Got to get that ball moving quicker. Time for some meaningful incisive passing. No more chuckle brother football.

Sod the nervy, cagey approach. Let's have an assured, calculated masterclass from the Spurs.

Spank a Manc.

Wednesday at 3:38 PM

More of the same please regardless of selection, and of course, Spank a Manc now upgraded to...

Oust a Scouse.

I see Winks and Aurier are back in training, which I believe means we have a full squad available (I think Toby is good to go, if perhaps not match fit.)

THFCSPURS19 · Feb 2, 2018

FULLY FIT SQUAD OMG

Edit - ffs no Moura

Lloris
Aurier - Alderweireld - Vertonghen - Rose
Dier - Dembele
Son - Alli - Eriksen
Kane

Subs: Vorm, Sanchez, Trippier, Wanyama, Winks, Lamela, Llorente

Westmorland · Feb 2, 2018

Will have to be 3 at the back..or more likely 5. Toby should be ok to play now. We cannot afford to lose this match .Take a draw now. Play on the break...their defence will always give us a chance. Their midfield is not particularly creative now that Coutinho has gone and Lallana still injured. Likely that Milner and Henderson will be playing there. After Arsenal we have 11 games. Only Chelsea away and City at home lookdifficult. By the time we play City the league will be over so may not be the game it would have been earlier . They will be playing a second leg Champ Lge game on the tues/wed before us. So might we for that matter.

Sane would have destroyed most full backs in the world on that particular day, I very highly doubt that Aurier, KWP or for that matter that Forrest Gump **** who fucked off would have faired any better.

Some fans need to give Trippier a fucking break IMO.

I think it is more about the shape of the team and not leaving Trippier/Aurier exposed against pacy wide players like Sane or Martial as they dont have Walker level recovery speed. If we play three at the back or Dier/Wanyama as the DM dropping back when Tripper/Aurier goes forward then its not as big an issue.
I think our problems have been the injuries to Wanyama and Aldwereld plus Sanchez suspension left us exposed for a period.
Which meant Dembele or Winks doing a role they are not suited to.

Hengy1 · Feb 2, 2018

There is zero chance either Aurier and especially Winks will be in squad for Sunday imo

Yeah, and how many times have statements like this come to fruition?.

Dembele was great last night but can he play 2 high intensity games in a week?

I think he should still start and be replaced when the need to do so arrives

coys200 · Feb 2, 2018

Aurier maybe as it’s a Sub that would change our dynamic.

No Moura by the sounds of it

Poch doesn't believe Lucas Moura will be available to play at Anfield. "Yesterday he was doing tests with our sports science staff and medical team. Today he is in Paris doing private stuff. Tomorrow he's back with us. I don't believe it'll be possible for him to be available."

Depends on fitness I guess. If fully fit don’t see why couldn’t be on bench for 20 mins if really need him.

Poch doesn't tend to do mind games but hoping hes being a tad coy here and Lucas makes the bench, doesn't seem to be a fitness issue at least.

Edit:

Poch -

"Tomorrow he will start to work with the team. But he may need to work a little bit on his own to reach the level we need. I don't want to say yes or no (whether he will play Sunday) but I don't believe."

WexfordTownSpur · Feb 2, 2018

That’s wired wasn’t he playing with PSG? He wasn’t injured so he should be bloody fit for the bench at least. If he has spent enough time training with the guys and learning systems of play etc I guess that’s another thing.

Don't think he's played for a long time. Emery completely froze him out.

Mr Pink · Feb 2, 2018

Lucas injured already? Sounds about right lol

Mr Pink · Feb 2, 2018

I'd absolutely start Son as he's our most effective component for the counter attack but wouldnt be surprised if Poch went:

Lloris

Alderweireld
Sanchez
Vertonghen

Aurier
Dembele/Wanyama
Dier
Davies

Eriksen
Dele

Kane

He only played about 80 minutes this season with the additions at PSG, not really going to be match fit. Was training, but training to be in shape for Ligue 1 what Poch expects are 2 different things.
