Match Europa League - vs AZ Alkmaar - 24/10

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Wouldn’t play Berg - been a disaster this season. Sarr pls. Looks like he’s trying too hard and not ready mentally. Take pressure off as he is talented

Werner can do one too, and I would start one main CB, so probably Son and VDV

A win today and we can start to mix it up more imo, defeat and there’s jeopardy until game 7

What I would like is a couple of players like Kulu, Johnson, Solanke Romero get a complete night off now and again. Relax and reset mentally, 100% not involved and not ravelling to away games - go for a meal and switch off from football

Edit - correct, Spence is lunacy. Would start Udog tonight tbh and Soence vs Palace

Vic, Gray, Drag, VDV, Udogie, Bentacur, Sarr, Maddison, Moore, Son, Richy

Stay off the drugs.

No he hasn’t. He’s young and learning. Needs minutes here and there.

Just found out I'm going to miss this, la señora has accepted an invitation to dinner.

Does anyone know if the usual "Full Match Replay" sites do UEFA Cup matches as well?
Then ditch the bitch!!

I agree - but I wouldn’t start him tonight. Hes trying too hard to impress. Next Europa game IMO if we can bank a win
We're playing a shit team at home and we have won the two previous games. We won't get a better chance to start him. I agree, he's trying a bit too hard. But everybody can see his talent. He needs to play. I would start him.

Anybody knows a sportsbar in Tenerife that will show the game?
 
I'm gonna keep an eye on another AZ player, next to Parrott...

When I was looking at the last lineup, having bit of a soft spot for Duch national team and it's players (+ Bayern) I noticed a familiar name. van Bommel.

Turns out that old man has produced a new generation - Ruuben is carbon copy of papa Mark.
And he is a freshly 20yo (bday in August) 192 cm winger that already has 4 goals and 2 assists for AZ this season alone.
Alltogether he has 13 goals and 3 assists in senior football for AZ Alkmaar.

He has quite the touch. Seem to be quick thinker. Has strong shots and curlers both in his toolbox.
Plays as inverted LW and does most of the damage with his right foot. Basically looking at his highlights I'd say that name is not only thing that reminds me of Robben, just different foot and different wing. Also seems to be more selfless in his style.
Surely has a pedigree on him. And tall frame that is often overlooked thing in EPL. Some of his footwork and first steps remind me of van de Ven too.

If he'd be even slightly more experienced and proven, I'd say he'd be pretty good candidate to be heir to Sonny.
If I compare his highlights to Odoberts, he seems two heads above in his movement to me. Ofc have to consider the level of opposition here- Odobert highlights coming from League One and EPL, van Bommels from Eredivise.

We'll see how he does against us today.
 
Looking forward to this. They aren't just going to sit back and look to make it tough for us and aim to counter, not their or the Dutch style.

Now Odobert has had a few training sessions, would love for him to start this tbh. Rest both starting wingers and get him and Moore running at their defence.
 
At a wedding today and tonight so will miss this.

Stupid selfish friend!!!! 🤬🤣

At least I’ll be drunk so I’ve got my coping mechanism in place for if we fuck up.

I feel like Admin Admin should have put you in the bin today, god knows what you’ll post later when you’re drunk :harrylol:
