Johnson Salanke Werner

Would like to see Bergval Spence and Gray given game time, think it's also a good one to start the likes of Forster Davies and Werner who shouldn't be starting other games and don't weaken us that much whilst it's not really one to risk VDV or Porro in.

Moore also from the bench is a definite.

I think we need a win and a statement. Not going too weakened at all.

Bergvall Kulusevski
Odobert Solanke Werner​

Thoughts:

Vicario over Forster for me - this is a must-win game, and I don't trust Forster

Gray seems to be the back-up RB for Europa, and probably for the Cup also - needs the game.

I could see Davies over VdV - but I would play one of the starting CBs with Dragusin

Spence - rest Udogie, and I don't really prefer Davies at LB

Bentancur - I would start Bissouma if he is fit, but wanted experience in this spot

Bergvall - must start for me

Odobert - Johnson is better suited if the game is open, and teams are not sitting back. I expect Coventry to sit back and defend - thus Odobert.

I also think we need to go as strong as possible and then maybe make subs in the second half if it's comfortable.

I'd probably swap Bergvall in for Sarr as I suspect we will have a lot of the ball and won't need the boundless energy of Sarr and would probably start with Porro at RB.

I'd quite like to see Moore start over Werner with the expectation that he'd play 60 mins and then sub in Werner to run at tired defenders, but I think that's unlikely.

you go full strength after a NLD defeat. You think we can afford to lose three games on the bounce?

I don't want to see Forster, he's a year older than the last time he played and his performance in the pens last season was the worst I've ever seen by a professional keeper.

God I hope not. The reason we've shit the bed in so many cups and Europa over the last few years is drastic changes that signal it's not a priority.

Go as close to full strength as possible and then swap people if it's been put to bed (although being Spurs we could be 4-0 with 10 minutes left and I'd still be a bit nervous!)

Changes can be made next week against Qarabag, don’t mind dragusin coming in for VDV depending on fitness and Odobert over one of son/johnson.

If he keeps to his word in the interview with Ben Haines on the Spurs website there will be wholesale changes.

I hope we at least give Dragusin a start. I think Romero could do with a bit of a kick up the arse, and if Dragusin can't even get a game when Romero's a bit out of form and we're playing a championship side then he'll be wanting out sooner rather than later, and I couldn't say I'd blame him.

And I wouldn't be completely joking if I said I wouldn't mind giving Spence a go on the right wing!

EDIT: Though I take Herc's point above about it being a bit unfair not giving him a go in his natural position

If Ange makes wholesale changes to the team like last year than it shows up the comments he made before the city game last season.

Vic - Spence, Dragusin, Davies, ? (Regu is available?) - Gray, Sarr, Bergvall - Odebert, Solanke (if Richarlison unavailable), Werner

Bring Moore in from the bench.

A more realistic selection with two far more important games to follow against Brentford and Qarabag.
