Mendy injured

Ndidi in

Don't know who neither of them are tbf

NDidi is the better player.

You don’t remember people like stephen fruend or Korsten do you?

Still bugs me to this day that freund is a hall of famer.

Back spasm. Muscle pull can heal in just a few days when rested, but most muscle strains may take four to six weeks to heal, and a very severe muscle pull could take up to ten weeks.

Hopefully just a precaution for Dortmund on Wed

Need to get Son & Eriksen through this game without picking up any niggles

 

[Cavehillspur]

Maddison and Tielemans 2 players id have loved to have at Spurs

 

[idontgetit]

Are we going 4-3-3?

 

[wrd]

I hope tielemans is shit and Skipp tears it up and Poch gives a smug grin and starts shouting I told ya at all of us whilst giving it the leo wolf of wall street pose.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Wee lad Harvey Barnes is decent too..

 

[idontgetit]

Eriksen on the left, Son the right. Fullbacks pushing up to give width when those two tuck in? Could work well.

 

[Sevens]

Still bugs me to this day that freund is a hall of famer.

He was a decent defensive midfielder. Fans tend not to like DMs because they don't understand their role. It is why the only DMs that are generally rated are ones who run 30 yards to make a big crunching tackle (even though a good DM will rarely do that because a good DM wouldn't let a situation where they'd be 30 yards out of position happen anyway).

Freund was excellent at supporting the play when the team was in position and very good at shielding the back four. The most entertaining football I've seen Spurs play in the Premier League era was for a few months during the 01/02 season. Freund's presence was integral to that. It is no coincidence that it all went to pieces when Freund picked up a long term injury.

I'm not saying Freund was a great defensive midfielder, but he certainly wasn't a bad one or a bad player. For example a peak Freund was superior to a peak Wanyama or Dier.

COYS!

Good afternoon all from moshi in Tanzania. Coys.

Just dont see enough goals in the team. Only son can be counted on. Llorente and eriksen need to step up and produce today.
Will be a tough game to try win. Lets not go behind also.

Eriksen on the left, Son the right. Fullbacks pushing up to give width when those two tuck in? Could work well.

Diamond surely? Son and Llorente will play up top. Eriksen behind them in the hole. Sissoko on the right of the diamond. The only question is whether it will be Winks or Skipp or plays at the base of the diamond.

I'd be amazed if this was a 4-3-3.

 

[RichieS]

Are we going 4-3-3?

Diamond like most of this season I should think. Skipp or Winks at the base, the other with Sissoko in front and then Eriksen at no.10. Son buzzing around Llorente.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Theyve a fuckin decent side forgot about Perreira

 

[dickieven]

Their team looks strong. This should be a really good game. COYS

sorry, but Fruend was imo nowhere near a peak Wanyama.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Dont fancy this today, need a big improvement in performance

Shittin a brick here... COYS
