We HAVE to continue with this winning side! Confidence and all that. International brake after Saturday. That is where I personally believe we went wrong when we won 5-0 at hike. Need to build momentum, and team confidence. You cannot just go and change anything for Saturday.

at the end of the day, we will be facing a fresh energetic team on Saturday. there is no way he will use the same lineup

I cannot agree with that. Toby coming back is only sense I can see. Foyth and GLC obviously have a great understanding, and does speak the same language. So to bring in Aurier, nothing against him. To play same side as GLC, would be absolute madness to me.

Oh I agree with Foyth and GLC, and both have played very little so will be fresh

he doesn't seem to rotate Sissoko to much, but I won't be shocked he brings Winks back, wrong choice I think but Winks has had 2 weeks rest and can't see Rose who had a good game tonight starting either

Doesn’t change the fact though

I think it was lower before the summer window tbf. Been through it a few times.

Liverpool used to be terrible with singings, and they'd have 7 Andy Carrolls for every 1 Suarez. In the last 3 seasons or so, they've got almost every one right.

hope thats the last time we see winks/Sissoko partnership forward sharp passing

setup we had tonight is the way forward we dont have many rb options but Foyth is the best we have

I agree
This team looked fluid and strong even a weak Red Star team.
Foyth RB?
Ndombele is brilliant,Lo Celso excellent...no more slow stupid build ups...

It's a legit question imo. If Poch stays we are looking at what are currently 5 starting XI players either out of contact or wanting out. No CL could very easily see another 2-3 big players wanting to leave.

I'ts my opinion(educationally informed)new contracts would be strongly considered by certain players if Poch was to go. This is info I received a good while ago(and have posted it) and as far as I'm aware that is still the case.

In all honesty from the little bits I've heard recently things arent getting any worse behind the scenes. Problem is they aren't really improving either.
Eriksen - resisted a contract offer when everyone else was signing because he wanted his "dream" move - has been crap for the best part of a year...not worth the contract he was undoubtedly offered by Levy.
Toby - Poch went to bat for him, Levy agreed to a big contract and his team encouraged him to be greedy. Not worth the contract he'd want and was offered.
Rose - wants to leave, low wages but Poch has stood by him
Dier - almost out of contract but terrible injury run for a year. Seeing how Poch transformed him into an England starter, if he is one of those who wants Poch out, he is bloomin ungrateful
Verts - been a bit crap this season but have lots of time for super Jan. Hope if he and Poch have had a falling out, it can be remedied....but suspect he will get a big offer from Italy and move there.

Time for a big change. Levy is going to have to put up some big money...think of it as a significant deferred maintenance bill.

It's Poch and he'll rotate. It's his mantra, particularly when it comes to full-backs. He will bring in Toby, Davies and Aurier for Dier, Foyth and Rose. Certain of it.

Just want the players that featured in our midfield and attack in Belgrade to start against Sheffield United.

In that scenario we lose 5 players for free. I don't think we will see that big an investment, especially with no CL. Could also make an argument for several being replaces ahead of time.

Toby -> Foyth
Jan -> Sanchez
Eriksen -> Lo Celso
Dier -> maybe Skipp?

We obviously will still need signings, especially at RB and LB, but atvthe same time we won't need any major overhaul imo.

I think we all want Poch to turn this around. Personally did only watch the last 20 minutes of the game, so i'll reserve my judgement on this turn around thing until we do better in the league.

Red Star was just as shit like they were when we beat them 5-0 at home. But last night was a step in the right direction, but so was last time we played them. Saturday come

Sorry but from I read there several on SC that don’t seem to want Poch to ‘turn this around’.

I think its more a loss of belief in his ability to turn it around due to our current performances rather than actually wanting him to fail.
I stand by my post. Have a look at some of the posts over the last few months. They are embarrassing IMO for so called Spurs supporters.

Definitely not disagreeing with some of the bed wetting going on around here, but a lot of it is out of pure frustration.
