Match Threads Huddersfield vs Spurs - Match Thread

[freeeki]

Think he's being rested with Wednesday in mind.

Coming back from injury, been playing well of the bench, and his high energy press will definitely be needed come Wednesday against Barcelona.

I'm all for it, think the team should be strong enough against Huddersfield.

Where have you been all season?

 

[Marty]

Because we don't have good enough squad options in AM and up top, meaning with Dele and Eriksen out we only have four decent players there - Kane, Lucas, Son and Lamela. We can't play all four all match today, and against Barca, and next weekend etc, so we have to use 3 at the back.

I accept that argument but we need a bolder CM when we play 3 CBs in games we are expected to control. I would've hoped Winks would've been in for either of the D's.

 

[spurs mental]

Davy Provan just said Moura doesn't get much game time. Has he not watched Spurs this season?

 

[gp13tot]

You really think KWP will start against Barca?!

Well trippire better not and id think aurier won't be fit.

If trippier starts weds we are losing far heavier than i already fear. Nowhere near good enough defensively. Think it could be the making of KWP and boost his confidence massively. He'd be no worse than trippier of that im sure.

 

[Blue]

Winks and Lamela were both a must in our side considering the circumstances - what is this team.

 

[TropicalYid]

COYS! Need 3 p today

Really don't like the look of the green shirts on tv

You're 100% right but there is zero chance KWP starts Wednesday unless Trippier picks up an injury. And even then, Poch might go with Dier at RB.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Yay another formation change up.

What could go wrong.

It’s fucking weird. We’re struggling for momentum and creativity and we play with three CBs and no Lamela

 

[Saoirse]

Like the look of that high FK line. Hopefully a sign we've worked on our shocking set-piece defending.

Id rather dier than trippier. Just have an inkling he'll go with kwp

He will not start KWP on Wednesday. I hope he does because KWP's a better fit for our team but there is zero chance.

 

[thinktank]

Saving grace is hudds want to go for it today...which helps.

Poch will still change this shape before the game's over.

Stupid to start with it.

 

[hughy]

In what world did Poch actually think this was the correct team and formation?

 

[gp13tot]

He will not start KWP on Wednesday.

Well if he can play trips 2 games running can poch stop rotating full backs every week and give aurier a consistent run in the side. He's the hot hand atm

 

[Streetspur77]

In what world did Poch actually think this was the correct team and formation?

Probably the one where he’s a professional football manager with decades of experience at the highest level of football and an in depth knowledge of our players and we’re just some random people on the internet.

Which insidentally is the world we’re in now

 

[SdB]

poor start

 

[hughy]

I was worried we were going to go 10 minutes without a stray Dier pass, but no he didn't let us down...

 

[yankspurs]

Jesus christ, Kane. Just chip it first time.
