I have become a big Spurs fan, and I have a question. Sometimes I see players described by numbers instead of position. I think goalies are always #1 and strikers are always #9. In the starting lineup chart above, what numbers are Maddison and Kulusevski? Does Kulusevski only play forward or does he also play midfield?

Sorry if my questions annoy anyone. I'm new to soccer. I watch all of the Spurs games available streaming and I'm still learning the game flow. The positions seem a lot more fluid than the sports I grew up watching and playing.

GKs generally are given the number 1 but some GKs have a "lucky" number.
Our GK likes the number 13.
Number 9 is normally given to big 6' plus strikers who are generally more strong than skilful and score more headers because of their height.
You wisely chose the best football team in the world and may supporting the Spurs give you many years of pleasure(?)

Came to take a look at the pre match talk and honestly am genuinely saddened and give my fullest sympathies to Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman . I can't imagine what you are going through, and for somebody I have never met and only had text communication with or read posts from - for me to be moved like I am says a lot about the type of person you are.

From the hundreds of people on this forum I'm certain we all wish you and collectively contribute our support and thoughts.

Sincerely, my deepest condolences.

Welcome mate.
 
Madders not starting is a great UNO reverse from Ange.

All of the build up during the week, they would have expected him in there
