Swear there isn't a more jinxed team than Spurs!
What rubbish.
We play an incredibly dynamic and highly agile way of playing football.
Ange has alluded to this, in the first year he’s going to run everyone until they break a bit….and then by Year 2 the conditioning team can find the fragility in player’s physiological systems and help build stronger bodily systems.
It’s a long term project and has got ZERO to do with jinxes or luck.

We’re finding the weakness in everyone’s systems and mindsets and then we’re filling them in, building stronger…..for all eventualities. Long term.

Not sure where the hyperbole about being jinxed is coming from. As there's been no news about either Porro or Udogie being out for a spell due to injury. If O'Keefe is implying there will be a late assessment, that may mean, at worst, they're both out this Saturday. That's just one game. And I believe both Royal and Davies can slot in and do a good job against Wolves.

I actually think a fit Sessegnon would work well as a fb in our system. His movement and finishing is one of his plus points. The problem is he’s just never fit, and as a result he’s likely not got the legs for our system now either.
Tbh I don’t think there’s a system that suits him better as a fullback
Whether he trusts his body or not is a different matter. Sadly his own confidence in his physical state seems to have evaporated
But I’d love to see him on Saturday playing the destiny role

"Dynamic and agile", sounds like New Public Manegement lingo.

We also don't have a game next week due to Chelsea's cup final. So if they miss tomorrow, they have two weeks before the next game.

It's arguably better to rest both Porro & Udogie against Wolves than to have one missing for each of Wolves / Palace, due to the difference in how they play compared to the back-up options. With both on the pitch, we can fully commit to Ange's system, but with only one we can't. Also, I feel very comfortable with Emerson & Davies defensively.

Could mickey stand in for destiny. He has played lb before.

He could, but I think that's doing a disservice to Ben Davies. Although he's not Udogie, I think he's a lot more progressive than people think and the same goes for Emerson who used to get in plenty of great attacking positions.

Plus I'd rather keep the best CB pairing if we have neither fullback available.

He'll get his head up and pass it at least...

But Davies worries me against Neto. He struggled massively for pace against ayew at palace and we had to move emerson there. Neto is a lot quicker than ayew

Some website player profiles have Dragusin as having had experience at left back even though he is right footed , he is supposed to be quick , could he be an option ? Anyway Ange will know best and pick the best option .
