Match West Ham (A) - 4th May, 2pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The result against West Ham doesn't determine whether we go through on Thursday.

This is a bit of a pointless debate really, I mean the players are going to aim to win anyway but with a half full squad that seems unlikely unless you want Ange to play first teamers and tell them to play at full intensity, risking injuries and burn out is that what you'd prefer??
No, he can play the kids. Of course I'm not expecting us to roll them over. But I don't want to see us go a goal down and watch players switch off because they think there's no point making the effort, or hiding, or jogging back in a lame arse attempt to defend. We've seen it so often. I'm sick of us being the laughing stock.

Change today for the future.

Christ, I sound like Keir Starmer.

This is exactly what's going to happen though :D

Can't help human behaviour I guess...look this coach is done and the players know it too..they're playing to win the EL and everything else is academic at this stage, it is what it is I guess 🤷‍♀️
 
It's bordering on pure stupidity to start Vicario in this game, risking him getting injured before the game on Thursday. Also fucking give Kinsky a game, not just only when there is no choice.
 
On my Flashscore app. The starting eleven is up.
vicario
Porto Romero Davies Udogie
Bissouma - Bentancour - Sarr
Tel - richarlison - Johnson


Edit: no it's fucking not. It's expected starting elevens. Fuck flashscore
 
Yes I am making a serious point. We weren't 'literally' humiliated all season as you stated.

Mate ,'literally' when used informally is there for emphasis. I stand by what I wrote.

I think you willl also find quite a few supporters who will convey a sense of humiliation about this season.

To cite 5 results when we sit 15th, with 3 of the 4 teams below us, having just been promoted, is, with due respect, no basis for a serious debate.

I could have cited more results where we weren't 'humiliated'.
Yes, this season has been mostly bad, but you don't you need to embellish an argument or statement with inaccuracies to make that point
 
I'd start Kinsky

And Probably Spence, Danso, Davies and Udogie

Should he play Danso and Gray as CBs and Davies as FB or can we count on two of Porro, Udogie and Spence to be fit to play VS Bodø even if we play two of them today?

In midfield Id play
Gray - Sarr - Kulusevski
Maybe Biss over Gray, but why risk him.

My front 3
Odobert - Scarlett - Tel
Do not risk Solanke and Richy. Johnson might be considered but I'd like to see this as a chance for Odobert and Tel to fight for a starting position Vs Bodø.
 
Given what we have available id go with

Kinsky
Spence - Danso - Davies - Reggy
Sarr - Bentancur - Kulu
Odobert - Richarlison - Tel

With half the bench decent "first teamers" to come on if we get an injury, and the other half kids like Ajayi
