Team v Leeds

[chinaman]

Skipp & Bentancur out ??

This was always going to happen, we now only have TWO fit central midfielders ??‍

Maybe a chance for White to show what he can offer.

Maybe a chance for White to show what he can offer.

He might be injured too as he was replaced on the bench midweek ?

I have the feeling rather the hell freezes than Conte giving a youth prospect a debut.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Get Kane as the attacking option in a CM3 with Kulu, Son and Bergwijn in front of him.

He's literally our only creative outlet - get him in a roaming CAM role.

I don't particularly like the idea - but unless we get him on the ball in deeper positions we have fuck all in our side to pick a decent pass or maintain possession.

 

[mil1lion]

Leeds are leaking goals so we need to be aggressive and attack them as much as possible.

Lloris
Romero---Dier---Davies
Kulu---Winks---Hojbjerg---Reguilon
Moura---Kane---Son

 

[Snarfalicious]

Maybe we can pull an Arsenal and ask for a postponement.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

Give White a go, and Devine off the bench.
We have to test options, play Bergwijn or Lucas as a WB.
We need to rotate, then pick strongest XI v Boro

This really is a must win now.

Edging closer to last chance saloon for top 4.

This is a very positive post and it's great to see but I think it's so hard to see a top four finish, the form at the moment with the manager in his frame of mind right now it's difficult to see above top eight.

 

[spurs mental]

I'd still rather Winks and PEH then 1 of Ndomble or GLC and PEH.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

I’m just praying we don’t start Winks in the middle as the Leeds press will cause him (and us) havoc.

What choice does Conte have mate?

Bentancur & Skipp are both out. Hojbjerg will obviously play, so that really only leaves Harvey White, and don't tell me this place wouldn't be up in arms if Conte decided to play a 20 year old kid with next to no first team experience, in a game that's very much in the "must win" column.

I'm being converted to the idea that we've been cursed.

 

[FinnYid]

Pretty obvious par few exceptions, Lloris will start as will Romero, Dier, Davies back three. With Skipp and Bentancur out Höjberg and Winks are only proper options for central midfield and Kane is guaranteed starter. Son probably too, though Conte might be frustrated with some of his recent performances. Leaves 2 wing backs and 1 other slot open for options. Kulusevksi likely to start either in more attacking role with Son and Kane or as wing back. Reckon Reguillon will take left wing back. So final place is up for Doherty, Royal, Moura or Bergwijn pending where Kulusevksi plays.

You want us to experiment with youth against a PL club that's as desperate for a win as we are. And then want us to go pick our strongest team against a club from The Championship on Tuesday night?

I'm never going to understand this place.

I don’t agree with the poster suggesting we should play a weaker team vs Leeds but for me after recent results 4th is unlikely now and that makes the FA cup more important than it was before

I don't look at the league, I don't pay attention to form. I'm not much fun really.

But NO game is more important than our next one, no matter what competition it's in, or where we sit in the league.

We (in my opinion) should always play our strongest possible team, in hope of winning that game.

Winning needs to become a habit, rather than a thing we get to enjoy every now again.

Just my opinion.

 

[yankspurs]

White or Devine over Winks please. Kulusevski or Lucas at RWB, Stevie at RW. Reguilon at LWB. Everything else picks itself.

Good point, but someone with more composure on the ball under pressure - Kulu maybe?

Or rearrange things but I agree no Winks.

Don't fucking ask me. It's not like I know what I'm talking about, you crazy mofo.

What I do know, is having no Phillips in their midfield helps us immensely.

Strangely enough, the rules have changed now.
