Team for Brighton...

[Serpico]

BIssouma should play - I would keep same 11 as Tues, replace a forward possibly Kane. He’s off line at the minute. Rest him for CL on Wed.

 

[HildoSpur]

I'm expecting the same team but with Perisic at RWB and Sessegnon and LWB

 

[npearl4spurs]

It isn't going to be this (Richarlison will start), but I would play this or Skipp for any of the midfield three (big fan of Skipp). Assuming Dier and Deki can't play. We've been given no signs that Conte wants to start Doherty or Spence.

Have we had Conte’s press interview for the Brighton match yet?

I don’t think he is doing any press conferences this weekend.

Against Arsenal he did choose to bring on Doherty rather than considering moving Perisic across, although that could also have been because Perisic was knackered.

I wouldn't be surprised either way, but dont think it's a given Perisic plays on the right after looking pretty dodgy there against Leicester. Feels like a 50/50 between him and Doherty to me (don't think Spence has a chance in hell atm).

Would like to see the 3-5-2 though. Especially against a team like Brighton that loves to hog the ball, and with Bissouma who knows their squad inside out.

Pressie cancelled due to Gian, expect team news to come up on website sometime this afternoon.

PS. Assume team news will come up on website , nothing yet at 15:50, it's all very sad just wonder how this will effect Antonio tomorrow sure he will be much more subdued than normal.

That's not possible. Emerson is suspended.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Doesn't seem to be any team news , might have to wait until morning or none at all until KO.
Emerson doesn't start that's one thing we can be certain about.
A few small facts on BBC about game tomorrow.

• This is their ninth league fixture of the season but only their second outside of London. The other was a 2-0 victory at Nottingham Forest, their only league away win so far.
• Spurs have faced 127 shots in their eight league matches - the average of 15.9 per game is their highest in a season since such data was first recorded in 2003-04.
• Harry Kane has scored eight goals in 10 appearances for Spurs versus Brighton in all competitions.
• Son Heung-min has gone nine games without scoring against Brighton in all competitions.

Kulu and Moura still out? If so, we're fucked.

Perisic at RWB is playing him all wrong. He's predominantly left sided and has a wicked cross with his left, far better than Sessignon in my opinion. I don't remember which game it was but Perisic recently played at RWB and was complete rubbish.

I'd be happy to see Doherty at RWB. It's obvious Spence isn't going to get much game time under Conte.

Kulu is still injured.
I think Moura has been cancelled.

 

[Pat Rice Spurs fan]

We must only start with 2 of our 3 fit forwards. Our first sub is to take one of them off and put a more defensive player on. That lifts the opposition more than us.
If we can't alter from 3-4-3, play Perisic, Sessegnon or even Doherty up front.

If Moura really has been cancelled by us, I wish us to crash out of every competition for being so stupid.

I don't know what you mean by 'cancelled'...

The word means to decide not to conduct or perform (something planned or expected) usually without expectation of conducting or performing it at a later time

 

[Gbspurs]

Lloris
Romero Dier Lenglet
Doherty Bissouma Perisic
Bentacur Hojbjerg
Kane Richarlison

Would like to see Richy and Kane up-top in a 352.
​

This has to be it, anything other than this lineup is a huge failing in my mind. You have to respect Conte for wanting to stick to his gameplan but now it's been shown to not work without Kulusevski we need to change it up. If he doesn't realise that I'll start to be a little concerned in all honesty.

I was referring to his tweets. Just joking.

Agree, but we know it will be 343.

Agree 100%. It's going to be 343 with minimal changes isn't it.

Had an ideal opportunity to change it up last week and catch Arsenal out but didn't change a thing. They spent all week planning how to negate us and beat us deservedly.

I know what cancelled means, but in context, you're saying Conte will never use Lucas again. Cheers.
