Would it be safe to say that is KWP starts today then we won't be going for a new RB?
I think Sissoko might start as RWB. He'll certainly have added motivation today and I hope he does well. I don't think you can read too much into the RB situation or KWPs status just yet.

I think sissoko will start too, but if KWP did start it would make me wonder if we will go for another RB especially if Kyle performs well.

Poch said the other day that KWP won't start, so it'll surely be either Sissoko, or Dier if Wimmer plays the third CB.

How fit is Winks?

I don't think that's what he said. He wasn't 100% clear, but he seemed to be saying that KWP could start in a back four, or Sissoko in a wing back role. I'd be surprised to see Dier at RB. We'll find out soon enough.

Tough away game. Everton away last season we were completely dominated until Lamelas equaliser around an hour in. Hope we dont start that slowly this time round, their crowd will be roaring and i can imagine it being really uncomfortable for us to start with.

Prediction: Newcastle 1 Spurs 2, Kane to score in August for the first time to bag us the points

Yeah this is one of those games where you want to play them a couple of months into the season where the PL grind has set in and they know they are in for a slog. First day is always difficult. Mind you hopefully some of our end of season confidence bleeds into this season.

The Juve performance (insofar as how the team looked - not the result) gives me confidence that we can start the season in the same vein as we finished the last one.

From the beginning of Juve game right through the 90 minutes, you'd think we'd just walked straight off the field at Hull and onto the pitch at Wembley.

He said both. First he said that KWP wasn't ready to be the first-11 team's right back. Then in a different interview he said that the choice of KWP or Sissoko would depend on the chosen defensive formation.

Ladies and Gents, if you would kindly take your seats and strap yourselves in safely, the Spurs Community match day thread Bingo Cards will be passed around shortly;

Old favourites such as "Lloris' kicking is a fucking disgrace", "Why Sissoko?! WHY?!?!," "Dembele's gotta release that earlier," "Would like to see Edwards on at HT for Son", and the always popular "FFS Jansen!!!" will be joined by new inclusions such as,

"Walker would have gotten to that!"
"Where's Edwards?!"
"Danny Rose would have gotten to that!"
"If Utd want 60 million for Dier, I'll drive him to Manchester myself."
&
"FFS JANSEN, SERIOUSLY!!!"

Walker-Peters and no Wanyama in the first 11 then!
