus calling it right re: Conte

Yep would loooove to see it sometime.

 

[DarwinSpur]

Anyway

COYS

 

[Swalien]

A nice bit of sense from Micah Richard’s suggesting we play 4231 and saying Conte played 4 at the back for a time at juventus a while back.

What did he say?
