Mainly because he's fit to play.

We desperately need Solanke back.
I thought Richie was really poor yesterday. He has the acceleration of a slug. He can attack a Porro cross but offers so little through the middle.
Disagree with others. I don’t give a shit about any of the Cups. We need league wins.
This will be a very difficult game. They are exceedingly well organised and strong.

Keeping goals out is our far bigger problem.
We won't keep goals out - hence why we need to outscore them which is difficult given Solanke, Maddison, BJ, Werner and Odobert are all sidelined.
Need Spence to do a number on Mbuemo like he did to Salah in the cup. And Biss to have a massive one.
Spence was on the bench last time and didn’t even come on. Could be the difference
I thought you meant in general.
Most probable goal sources this weekend:
Son (who's looking better in recent games)
Kulu
Richy (has 2 in his 111 EPL mins since returning)
Nothing too reliable behind them though (Porro?) and not much else on the bench; you're looking at Moore & Dane.
Hate playing these fuckers.
I'll take a point but something tells me we will lose by the odd goal... can see Brentford scoring first, getting a second just after half time... we huff and puff and nick a goal in the 87th minute to setup a frantic finish where we fail to register a single shot... this is largely due to the final 3 minutes of regulation and the 6 minutes of additional time (9 in total), seeing the ball in play for less than a minute and a half.
We need to find a way to stop giving up easy chances, even gave at least one to Elfsborg yesterday that they missed, just over the crossbar. if such chances fall to Brentford, they'll more than likely score them.
So, we have something we didn't have in the past, the new kids on the block Made in Tottenham.
MUST WIN
I think we must rest Porro v Brentford - he's played probably more minutes than anyone else in squad.
Not sure who is better atm, Bentancur or Bissouma. Sarr might need a rest
Subs : Austin, Porro, Hardy, Davies, Olusesi, Sarr, Bentancur/Bissouma, Ajayi, Scarlett,
subs :
Davies for Van de Ven on 45/60 mins
Scarlett for Richarlison or Son (whoever needs the rest most) on 60 mins
Ajayi could come on for either Kulusevski or Son,

Agreed with this, also think Sarr will come for bergvall. He's looking tired and we need him fresh to stir shit up against liverpool.
Not really.
