Match Luton (A) Saturday 7th October - 12:30

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

They've gone full strength tonight. So either they rest some at the weekend or their first team, which already lacks the quality, will be heading into their 3rd game in 7 days.
 
I think it's not a bad thing for players to think they are not automatic choices.
But obviously I can be nothing other than delighted with how our regular starters are doing.
Yet it would be a change against bottom 3 printed team so not really showing anyone they are not auto choices. If say it was done v a top team then different. However this whole conversation about resting players blah blah blah is the typical spurs mentality and why we always slip up. Ffs go strong and bloody win the game. If we can’t do this with just one game a week then we are not as good as we think are. No point messing about now just get the points on the board. If any of the players have boggles then pull em out of the internationals. Example MADDs k owe all day long he will never be a starter for boregate I’m sure mount will be straight back in the squad. He might as well pull out with a strain. Same with Son he doesn’t need to play every game for SK.
 
We can't go 'weak'.

Imagine the reaction of we lose.

Full strength and try to get the game wrapped up then rest if we can.

Worry about injuries and stuff from Saturday afternoon.

We have to get 3 points and have to treat this as our biggest game of the season.

Luckily I think Ange has the perfect mindset in this regard. Don't think he'll see it as anything but another big game.

Might even see the suit.
Totally agree! When you start making changes like we did v Fulham some of those players know they are not starting 11 and may not give it their all. Have to go strong all out to get the 3 points. Only ones may be are either Solomon or Johnson for richi and May be PEH for Sarr. Free up Biss a bit more. Richi would then be good option to come off the bench on 60mins.
 
Is this game on or is the Liverpool replay on this date?

Start with the strongest team available, get the result in the bag and then rest up. I'm worried Son and Madders carrying knocks for weeks - both have been coming off early recently.

5-0 win. Veliz with a late brace. COYS
Like I said start them then pull them out on intl duty. Dippers did it TAA and so does everyone else. May be boregate now has mount and jack back MADDs doesn’t get picked.
 
Bissouma is 1 booking away from a suspension, if we are smart he'll get his booking this match so he misses Fulham because he can't be missing for the Palace or Chelsea match.
 
Go strong, in fact make no changes, show them respect and give it everything - do that and we should win this game, it’s arguably the easiest away day all season, they are not Prem quality and they are going into this as their 3rd game in 7 days and off the back of a chastening defeat.

This would be a banana game for us in the past but I just don’t feel like that is the case anymore, I fancy we will score early and just take the game away from them.
 


OMG we're actually a fun club again!!

Happy Yes It Is GIF
