Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread

[doctor stefan Freud]

That squad and bench is missing Lo Celso, Verts, Son, Foyth and Dele. Keep the bulk of the squad fit this season and we look like peak Led Zeppelin

Forgot Sessegnon too

 

[rabbikeane]

Big risk to start without Eriksen imo, especially given how many attacking players we are missing

At the moment Lamela is better

 

[JCRD]

Trezeguet is a good player.

Couldnt finish a meal but great at creating a meal

Considering the players unavailable that is a strong team. Midfield looks strong with a good blend of physicality and technical skill. Hope we dont play too narrow though!

Why do we think Eriksen is on the bench?

I think we all know why Eriksen is on the bench....?

Is Lo Celso not fit or rested?

Tummy ache?

 

[rabbikeane]

We have like 8 players unavailable. Even city would start looking weak on their bench at that point

We've made ours worse by selection as well though

At the moment Lamela is better

Mentally and physically yes

Surprised by some of the comments about the bench. Would rather Parrott than GKN but besides that when you consider 3-5 starters are injured/suspended in Son, Dele, Vertonghen, Foyth, and Davies plus 2 of our 3 summer signings haven’t been incorporated in Lo Celso and Sess, I actually think it looks alright. Better than most games last season.

I’m sure it’s already been asked but I’m on a train with poor signal so hoping someone can clarify -

Where’s Vertonghen?

Some are saying injured, some saying dropped due to contract dispute

 

[mark87]

Diamond midfield?

 

[WiganSpur]

Wanyama over Parrott? Hmm

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Is Lo Celso not fit or rested?

He’ll need a couple of weeks getting his fitness up to full Jesus level

Why do we think Eriksen is on the bench?

Because he wants to leave. He's not commited to the club.

So disappointed not to see GLC on the bench. I don't get to watch many games so was excited to see him.

Also, what's the point in Wanyama, Skipp AND Dier but not Parrott? Yet GKN? Fucking bizarre.

 

[chrissivad]

Is Lo Celso not fit or rested?

Probably not ready.
Give him time to get things moved across and some training time with the squad.

 

[Northernspurs]

Any news on verts?

 

[GioW]

Have I missed something, is Jan injured?

'small injury' according to Kilpatrick on twitter.

That looks really defensive home against Villa

 

[james82mckay]

What’s wrong with Vertonghen?
