Team V Real Madrid

[E17yid]

I wonder what reception bale will get?

 

[fridgemagnet]

As long as Ramos, Marcelo and Pepe get booted 14 feet in the air i don't mind how many we get smashed by TBH

Isn't Rafa using Ronaldo and Bale up front?

 

[double0]

I would play.

Vorm

Walker
Aldeweireld
Vertonghen
Rose

Bentaleb
Alli/Winks/Dier

Onomah
Eriksen
Chadli

Kane

Is anyone else not concerned about injuries this close to the season starting, This Audi cup seems pointless this close to the season.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Benzema & Ronaldo out for them

Lot's of teams are doing it. I think this will be pretty good prep for United and hopefully help us hit the ground running on Sat

I agree in the respect we are playing high calibre teams that will have us chasing shadows for periods of the game

Lloris in the squad, could be good news?

But no Coulthirst, so Kane the only striker.... He can't play every minute before UTD at the weekend....

I'm not happy with us playing this game so close to the man utd game, bearing in mind pochettino's comments at the end of the season. Seems to me the manager's had the rug pulled from under him here- here's hoping that the same doesn't happen re vital transfers too or were going to end up with a seriously pissed off manager.

 

[Vwbottom]

Named in the squad, hopefully there'll be more news on that soon .

 

[nicdic]

Think he was in the US squad too so wouldn't read much into it. The Sun are reporting that he's back in full training however.

Glad that Mason is back.

Clear that Adebayor and Soldado are out.

 

[QuikFeet]

Harry Kane is gonna be tired on Saturday.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

No Yedlin either...not heard any injury news so perhaps an indication that he's not in Poch plans and heading out on loan...

 

[fazza]

Chadli could be used as a striker to rest Kane if need be.

 

[Lilbaz]

No coulthirst, oduwa and milos?

Guess we'll see some experimentation up front. Friendlies are the place to do it.

Thought Oduwa might get a chance, but it's possible that his injury on Saturday affected that. OS said today that his scan was clear, but that he'd be resting, I'm guessing concussion, and wanting to be careful.

It seems pretty clear that Veljkovic just isn't Pochettino's plans, and see's Winks and Onomah as the closest two.

I am surprised that there is no Coulthirst though, you'd have thought with no other strikers that he'd get a run out.

 

[fazza]

Of course if Kane was to get injured we could always play Hungary style and go 4-2-4-0 using Eriksen, Lamela, Chadli and Townsend, but a decent backup striker would be preferable.

Unfortunate squad, IMO. 1 striker, not really any youth, 2 games in 2 days then 2 days off before the first game of the season. No clue why we didnt bring some more youth to keep the first teamers fresh. Setting ourselves up for tired legs and failure on Satuday, IMO.

Why Poch doesnt rate Veljkovic is beyond me. Probably our most ready youth player, IMO. Winks and Onomah looked good but still very raw to me in the post season friendlies and mls game. Veljkovic looked very competent and very mature in the U20's, along with CCV by the way. But oh well. Not the first time I've disagreed with Poch's opinions on players and it certainly wont be the last.

No clue why Coulthrist wasnt named in the squad seeing as how we only brought along Kane and Chadli as our strike options when they are both probably going to be in the team vs United. I dont know. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like a pretty darn incompetent decision to leave Shaq off. It's understandable that Oduwa was left off after what happened in the youth friendly this weekend.

I'm probably gonna go with Poch's judgement over yours.
