So Romero, VdV, Maddison and Bentancur are less important for Thursday than Gray ,Danso ,Bissouma and Bergval.Time for rotation
Kinsky
Porro Romero Van de Ven Udogie
Sarr Bentancur Maddison
Johnson Scarlett Tel
Rest the others so that we can win on Thursday

Exactly & I completely agree - this is why I'm not going today I really cannot be fukked watching Bournemouth.Narratives are dead now imo. They can only destabilize or offer excuses.
Now the only thing that matters is results. The Bournemouth result means nothing this season really. AZ means everything.
We need a win against Bournemouth for some positive energy going in to AZ but ultimately the only thing matters is winning against AZ
Same mate - I gave this one a pass & I only live an hour away from the stadium on public transport.Had to be at my pickup point at 7.30 this morning for this one. I've never had such little enthusiasm for a game and for the first time I'm questioning why the fuck I bother.
I honestly don't know if I can keep this financial and physical commitment next season.

I'm glad it's an early game so I can have some lunch at home watch the match & get on with my day without having to trudge through Seven Sisters.
the AZ game is El Sickico for me if we're out I'm fully Ange out.
Embarrassing isn't it.
I absolutely agree, although being in Australia it's a commitment of rest (or lack thereof) more than anything. Most matches are scheduled from 1am-4am... leading into a Monday morning, it's an awful way to start the week watching our shapeless capitulations.Had to be at my pickup point at 7.30 this morning for this one. I've never had such little enthusiasm for a game and for the first time I'm questioning why the fuck I bother.

Agreed - the PL this season has been, in my opinion, the least entertaining it has been in years & I watch 80% of the games on matchday so I'm not just talking about Spurs. I can't remember more than about 5-6 games that were 'Amazing' ok some big 'wins' yes but there's no tech in the PL, dribbling doesn't really exist anymore, I don't think I've seen more than 5-6 quality 'runs' or 'breakouts'. I'm sick to death of seeing the following phases in teamplay :-Don’t see the point watching Bournemouth today either.
Tbh I’m running out of reasons to watch football at all. The type of football every team is trending towards is now some kind of ultra transitional hybrid of Pulis and Jose ball with athletic robots in every position.
It’s just uninspiring and unwatchable for 99% of games and on top of that we are shit anyway and only exist for internet banter for the big broadcasters and publishers.

This is why I watch other Leagues mah dude
- Play from the back wth lateral passing waiting for the opposition to become out of position
- Short passing into the midfield while being pressed waiting for your players to create space
- Medium ball or tikka takka to a winger only approaching from the wings or losing the ball then a counter from the opposition
- Winger takes it & crosses into the box whether step 3 is in possession by either side
- Striker tries to score
Well for one Imwould not play both Romero and and VdV in their first games back. It didn’t work out well last time.Even 1/2 game each would be betterYep
Bentancur is banned and the other 2 need to prove their fitness now not collapse during the game on Thursday
Maddison to be dropped to the bench is my prediction, after his recent touchline convo with Sonny slating Postecoglou shouting "play" as his only instruction.
Angeball to serve up more dross, although there needs to be a reaction so I wouldn't be surprised to see a good result considering we're playing for nothing.
