Match Threads Spurs vs Burnley - Match Thread

[Luka Van der Bale]

Exciting gamble. Looking fwd to Skipp having a good game. Saving this team for Wednesday? Maybe a back 5?

Lloris
Aurier Toby Verts Rose
Dier
Sissoko Winks
Eriksen Kane Son​

I imagine it will be as close to the line-up we played in Barcelona as injury permits.

Only reason I can think of playing Trip just back from injury instead of KWP is cause we playing Davies as a LCB. Poch feels we need more experience in the backline cause that isnt Davies natural position

Maybe see KWP in after half time

Good to see another youngster get a start

Why does it seem that people are now panicking about the selection? Chill, we have this

What has happened to Dier? He was fit enough to be a sub at Barca He even did a ‘warm down’ on field after the game
But not even on bench today and a makeshift CB playing and a novice CB on bench
Dier either got injured in training yesterday or had a fight with Poch
I have to believe the former
Selection suggests Jan is also a fitness concern
Hope Foyth and Sanchez back soon
Very worrying for Xmas games and for Carabao

or he picked up a virus.... as already posted.
So probably had it at the start of the week and was left on the bench, and not not well enough to be in the squad

Because it’s the match day thread and everyone wets their knickers whatever the line up is. If we were full strength they would all be moaning about not taking the next game seriously

 

[Blackrat1299]

Who's on the bench for us?

 

[TonyWant]

Yes - lets immediately jump to the worst case scenario.

Or, maybe we trust the club when they say he has a virus...

OK Just saw virus story on a Dier and thigh story on Jan
Still not very good news

 

[Gareth88]

This is not the team I expected at all and Im hoping this is an easy steam rolling for us but the pessimist in me says its a draw.

 

[riggi]

Should of rested Kane.

 

[chrissivad]

Who's on the bench for us?

Gazza, KWP, Eyoma, Winks, Eriksen, Son and Llorente

 

[jonnyp]

Well that certainly is an interesting lineup!

 

[danielneeds]

Looking forward to seeing how Skipp fares. You know Dyche will be instructing his players to target him physically, so it will be a good test.

 

[chinaman]

Just want Skipp to give a good account of himself, together with the 3 points.

 

[thinktank]

See Poch's been listening to thinky.

Good man.

Skipp to be our MoM.

 

[cjbyid]

Interesting team alright, but that's expected this time of year!

We'll manage. Good bench too.

COYS

 

[Gbspurs]

Our front 4 always looks so strong nowadays.

Just need to get someone in to replace Wanyama/Dembele so we can be strong in the middle

 

[dickieven]

Looking forward to this, interesting line up. Must get 3 points. COYS.

 

[danielneeds]

Looks like Burnley are gonna play 5-4-1. Hopefully Rose and Trippier can pin them back out wide and then we can trap them in their half.

 

[Ben1]

Yeah that's the team I predicted I think

 

[Wsussexspur]

Wondering what happened to Oakley -Boothe? He was in and around first team last season but seems to be have been over taken by Skipp now
