No cock-up the back. Well indeed.

Really torn about who plays with Kane and Lucas* in front 4.
Ideally on back of a injury I’d like Son to start on bench but that’s not realistic.
GLC would normally make an ideal XI of mine but not sure he doesn’t need one or two more cameos before he’s fully fit. Also feel he’s our Ndombole alternative.
Bale phoned it in vs Woolwich so would start him on bench.
Lamela can also have an impact from the bench.
Vinicius probably deserves another shot as a starter plus has been around the last 2 weeks.
Dele almost certainly won’t be involved but there’s an argument he’s also been around the last fortnight.
I think he’ll go with GLC and Son but wouldn’t be happy with any 2 from the 5. Not a bad position to be in.
* I feel in normal circumstances Lucas is below the others in the pecking order (& I actually rate Bergwjn higher) but agree with some of the previous posters that he’s been outstanding last 4/5 games and is in form so needs to start.

Toon sit back constantly, so an early goal is crucial, but we will need another to compensate for our inconsistent defence.
3-1 to the mighty spurs

We need all our players to be at their best. The recipe for success.
I'm expecting Toon to line up like this...
The hope with Moura is that the two-week gap has not seen him lose rhythm. Can happen.
Of course Son is back which is good but these things are rarely favourable in all directions.
Bruce would have had 2 weeks to get into his players and settle them somewhat.
Hopefully we use our ability and go for the jugular but we know this season nearly anything is possible.
Can't change the defence after the Villa game imo. Why do the likes of Aurier get to walk back in the team for their mythical "attacking ability" after the shitshow served up in Europe?
The attack is where we have the options to change, any number of ways we can line up tbh.

Play Moura central and let him run at them
COYS
It's a Just Win game.
Which is a desperate indictment of our club. I’m actually passed the “just win” stage and have arrived at the “just play some interesting/exciting football please” station.
These lot will play deep, early goal is a must
Noooooooo! Don’t say it.
