Haha. Don't ever change, thinkybaby.

Except for maybe all that "kissing rings and dickless pissing" business... but I digress.

Foyth joined Spurs in August '19 as a 19 year-old. 8 months removed from signing his first professional contract in Argentina for Estudiantes, who he played a grand total of 8 professional matches for before joining us (all at CB.).

Foyth's first appearance for Villarreal was as a RB substitute. He's started 2 matches at CB for Villarreal (both in Copa del Rey matches against lower division clubs).

Foyth was used as a stop-gap DM by Emery @ Villarreal (due to the injury of Coquelin) a total of 4 times. Once, in a Copa del Rey match against a 3rd division side, twice in December La Liga matches (where he was subbed off at halftime in both matches), and once in a February 2021 in La Liga home loss vs Real Betis.

In December 2020, Villarreal bought and directly inserted Capoue into the starting lineup as soon as he was eligible (afterJanuary 04, 2021.).

The majority of Foyth's starts and appearances for Villarreal have been at RB, including the last 2 La Liga matches (both losses).

For Villarreal this season, Foyth is 2nd choice RB, 4th/5th choice CB, and emergency/stop-gap DM.




It is fairly common for youth or professional players (GKs aside) to play in multiple positions throughout their career, often in the same season, sometimes within the same match. Vinícius for example, was a CB as a youth player.

Foyth broke into the national team for the 2019 Copa America, where he played 4 matches for Argentina (including the 0-2 semifinal loss to Brazil).

I'll give you one guess what position he played for Argentina in all of those matches...





Of course Foyth is a Right Back.

By Thinky's logic Gianluigi Buffon is a midfielder
Fernando Torres was a goalkeeper
Kurt Zouma is a Centre forward
David De Gea is a Striker
and don't forget Sol Campbell was a striker throughout his career, as these were all their positions as youth players.
And what is it I see in his team, a Left Back play as a Right Sided forward.

-------------Vinicius--------------

Though that would seem more suitable if 1st game would be away.
To keep it tight at the back (with Sissoko and Bergwijn tracking back all the time + overlapping with speed if needed); Lamela and Alli also pressing but providing more guile and passing. With Ndombele pulling strings from deeper.

PEH, Kane, Son and Bale have to at least be on the bench when game starts...

Here's the team JM picked for the Woolwich home game.

LLORIS Hugo
AURIER Serge
ALDERWEIRELD Toby
DIER Eric
REGUILON Sergio
HOJBJERG Pierre-Emile
SISSOKO Moussa
LO CELSO Giovani
BERGWIJN Steven
SON Heung-min
KANE Harry

Fingers crossed all the players in that team will be fit for both Thursday and Sunday.
IMO biggest decision for JM will be Toby for this game or Arse.
Then JM must decide Doc or Aurier for DZ. Can't see either FB playing both games.
I expect Ndombele to start and be subbed on the hour mark by GLC (if fit).
Then who starts of those two v Arse?
Will be an indication of JM's priorities if Kane starts v DZ. I think he will.
 
Clean sheet imperative. Makes scoring in Zagreb a huge bonus.

Would take a 1-0 with eyes on the fact they'd need 3 if we score away.
Yeah, still think he's going to go strong for this at the expense of the league, for the above reasons. We can rest people next week if we win with a clean sheet.

They will be tough, but we've got the quality to get 2 or 3 and then it'll be game over if we score there.

I think 9 points from our last 3 games suddenly makes the Woolwich game a lot more important than it was.
After all the moaning, we've now won 4 of our last 6, with an acceptable loss to City and a bad defence away from getting point(s) against West Ham in the other.
A few weeks ago I was thinking of resting key players in the league and going all out to win the ropey league. Win a cup and get CL football in one go.
But now, hmm.

I think mourinhos plan all along has been Europa league this season
 
Woolwich will see the Ropey league as there only chance of Euro football next season, so I would expect them to field their strongest side. They also have to travel for their first leg and that won't be ideal.
After that they can fuck off.
I still think they will play their strongest XI v us as its a derby game.
I also expect us to try field our strongest XI

Its just the question of which of those XI's will be least tired and have the most energy. Hopefully we are able to rest more players than they will
