I think Lennon will start on Sunday.
We lack pace at home and Mopo agrees, Chadli as false striker and Lennon on the left.

Personally I don't think Kane is anywhere near fast enough to play LWF and I still worry there is not enough creativity in that line up but it's good to see Soldado get a start.

Show's how much depth we have when we can make 10 changes and still field a strong team like that.

Glad to see that Mason seems to have moved up the pecking order. His pace and creativity (i.e. not passing sideways or backwards) will be need on Sunday.

Hope Bobby can bag a goal and push Ade out as he's been woeful the last few matches.

Id bloody love that to be the case, but can't see it happening.

One of the things I didn't consider from last Sunday was that by picking Mason, Poch showed that he takes form in the EL seriously, and if you do well here he won't be shy about putting you in the PL team.

For those that missed it lennon was hammered on Sunday and didn't show up at training Monday! Not the way to endear yourself to MO PO

Didn't show up to training?

Sack the twat

Average player who thinks Spurs owe him a living, Let him rot in the reserves for the remainder of his contract and let players kick balls at him.

I've only ever been impressed with Kane at LW. I also think that he and Soldado are a great partnership because they are both great passers and understand the game so well. Wouldn't be surprised to see Paulinho get a goal tonight running into the box after some linkup play.

That being said, Besiktas are a damn good team and have their full compliment today. Atiba and Veli in midfield will make things difficult and their attack is very capable.

Based on how we played vs Partizan and Limassol I can't see either side taking 3 points.

I just don't think he's good enough, fully fit or not. Pops up with the odd goal every few games but offers very little. Cant tackle, no pace, not creative enough to play as a number 10. I really don't rate. Been terrible when he's played any minutes this season.

Any minutes? He had a goal and an assist in one of his few games so this is just not true. He's been no worse than anyone else when he's played, so much for people giving him a chance this season.

Typical snide remark by Tim. Ferdipants managing to make Danny Dyer sound like Derek Jacobi

Not convinced with Dier as RB. Do they have anyone with pace on the left? I hope not otherwise Dier is in for a tought night
