Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

if the front 3 are stale he has to change it and give the subs time to make a difference. glad hes swerved sanchez and emerson. maybe finally the penny has dropped with emerson.
 
Three right wing-backs on the bench only shows how poor was the decision in the summer to not buy a senior right wing-back. I'm not a fan of it, I though Doherty will start.
 
I'm just so used to being let down of late. I properly celebrated like a mad man last week then the pain was so shit.

even on Sat with Bentancur's winner I was waiting for VAR to fault the goals somehow.

Fuck VAR
 
subs :

Forster, Royal, Doherty, Spence, Sanchez, Tanganga, Bissouma, Skipp, White, Sarr, Gill

Likely subs ?
1 Doherty for Perisic on about 60 mins to rest him for Liverpool (but I'd prefer Spence to get some minutes

2 Skipp or Bissouma on ,,,,,,,,, for Son to rest him for Liverpool

3 Gill on ,,,,,,, to rest someone

Not sure we'll make more than 3 subs given our bench ?
 
Dier actually has to tackle in this formation.

He hasn’t been tackling at all at CCB. He is passive. If he doesn’t tackle here, we will have trouble winning the ball on the right.

No resting for Liverpool, this match is too important and we are unlikely to be secure.
 
No sign of confidence in Doherty. Seems a risky move to start any of Perisic, Sess or Lucas(unlikely) at RWB. Fingers crossed, probably the best back three we can put out given Sanchez' recent form.
