But do they know if he will start against Lithuania??
That's a good question mate, we should make a thread about it or do a poll.

I was reading (slowly...) through Juventus forums to see what they think of us. To sum it up, the general (universal actually) consensus seems to be that while we're something between "decent" and "very good", it's a practical certainty that they'll beat us comfortably. Not a single poster doubted it.
"70/30 advantage for us"
"we're better in every respect"
"Kane is pretty good but inconsistent" (?? this guy might not have been studying very carefully our games...)
When one poster dared to say, wait, Tottenham are actually a very good team, this is not going to be as easy as you all think, he was pretty much brushed aside, since what we do in the Prem doesn't mean much (it was pointed out that the mighty Atalanta just beat Everton 8-1 on aggregate in the Europa, so 4-0 is pretty much par for the course against them).
Anyway (and these insights I also got from my Juventus supporting friend), "English teams don't know how to defend" (to an Italian football fan that's like telling you you're not man!). The vision of Prem football seems to be that it's a gung-ho affair, with basically 20 guys running after the ball without any tactics or plan.
Now to be honest I would say they're favourites, but not to the extreme they seem to believe. Let's hope their players are as overconfident as their fans.

Another comment from Juventus forums:
"Tottenham are just Inter with a couple of good players"
So, apparently for them, Inter are basically the yardstick as to what's a mediocre team. Though frankly over most of the last 30 years or so, I'd have been pretty happy to hear of us thought of by an erstwhile neutral as being in the same bracket (better than, even) as Inter.

Some more from Everton
Lucky to get away with only a 4-0 drubbing.
Outclassed by the Lileywhites in every dept.
..well played, Fella. Although Spurs were on easy street, their movement and quality was too much. Son was brilliant in those 20mins after the break. It was a stroll in the end.
Well played yesterday. 4 nil flattered us, not spurs.
Love watching Son play, cracking player and the type we sadly lack. As for kane, he was quite poor but still bagged 2 (albeit fortunate with the first). That is the difference.

Notice how they strategically took the photo (and altered the locker number) to show the aggregate score of both games against Everton hahahaha
