Really looking forward to seeing how we line up- not so much who plays- but the shape of the team etc.
Going to be interesting for me at least as pre season friendlies often are just an extended training session this early in the process

yes me too. I don't think the squad selection will tell us much yet but the formation might as to how Nuno wants the team to play plus the style of football. He's been quite vocal about pressing and attacking further up the pitch.

Although I'm more interested in shape and style than what personnel he uses today, I really hope we see Skipp and Sessegnon who should be like 2 new signings.

Feeling more optimistic about this season than I did when Nuno was hired. Several youngsters and returning loaned players will feel like new players. Looking forward to today.

Some of the newer fringe players could force their ways into this seasons plans.
I'd be annoyed if we see the same old squad guys getting run outs in favour Sess, Skipp (is he fully) and other youngsters with potential

Can't say I'd be annoyed with any line up. They all need fitness and match sharpness, even if we are planning to sell them. Perhaps it's a way of putting them in the window as well.

I would expect to see everyone who has been training all week get 1/2 a game each. So do not read anything into the likes of Lamela, Winks and Dier playing.

One major positive of England being in the final, the wait for Spurs wasn't as long. 6 days! ?

Nuno will want to see as much of these players as he can before deciding if he wants to keep them.

I wouldn't worry too much about who is playing in these first 3 pre season games.

The U23s are playing Ramsgate at the same time today so I guess that could restrict the number of younger players we see.

I'm hoping the priority is rightly placed on the first team and most of them are included with U18s filling in for the U23s.

Looking forward to seeing Paskotsi in action, haven't seen him play before.

I know its only pre-season but it's so depressing seeing the usual suspects still at Spurs. Dier captain, Winks, Moura, Dele. How is CCV still here?

Yuck.
