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

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

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.

I'm actually very interested to see Perisic at LW ... think it's a good choice to gauge how effective he is in that position for us, feel like at LWB he has a lot of flaws but all the good stuff comes going forward, and with Son totally misfiring/Richy's injury issues we could do with a good option there.

But yeah, less true with the Danjuma signing.
 
I wouldn’t go that far , he has just been very unlucky with injuries , what was his injury record like at Everton?
Any way after his World Cup if we signed him now half the forum (myself included) would be saying we are finally acting like a big club and getting someone decent to rotate with Kane
Zero goals from a 60M striker? I think he will be ok in the long run but been a pointless signing up to now

100%. We have no other options at LWB tho,
Perhaps Doc
 
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.

Didn’t we go out to Boro away last season?

These players have lost this type of game many times in the past. They have everything to prove.
