Match The Bodø Affair - Part Two: Bodø/Glimt of Nordland vs The Mighty Tottenham - 2000hrs 8th May 2025 - UEFA Europa League Semi Final Leg 2

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

With seemingly all our creative players out for this one.. and a 2 goal lead to defend, I wouldn't be surprised if we pack the midfield and defence ...
Almost like the 4-4-2 experiment we tried in the 1st leg??

Vicario
Porro Romero VDV Udogie/Spence?
Kulu Bentancur Biss/Sarr Tel/Odobert
Richie Solanke

Or we drop Solanke & Richie and just go 4-6-0 for 90 minutes!!

I'm expecting the same plan as Eintracht away.
Play more direct, go to a back 5 if we are still defending a lead at the end.

Keep it compact for the first 20 minutes. They will want to start fast. Use skull duggery tactics and slow the game down if necessary.
I'd like us to still carry a threat going forward. We will need to score minimum 1 goal there.

I'd like us to play double pivot instead of single pivot. Kulusevski for Johnson to hold the ball up better. Tel because he will have a go at the defender but only reckon he will get 45-60 mins. Need some pace on the break so just shades it over Richarlison. Not sure on fitness of Son but I think he can be dangerous off the bench.

I'd go for this team if Maddison is fit.

Maddison almost certainly out injured.

In europe we can have an 11 man bench ...... perhaps add Moore to your bench
