Match West Ham (A) - BYOB (Bring your own binoculars) - 13th Sep, 530KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yeah I agree 100% even the Burnley game we were solid , its just i'm no where near the stage of being confident before a game again, even more so against these lot , I do think we will have enough to beat them and hopefully prove the Cherries game was the anomaly , its just as shit as West ham have been, if they do win this they are on the same points as us.
Yeah, I get it, but the games against PSG, Burnley, ManC, we played really well, and deserved more against PSG.

Think Bournemouth was a blip, TF will learn from it, reinforcements included.

I think we will be fine, as long as we are up for it.
 
Looking ahead to this match and realised no-one can easily predict the starting XI. Even more so when Kulusevski is fit again in December.

I have a hunch he may start Tel on the left against West Ham. He can't be involved on Tuesday in the CL and comes back from U21 duty with 2 goals under his belt, and I think Frank will be looking to give him something. Personally I think that would be a mistake, but not as big a mistake as playing Johnson on the left.

A frantic, physical derby away from home may not be the right game for Xavi Simons to start in CAM. Will Spence be rested with Udogie getting a chance at LB ahead of the CL game on Tuesday? Or will Spence's 1-on-1 defensive ability against Bowen be needed?

Vicario
Porro --- Romero ---VdV --- ???

Kudus --- ??? --- ???
I keep changing my mind, but would like to see this team:

Vicario
Porro -- Romero -- VdV -- Udogie
Palhinha -- Bergvall
Kudus --- Xavi ---- Odobert
Muani
I particularly like the 2nd team. Either Richi or Odobert would be fine on the left.

And Bergvall, good choice.

Kudus needs to play left, Johnson right. This is his sorta game….
 
Pretty sure it will be...Kudus, Xavi, Johnson behind Richy

Think Palhinha and Bentancur holding.

Xavi to make it a three and dictate things

I think you're right, but I'd prefer Tel off the left in this. I think he'll have something to prove, and with him not being able to play Tuesday I think theres a chance he starts here.
