Do you guys think Poch bringing Hugo on for Gazza is the right decision? This might sound crazy but for some reason i feel more confident with Gazza in goal atm
 
Seen a lot of formations with 3 at the back and 3 up top. Feel like this could leave us overrun in midfield and isolated up top.

Really think we’ll need good ball carriers in the middle of the pitch to get up the field quickly. Dier should sit this one out.

There's a reason Gazzaniga has only played 83 games in 8 years and has been third choice at two Premier League clubs.

Hugo is numero uno.

Grass is greener syndrome.

Same as the people calling for Edwards to start a game last year without ever watching him play a single second of competitive football.

Maybe Gazzaniga is the future, maybe (likley) he isn't, but Barca in the CL is not the game to test that.

4 at the back would leave Trippier and Davies exposed terribly! These are guys who can’t handle players with pace running at them and need the protection of a back three! Remember Sane and Sterling destroying Trippier and mane Davies?!!

Also Davies can’t play surely? The lad could be through on goal with an empty net and he’d stop the ball, puts his hands outstretched to indicate ‘options’ turn back and then pass it to Vertonghen...
 
So hyped for this!!

I hope our fans get stuck in as early as the lads.

They're not in great shape. Let's be ruthless and maybe get a manager sacked so that everyone can say it wasn't really beating Barcelona. We all know how the majority of "journalists" will portray it regardless.

This team feeds off public disbelief sometimes. Ok we've fell at a couple of hurdles, full of injuries and I couldn't care less. Let's get ourselves 3 points on board and look forward to smashing some goals in against a poor Cardiff side
 
Is Oakley Booth injured or out on loan? If not he should be in contention as well I think

He's back from injury and has looked good, but only played 2 or 3 games, mainly as a RAM rather than a CM, as he picks up the pace

If he had played a couple more games, I'd definitely have him in contention. If we lost another of the squad I posted to injury he'd be one of the next on the list though.
 
Nothing better than a game under the lights. It may be Wembley but it's still Tottenham fucking Hotspur.

So excited.
 
Currently on a mission back from Cornwall. Intention is to drop the family at home, iron a shirt for the morning,, then jump in the car and head to Wembley. Everything crossed I'll make it in time.

Either way, COYS!
