Pre-Season 2023/24

Where’s ndombele and Gil?

Ndombele has been absent since he was injured training ahead of the Perth game.

Gil was already injured and never travelled - he stayed home with Bentancur, Sess & co.

Where’s ndombele and Gil?

Gil didn't even travel due to a back injury, I believe and Tanguy took a knock the other day but I've not heard anything about him still being injured.
I'm thinking that his reaction to that injury may have shown Ange the lack of heart and desire that he has.
As we've seen many times during his time at Spurs, clatter him early and he spends the rest of his time uninterested and sulking.

Apologies, but what time is KO today (UK time) please?

I'm abroad at the moment and have seen 3 different times, 11.30, 13.30 and 15.30 so not sure which is correct as guess one will be UK time and another my local time (BST +2) and the other...who knows!

Thanks in advance

Looks like Ange already knows his preferred line-up. The only questions are:

(1) what happens when we buy a new CB? Does Davies move to LB or does Udogie keep the position?
(2) who wins the third midfield slot: Skill, Sarr, or Bentancur when he returns?
(3) as someone else already mentioned, can Porro keep the RB position ahead of Royal when we play decent opposition? Surprised that Ange doesn’t prefer Royal as he’s very reliable.

Ange is like the anti-Conte/Jose. He always seems to opt for the player with the most attacking potential in each position rather than the best off-the-ball.

My fear is that the PL is so tough that we won't be able to dominate the opposition in the way Ange has been able to in other jobs and the Porro @ RB experiment will be one step too far as he'll get roasted when we have to actually defend.

Hope I'm wrong, though. If we can actually get away with playing Porro as a RB then he's a serious weapon offensively.

Now that both Bissouma and Sarr looks to be playing bigger roles this season the club need to plan accordingly with the AFCON coming up this winter. Two players leaving isn't the end of the world but it's unfortunate their both in central midfield.

I would personally keep Devine until late January as an option and let him go on a loan towards the end of the window if he hasn't been giving enough chances in the first team.

Thanks both... It would appear some of my apps were still in GMT, and not BST, so the 15.30 was correct for me and explains the extra hour being added.

Just have to hope the WiFi and Spurs Play although me to stream it so I'll watch by the pool with a beer

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Is Tanguy off then, or have I missed something? He seemed to be training the past few days and hasn't been in any of the squads yet. I'm fine with him going without replacement as long as we keep GLC.

He only joined full training a couple of days ago according to Ange. Guess he's been struggling with that knock he sustained.

Looks like Ange already knows his preferred line-up. The only questions are:

Ange said pretty specifically not to read into the team selection just yet.

Has the broadcast started yet??

Still waiting, just when things couldn’t get more farcical surely? It’s now up and running like Joe Lewis

 

[carpediem991]

Is there probably some free audio commentary via Spurs or somewhere on youtube?

Would like to be informed while working...

Same here mate.

Like the fact Ange says our style of play is still in the embryonic stages yet we still had 30+ shots and 70% possession vs West Ham.

Bodes well.

I think it will be a lot higher today.

lets smash these sailor ****s.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Of our current CB's do we think Davies at LCB or Dier is better?

Otherwise of those fit I'd say put Skipp in for Sarr or ideally Lo Celso and drop Bissouma back to n.o6 and that is our best XI currently
