Tottenham Hotspur v. LASK || Europa League Group Stage 03.12.2020

[Deleted member 13260]

Hopefully we bury them by half time so a few of them can be rested for more than 10-15 minutes at the end.

Away games in the Europa are often trudging affairs though so I don't expect to see a few of them getting the rest they might perhaps need.

Hojbjerg seems pretty injury resilient so it seems low risk to start him but Ndombele seems a particularly unnecessary risk.

The guy has been well managed rarely playing a full 90 mins.

Maybe the view is this well help him build match fitness?

Don't forget people, it's an early kick off this one.

17:55 UK time.

That’s good it’s the cyclone on I’m a celebrity tonight it’s gonna be Baltic doing that....

[Harrison_COYS]

fuck me, this is a very attacking line-up

WE SHOULD HAVE SAVED THIS FOR ARSENIL

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

Mou wants this done to tonight, not to be messing around having to play a strong lineup against Antwerp.

Maybe he thinks the goons are shit

 

[spursmalc]

So how many do we need to be winning by to sub players off at H/T ? 1, 2 or 3 goals. A draw is good enough today it is next week we need to win.

They're shit but they beat United and will lift their game for a derby.

 

[Ciro]

Interesting to notice that some of our wide players are being rested - both FB´s, Aurier and Reguilón ("injured", I know), plus Bergwijn and Sissoko.

Remember our last victory against Woolwich. Jose used a 4-4-2, with Lucas and Sissoko wide - two hard working players, exactly to protect the sides. Sonny was used next to Harry Kane, in a front two.

I think with Bergwijn instead of Lucas (on the left), Jose could do something very similar on Sunday.

Exactly. Even if we win today, if we draw next week, we finish second in the group. So next week's game is far more important.

 

[snowkarl]

Why are Son, Ndombele and PEH playing this game?

 

[ArcspacE]

Chroist.. Does Jose know something about these wannabe Germans, that we don't?

Remember what happened last time the English underestimated a young Austrian

 

[Allejo10]

Relax, Mou is just testing that midfield 3 for Woolwich.

We were on poor form at the time and had to adjust a bit because of that.
I think it's very likely that if all players are fit, we'll play the same XI as we did against Chelsea (maybe Sanchez instead of Rodon depending on his performance today).

So we need Son Ndombele Hojbjerg off ASAP.

 

[bfwolf]

To be fair, Jose really wants to win this competition, and probably sees it as an easier task than winning the league (which it absolutely is, to be fair), so if a win guarantees us qualification, it's no wonder he's going for it.

Maybe he thinks the kids should be playing Woolwich on the weekend so they've at least got half a chance

Our odds to win the PL and EL are 6/1.

All we need is a draw to advance so playing a strong lineup seems unnecessary ahead of a Woolwich match we really need to win.

 

[AlabamaSpur]

Stronger lineup than I expected.

 

[HeroesAndVillains]

Why are Son, Ndombele and PEH playing this game?

Because we're playing a minnow this weekend?

I´m saying he could do something similar. Not that he will do, or that I feel he should do.

 

[AndriusTH]

Wonder when we'll wear the green kit, presumably vs Leeds away....

Newcastle? - most likely the yellow.

I would think Watford or Norwich but they are not in Premier League now, so probably Fulham/Leeds or even Stoke.

I wonder if a 4th kit is a real thing.
