Match AS Monaco vs Tottenham Hotspur. Wednesday the 22nd of October 2025 UCL

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Johnson should be starting, not sure why he hasn't been. Odobert hasn't created much and doesn't really look like the scoring too many. Johnson has negatives in his game but he is a genuine goalscorer who could just win us a game.
 
i think he picks the following tonight

vicario
porro
vdv
danso
spence

bentancur
palhinha
sarr

johnson
richie
kudus

wouldnt be thrilled with Johnson starting but tbh we probably will have minor possession and our chances coming from pressing turnovers or counters so it might be a good game from Brennan

Not the worst.

I don't know how we actually evaluate effort, because it can't or shouldn't always be 100% effort in victory, and then a sliding scale of paucity in defeat,but it would be nice to see an error-free, goals-created performance.

If we lose, let's do so to brilliance on the opponent's part and because we have failed to convert from numerous openings. That's not ideal but it shows more than a desperate loss.

One can only hope.
 
So being as Udogie was the only rotational Full back, are we going to see how long we can Flog Spence and Porro before one of them gets injured, we are literally a couple of Injures away from Having Gray back at CB not sure who fills in at Full back if one of Spence or Porro get a knock, however knowing us we will find out very soon.......
If only someone in the recruitment department knew that Udogie was massively injury prone and we didn’t have a left footed back up . Such a shame .
 
Did something happen? Sarr started the season on fire, then there was an incident during training between him and Muani after which the latter was injured. Since that happened, Sarr has played about 20 minutes of football
 
I think Sarr has to start. He brings energy and directness to the midfield.

He does when he is fit.
Which he does not seem to be right now.

How are people not seeing this?

Not 20 minutes.
He played full game vs Bodo, and he was far from his usual self.

So clearly there was some impact on that injury.

I'll tell you why... Because the entire fanbase goes mental at him every time he doesn't get a goal, and collectively asks: WHAT IS HE FOR IF HE DOESN'T SCORE?!

.. and now he's 'in demand'?
...poor fucker doesn't know if he's coming or going!
 
Not looking forward to this game at all, could be a real borefest.
