He ain't wrong is he.
We're a mess at the moment and it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Back four will have to be a Dier and Verts CB pairing. Can't play back 3 now.

Why not? Davies and Rose would be OK.

Thought we got a decent CB from Argentina - Foyth, do you reckon it's tad to soon for him?

It's not like a back three has been keeping the goals out. We really need to get Winks and Son in the side and move the ball around more decisively and go for the jugular much more than we have been doing.

It's been quite a fall to be 10 points behind United now. The importance of wins on the trot and losses on the trot comes into sharp focus. Swansea are two points closer to us than we are to City.....and about 5 games ago we were entertaining thoughts of wanting to pounce on any hiccups at the top.

If he's good enough - throw him in! I'm at that stage of thinking....same with Marcus Edwards! It's that old saying "If he's good enough- he's old enough" Obviously the coaching staff know better - but something needs to change

Who's the young CB playing for our u23's I think. Big strong lad but can't remember his name. I'm sure someone will know who I mean there are plenty on here who follow the youth teams.
Maybe give him a look as he's performing well for the lads.

No not him a younger guy only 18/19 I think, I'll see if I can find him but no point as he's not one of the youth in the squad for tomorrow. Luke Amos and Kazaiah Sterling are.
This from his interview on OS

Speaking to Spurs TV earlier, Mauricio told us: “Some players will have the possibility to play and show they can help the team in the future and fight to be a regular.

“We’re going to play with a strong team. It’s important that everyone takes the game seriously and it’s a good opportunity to show your condition, your quality and knock on the door saying ‘I’m here, I’m ready’ if you want to be a regular in the first team. It’s a good opportunity and we want to finish in a good way.”

Mauricio also confirmed that development squad players Luke Amos and Kazaiah Sterling will be in the squad



I think he is Japhet Tanganga I meant. Born March 1999.
