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

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I hope there is minimal rotation - Biss and Dragusin in. Maddison and Romero out. Wouldn't be too upset if Son also got to watch from the dugout and Odobert got the start instead

🚨Ange Postecoglou has confirmed he will make a number of changes to his team selection for Tottenham’s Carabao Cup third-round tie away to Coventry City on Wednesday:

🗣️“Not just the younger players but other players in the squad. We need to give them game time.”

🗣️”Not just game time, but the opportunity to show that they can be a part of this, and push some of the guys who started (against Woolwich) in terms of playing because ultimately that’s what we need.”

🗣️”We need competition for places and Wednesday night is a good opportunity to do that.”

Yeh; this is my strongest urge on the matter; not rotation for the purpose of rest... Not taking the competition/oppo lightly..... Nor sharing out game-time for harmony's sake. This lot need a shot in the arm..... Some fresh impetus..... Some vibrancy..... Some keen and invigorated minds.
 
Here was the line up at this stage last season:

Forster
Emerson - Sanchez - Van de Ven - Davies
Skipp - Hojbjerg - Lo Celso
Solomon - Richarlison - Perisic
​
Can't say we're definitely not better suited squad wise this season. God that's rough. I wouldn't even have been confident of that line up winning tomorrow

Really hope Gray and Bergvall play and absolutely kill it. No fear.
 

Postecoglou on whether Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Mikey Moore could be involved​

"You can see them. Yeah, they might even be on the pitch mate. Yeah, they're ready to play and we're keen to get them some game time. That's why we brought them to the club. They're training really well and the games haven't gone the way we wanted in terms of giving them some more exposure but we always knew that this is the period where it starts. Not just between now and the next international break but post that, probably until the end of January we're going to have a really busy schedule and they're going to play a big part in that.

So guys like those three you mentioned, Wilson who hasn't played much so far, Pape and a lot of these guys, we're keen to get them playing because we're going to need them."

Fuck me, he better win otherwise we’re throwing yet another opportunity in the bin and what for - to give youngsters a game. If they’re good enough they will find a way into the league side

Don't want to see Werner and Johnson on together at any point, unless we're smashing them and it's injury time. But then prefer the mins went to youth anyway.

with son, johnson and werner you can only get away with one of them max. theres not enough football quality in them to play 2 of them, completely kills the final third. get some ball players out there. would rather see bergvall out there and maddison out wide, far better quality.
