Bar the Cl games they have been really average last 6 while - cupla Villa mates telling me they have been really bad and too open.
Could be anything depending on what Spurs turn up but we should be beating these at home.

If Son is fit.

I'd then get a combination of legs (Sarr, Richie, Spence) and guile (Madders, Moore) on as subs

We so badly need an elite RW

If Rucharlison was actually any good, he would be pushing Solanke, whi is simply struggling to make an impact in terms of goals.

Somebody said Mbuemo was the main target. We need 3 players and it's not even hard to see

A striker of note, a defensive midfielder, and a central defender. Of course by the time we get all 3, we will lose those who are competent as things stand.
 
Porro, Maddison & Son fresh and should all start. Do not think we should play Maddison & Kula in a 3 in midfield and as Maddison fit either Kula plays instead of Johnson who probably needs a rest as he plays better when fresh or is on the bench available for the 2nd half. Udogie another that needs a rest and not sure if Spence can start but otherwise play Gray there rather than Davies who will be needed if Romero cannot do 90 mins again.
Vic,
Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Spence/Gray
Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison,
Kula, Solanke, Son
I would give Kula licence to come inside more or play a midfield 4 with both Son & Solanke up top.
Whoever plays I just hope they turn up.

Go away with that kind of negativity... It's not needed here.

Think about what you've said, and come back Monday with a written apology!

I hope your lot get beaten at St. James' tomorrow lunchtime!

My lot ? My lot are playing Aston Villa on Sunday.
I’ve stated I would love us to win obviously, but I think Villa will be a bit too much for us. Hopefully they won’t but it’s my prediction.
Now pull yourself together, shoulders back, it’s just a prediction on a football forum. That’s all.
 
We absolutely battered them at home last season. Should have had a blatant penalty when Gil got elbowed. We hit the post twice or so and I think we even had a goal ruled out for offside.

And we lined up with Emerson and Davies at centre back. Gil on the wing with Lo Celso in midfield. Hojbjerg came on in the first half as Bentancur went off injured.

I think Villa are just well suited to the way we play football. They play a high line but aren't particularly great defensively and they're not great on the ball. I just worry about our intensity after a midweek game. Brighton was away on a Sunday following a midweek game. So was Palace... I guess being at home is good, we are genuinely great at home so far this season. Will be a good game.

Porro - Romero - Dragusin - Udogie
Kulusevski - Bentancur - Maddison

The fact they rested their entire team and sacrificed the Caribou cup shows how big this game is for them! In fact, it'll be a total disaster of a week for them if we beat them after they rotated midweek!

Well I don't... And that's MY prediction!

We're all welcome to our own opinions I guess...

I'm just sick of the constant narrative driven negativity when it comes to Spurs!

We've got ONE job, to support the team... Not turn up predicting a defeat...

Don't go then! or if you're not going, don't watch!
Save yourself the 'inevitable' misery!
