Tottenham Hotspur vs Huddersfield Town - Match Thread

[felmani26]

Strong side as expected but would have liked a bit more nous alongside Eriksen as I can see it being another rather laborious first half with us not having enough penetration and zip in our play.

Son starts. Good

Hope you feel better for Wednesday!

Thanks and enjoy the game today

Llorente scores a hat trick last match. Sissoko gets on the bench over him. Christ

If we need Llorente off the bench with this lineup and Lamela/Lucas on first, then we're already fucked

 

[Northernspurs]

Llorente deserved to be on bench

Why ALWAYS Dier?

 

[Blackrat1299]

Noun on the bench though.. dammit you corrected yourself too quick

Which Noun is on the bench?

The four year old just slapped this down in front of me and wants it built imminently. I've got two and a half hours before I give up and listen to the game. Given that my fine and spatial motor skills are less evolved than a lobotomised simian, I'd say things could get dicey with the wee man

Gotta be better than the Tottenham v Rochdale VAR fest?

 

[Spurs 1961]

Glad to seeSon playing. I think he had a slight lull in form but expect those two goals in midweek has got him some confidence back. Lamela was key midweek and may well play against Juve as Lucas might

 

[Yid-ol]

Which Noun is on the bench?

going by the replies from some...Verbal (for llorente not being there)

 

[Tonio]

Why ALWAYS Dier?

Given our options on the bench, who do you suppose is better placed to play than him in the position he is used for?

Llorente deserved to be on bench

Instead of Rose, with Verts playing there is a natural lb cover for Davies...

Personally think KWP should have replaced both full backs (reward), giving room for Llorente.

Wasn't expecting Dembele

Yup. Score a hat-trick, start to get your confidence back and then find out you're not even on the bench. I can only hope there's a good reason for it.

Think is simply down to team balance - 2 defenders, 2 CMs, and 2 attacking players - and Lamela and Lucas are ahead of Llorente.

Llorente certainly deserves the praise for his performance against Rochdale, and I think his reward may be another start against Swansea.

Feet already wet and frozen not even at the station yet! COYS another Kane Hat Trick and Moura special off the bench!

 

[WiganSpur]

Not the worst team i've ever seen but I have reservations about Dier and Dembele in these kind of games. I'd have brought Lamela or Moura in for Dembele and gone 4-3-3.

I'm too drunk in baker st. Helpppp

Get down to Marylebone... Now!
