Match FA Cup -Preston (A) 28/01 - 6PMKO BBC1

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

None of them, LITERALLY none of them, would look out of place at the likes of Bournemouth or Nottingham.


It’s an absolute farce mate, but I don’t blame Conte here. He obviously wants to rest our best defender Romero and you’re left with utter trash in Tanganga and Sanchez. Not to mention our 1st choice players Dier and Davies not being that much better. If Daniel Levy isn’t getting on the blower this weekend trying to desperately sign a CB, I literally have no more words for this incompetent bald cunt.
 
Conte doesn't do rotation that much .......... maybe we know why now !

Our back 5 might take a bit of getting used to :
Doherty, Tanganga, Sanchez, Lenglet and Sessegnon.

The midfield of Bentancur and Bissouma is arguably the best we have.

Front 3 of Kulusevski, Son and Perisic ....... looks a little strange. but maybe a change of position for Son might snap him into form ?

Kane, new boy Danjuma and Gil on the bench if we need them - I guess Richarlison still not fully recovered from his hamstring with Brazil.

Austin on bench, a promotion for 3rd GK, Forster should be fine starting.
 
I get that we should be beating Preston even with this lineup, but I do wish we'd show a little bit of respect to the FA cup. It's our only realistic chance to actually win something this season.
 
I get picking Son. Our season changing relies on him finding form. I do think that when fit Richarlison now starts over him in league games, but for an FA cup game going with Son makes sense .. to me at least.

The defence is crap, but lads .. it's fucking Preston. Those footballers are good enough ten times over to do the job against them.
Can’t say I have seen them play before , however they are still a championship team so should be treated with a bit of respect , there team talk writes itself with that lineup “look at the team they put out , they think this is a training match”
I get your point that we should still be able to beat them however our this season has shown we are an unpredictable team at the best of times and I still remember Boro last season!
Any way that’s enough of me being negative , let’s just hope that Son can rediscover some form today just in time for city

First time you mentioned it.........
 
No offence... but this would have been a great chance to start Gil, Sarr and Spence.

Poor selection from Conte.

Sarr - Injured?
Spence - Still not considered ready according to Conte's #2.

In the absence of Rich I can accept Son at CF (as I wanted Kane protected), but playing Peri at LW when he could have given Gil or Danjuma a start to prove themselves is very un-brave.

I wouldn't have rotated ALL the CBs either.
