Good team overall, I predict a win. Delighted for the three 'local lads' all starting today. They should be up for the game.

Still just loving the fact that 3 of our starting line up come from our academy that we didn't have to pay another team for, not many sides in the league can say that!
Of course the flip side of that is we paid other teams a lot for, and are paying a lot of money to, the players watching from the bench.
Strange that he's dropped Vertonghen but good to see Kane start and think Andros is also positive inclusion. As someone has said, strong bench too, lets gun them down Spurs!
I really think that it's an attitude thing with Verts
He hasn't looked anywhere near as sharp or interested since that Barcelona speculation. Strange, as his poorer performances since are doing nothing for Spurs or himself. Still better than Younes I think

Yes I totally agree but its nice thst our academy is producing players that actually start games for us you know, imo that's why Poch got the job with us!
On merit, I think Townsend made his case at mid-week. Happy to see Kane get the start. Now please boys, vindicate that choice.
Naughton?
One up front again. At home. Against average opposition.
Give Harry his due, he played two up yesterday against City and was rewarded. I don't get one up against crappy teams, especially at home.

I think other clubs are well aware that he will pick up once he's gone. His talent hasn't declined imho but his attitute towards the club is pretty rotten.
It's a problem inherent in football these days, which is why it's great to see players like Mason and Kane, who are no doubt playing for jersey and what it means to be a Spurs player rather than to pick up a lucrative wage and put themselves in the shop window for a move to a 'bigger' team
He's the only fit RB we have. He just has to stay healthy and not fuck up, please.
