Spurs in the Europa League: Road to Gdańsk

[EQP]

So with the tie reversed we will not leave London for any football matches until we play them in the second leg!
Burnley H, Fulham A, Palace H, Zagreb H, Arsenal A then Zagreb A

So important that we get as much time to recover and avoid any significant traveling when we can. I think the stat is we've played the most amounts of games out of any team in the top 5 leagues, so getting players back to health and minimizing fatigue will be important for the rest of our season.

Absolutely not.

They go “fuck yeah TOttenham!!!! WALKOVER”

I didn’t know Dynamo Zagreb were popular with the 8-12 YouTube commenter demographic.

With a resurgent Dele and Bale plus Reguillon back from injury, I think we'll see much better performances this upcoming month.

And Lo Celso as well

Your post would suggest that the not having Bale and Dele in our starting line up is the reason for this fall from the top. We were on top for about a month without these players. Having them now is a plus but the others have to reclaim their earlier form and step up again to be counted.

Yeah, better performances. Not guaranteed wins or less silly defensive mistakes, just better performances. We've been shit all around and having two really talented attacking players gain form at relatively the same time, should excite most fans. I recognize that it is a team game and having players who on their day, can single handedly change the dynamic of a game, increases our odds of winning said games. At worst, we'll look more cohesive in the attacking third and I would happily take that improvement in play.

Good to have him back in training. Though I would expect a couple games for him to get up to speed. Don't imagine we'll see the best of GLC till after the international break.

Remember the year ends in 1, you fucking slags

Livakovic-amazing goalkeeper, first choice for NT, he will probably frustrate us somewhat

/QUOTE]

One we should be seriously looking at as a replacement for Hugo. Much cheaper than Pope.

 

[Jamturk]

Definitely need to go full strength for these boys, a lot of rough diamonds looking and capable of proving themselves.

Although a favorable draw it's a real banana skin.

Serge too.

 

[Nayim60yards]

Serge too.

I didn't think too much of Serge, too many plot holes. I hope this sequel will be better...

Because Jose has said " 4th is now not realistic " then he would not be doing a proper job if he did not pick the strongest team possible for the next games in the Europa cup . I think what may help everybody is if he could settle on a back four I know he has been unlucky with injuries mainly to Aurier and Reguilon but a settled centre back pairing I am convinced will help things .
Anybody who knows the stats would I hope inform us of how many different and how often changed the centre back pairings have occurred.
It cannot help cohesion chopping and changing the side .

Not surprising it's been reversed. UEFA aren't known for their flexibility with the rules. I remember in the qualifiers a couple of years back they spent ages insisting it would be very, very clever to send Celtic away to Linfield - the Protestant champions of Northern Ireland - on the Glorious Twelfth, before they eventually acknowledged that this was A Terrible Idea.
