Match Threads Spurs Vs Wolves

[doctor stefan Freud]

They’re very different in their attacking and defending. Højbjerg has an underrated passing range, as the remarkable stat for number of high quality chances he has created shows. Bissouma is a dribbler, carrying the ball forward 15-20m himself à la Dembélé or Ndombele.

Højbjerg defends positionally, blocking off passing lanes and always positioning himself with regard to the defenders (another less obvious quality that leads to him being underrated). Bissouma defends with mobility, tackling, intercepting and disrupting the opponent in possession.

Thus it isn’t just about which is “better”, it’s about which has the skill set to counter the current opponent’s style and midfield quality.

Way too much sense for the match thread, David- you’re playing with fire

This is going to be the first game I’ve watched on the tv in years where all dependent children are out and about. I genuinely can’t wait to bring my full match day rage and ire out to the fore, having had to temper it over the last few years

 

[Scot-Spur]

Any early murmurings on team news?

Maybe doch plays extra motivation against his old club

Agreed, good points.

Reckon we'll go behind to an early goal then dominate. 3-1 Spurs.

I’d like to see Bissouma start today. Need someone to get round the pitch, boss Wolves in the middle and wake the crowd up this sleepy Saturday lunchtime

 

[cider spurs]

Would like a convincing win playing sexy football. Something to enjoy before Sky's weekend build up to Liverpool's fixture with United...on Monday feckin evening.

Any early murmurings on team news?

That Spurs-linked agent guy, forget his name, is fairly good with his predictions on twitter - think he has some contacts for team news. He has Sanchez and Perisic in for romero and sess.

Seems likely to me.

Any early murmurings on team news?

Paul o keefe put up his predicted lineup which is how he normally leaks team news. He's got same team as Chelsea except Perisic and Sanchez for Sess and Romero. Pinch of salt and that

 

[H-SF]

I know he’s started the season ok but I’m still going to find it weird that Emerson is starting again over Doc.

Depends on fitness. I'd be more concerned for Spence if Tanganga makes the bench over him, again.

 

[Hotspur88]

Really feel we need to change it up slightly today. Would love to see Lenglet, Bissouma, Richarlison and Perisic all starting but I just don't see it. Much more likely we see the same team as against Chelsea with Sanchez and Perisic in for Romero and Sess.

 

[ILS]

Only change is Perisic.

Obviously apart from Sanchez.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Only change is Perisic.

Sanchez aswell?

 

[hughy]

Only change is Perisic.

Obviously apart from Sanchez.

And Sanchez presumably. Unless Perisic is playing RCB. ?

 

[ILS]

Sanchez aswell?

Yep, I forgot him.

Too true. Burn him he’s a witch!

 

[hughy]

Really looking forward to seeing Perisic get a full debut. I think he'll be a fantastic signing for us.

Winner winner ?
