Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Day 14

[PCozzie]

Richarlison makes the bench

Richarlison on the bench too. Nice to have some more attacking options on the bench.

 

[easley91]

Santiago and Richy on the bench. That wasn't expected (unless I missed quotes previously).

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Brave. I thought Yago was out for a while….

That’s what I thought. Good to see him on the bench tho.

 

[mil1lion]

Who is Santiago?

He's been talked up as one of the promising prospects from the academy, believe he plays wide forward

 

[Bowlesinho]

No Dier at all?

 

[snakehipsspurs]

Clear a sign as possible that Hojbjerg and Dier could receive that their futures are elsewhere. Ange is uncompromising and brave, let's hope the players bring the same attitude today!

 

[easley91]

Who is Santiago?

The greatest striker to ever play for Newcastle (sorry Alan).

 

[Impspur1]

We’re not going to be playing for a nil nil today! No CBs, no worries play all the attackers and what I would do too!

 

[McFlash]

Who is Santiago?

Yago Santiago.
Young lad who seems to have been with us for donkeys but it's probably been about 4 or 5 years.
Was having a really good season (a bit unexpectedly for me) til he got injured and it's good to see him get in the bench.
Was scoring and creating really well before his injury.

P.s. the Youth Thread is your friend.

No Dier at all?

Injured

 

[easley91]

Injured

Another injury??? Do we know how long for?

 

[Tucker]

Nice team.

Tbf once we get Romero back in, considering all the injuries, it's still pretty good.

Still expecting a heavy defeat. But I’m hopeful this is the last spoonful of castor oil we will have to drink before we get some semblance of form again.

 

[easley91]

Just no injuries or suspensions today please. Romero back for Thursday, Richy on the bench. Things already looking better.

 

[karennina]

I do like the trio of technical, press resistant players in the centre - Bissouma, Lo Celso, Kulusevski. Gives us a chance to get hold of the match and go toe to toe in terms of possession, and then with Johnson, Son and Gil breaking, anything could happen.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Johnson up against Gvardiol could be interesting. Gvardiol not brilliant lately.

 

[mark87]

If we make five out-field subs today that'll mean atleast one of our youngsters will make their debut for us today.

 

[mark87]

Another injury??? Do we know how long for?

No idea

 

[Hotspur_Hero]

I wonder if Richy is actually fit enough to play or if we just ran out of warm bodies to put on the bench. 2 goalkeepes and only 3 senior outfield players on the bench today is crazy.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I wonder if Richy is actually fit enough to play or if we just ran out of warm bodies to put on the bench. 2 goalkeepes and only 3 senior outfield players on the bench today is crazy.

He has been training - probably not fit for 60 minutes, but maybe 10-15.

I like that he is back - I think it shows a level of commitment from him to the team - and we need all the commitment we can get during this period.
