Match Coventry City v Tottenham Hotspur | Carabao Cup 3rd Round | Sept 18th | 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

As we are back to being a mid table team in a world class stadium. Can we at least dream of lifting the Mickey Mouse cup again? I'd take the Europa conference right now.

It's like 2am lights up in the night club and there are only fat lasses left.

My feeling is that Ange will disrespect this trophy again but our kids should be enough for Coventry. So we will probably go out first decent PL side we face.
 
Forster
Spence Dragusin Davies Udogie
Kulusevski Gray Bergvall
Odobert Solanke Werner

I think we’ll make a lot of changes for this game but we still need to play hard. It shouldn’t matter which names are on the team sheet or who the opponent is, we should put in maximum effort. That’s been our problem in recent years, we have rotated heavily in recent years which the players have understood to mean that the match isn’t important. Some of our managers didn’t care about the cups but Ange definitely does, curious to see how he handles this one.

Not sure id play forster. Like a plank of wood falling in slow motion when he dives. Id give that austin a spin. He had a decent pre-season.

Forster has been on the bench ahead of Austin so seems clear he is the 2nd keeper. Austin hasn’t played competitive football for 3 years and that was 5 games at Orlando City. He made some good saves in preseason but he is there to help our keepers train, not to play for the first team.
 
Ange will rotate, but play the same toothless team as today and a 0-1 loss is on the cards. I’d like to see Odobert come in and either Werner or Kulusevski the other player on the flank. Mix in Gray or Bergvald in midfield, in place of Bentancur.
 
Carabou Cup?

Wouldn't fully rotate for this. Cov might be in the Champo but they knocked Wolves out the FA Cup Quarters last season and took Man U to pens in the semis. Got to take it seriously. Hopefully a decent performance and a confidence boost for a couple that need it.

Vicario
Porro Dragusin VDV Udogie
Sarr Bentancur
Maddison
Odobert Solanke Son

Put Bentancur in since he'll be banned for the Prem game at the weekend.
Go strong and hope to give Moore, Gray and Bergvall a run out later in the game.

No way I'm not giving Bergvall a start..........

Ridiculously we don't even know what Bentancur's initial punishment will be (even if we have yet to appeal).....
