Match Threads Spurs vs Newcastle - Match Thread - Day 3

What does Jose see in Winks he is not good enough even to be on the bench never mind starting. He doesn't offer anything defensively or going forward. The sooner he doesn't make the squad the better.

Hanging out with Gedson who I keep forgetting we still have

you were saying? ?

Hope Sissoko is okay and it isn't something as bad as covid (I'm sure that they've done the testing and all). Could miss him if we need some running power

 

[Tweddled]

Sissoko I think.

Thanks mate, it's just come up on bbc too

 

[Mr Pink]

Interesting that Sissoko drops off the bench, and still Dele doesn’t get in... suggests Dele potentially isn’t even with the squad at the stadium today?

Very strange indeed. Definitely feels like we're attacking interest for him.

 

[wirE]

He plays on the left doesn't he?

despite him insisting on wearing that stupid Gucci headband, he is quite good. We should’ve bought him instead of Nkoudo and Clinton

 

[yankspurs]

You can see where all the comments about our squad being too large are. Not on the bench today are:

Gazzaniga
Aurier
Foyth
Tanganga
Sessegnon
Gedson
Dele
Bale

And that’s not including the CH and ST to come, or any youth players.

If Sissoko doesnt go, we should cancel the Gedson loan. Then get Foyth & Serge out permanently. Loan Sessegnon. Would also try to sell Lucas.

 

[Trix]

Headache apparently

Perhaps he's just been shown a video of his shooting practice from training?

Discipline and a player who is willing to sacrifice personal glory for the tactical shape of the team.

?‍ The logical conclusion is that you're wrong.

Hopefully we defend more like the second half against Southampton and not the first (and a lot of last year). Can afford to keeping asking Winks and Hojbjerg to cover the middle and help the full-backs.

I don’t understand why we continue to pick winks. He is continually poor and we came to life once he was hooked on Thursday

 

[SpursD22]

He plays on the left doesn't he?

Bruce would’ve put him against Davies. Or at least if I was the manager I would’ve done it

 

[Grapo2001]

Hoping to see something from Doherty today. I don't think he has shown much so far.

 

[wirE]

Alli’s Tottenham career is officially game over

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Dele must be in contention for a possible transfer

 

[cliff jones]

It’s not really the time to try to work out who is and who isn’t in favour, apart from the obvious- with so many games coming up.

Our chances are impacted this week by not having signed that striker. Negligent.

Like Lucas, Jose has taken a strong liking to him.

 

[tommo84]

Obviously any mention of illness in the current climate makes people nervous but, as I’ve never heard of a player miss a game due to a headache before, I suspect the club are just being ultra cautious with a player who isn’t feeling right despite having (presumably) been tested for COVID in the last few days.

 

[werty]

Or Gedson is a more versatile player who can cover more positions if someone on the bench went down, and Alli is being saved for Tuesday/Thursday.
