Spurs welcome Austrian outfit, LASK Linz, to the Tottenham Stadium this evening in the first round of Europa League group games.
Jose Mourinho and his men will be looking to put the capitulation against West Ham behind them and the best way to do that is to record a convincing win over LASK.
Mourinho is certain to take this competition seriously, he is someone that wants to win every tournament he is involved in and he will be acutely aware what it will do for his legacy and reputation if he can turn Tottenham into serial winners.
Nothing less than a win will do tonight, defeat is unthinkable, it would set the team back no end, whereas a win would set them up perfectly for the away trip to Burnley on Monday night.
Tottenham starting XI
Let us know in the comments below what you think of Mourinho’s team line up, is this Tottenham starting XI going to collect all three points and if so, by how much?
Levy wins one Mickey Mouse Cup in over 20 years, and gives out a few free tickets to win favor. It seems to work…
I’m happy to discuss anything about my club on here, so keep asking me as much as you like dow i’m happy to discuss anything about my club on here, so keep asking me as much as you like Dan. My opinion isn’t worth any more than anyone else’s, however nobody is going to tell me what I think of the club or how to support them.
I guess that’s just tough sh*t for those who think they can… 😂
Some were very quiet after the 3-3 and full of sh*t after yesterday. So I’m just looking for some perspective, we learned we can beat a tiny team nobody’s heard of? When we beat someone serious, that’s the only way we will learn something. Bale might take a month or two to get fully up to speed. We have a deeper squad though for the first time in over two years…
The guys a fkin idiot, what you asking him for. Hater. “We’ve learned nothing” only those who think they know it all “learn nothing” that’s why they’re fkin “idiots!
How long is it going to take bale to get up to speed with his fitness!?
Good run out against a pub team, Vince looked good. Otherwise we’ve learned nothing, apart from the squad looking rotatable for the Ropey…
I’m on that wiv ya.
He definately improved and tbh wouldnt put him down much prob a 5 or 6 just not his best game will do better as he mostly does
I thought Doherty was very good in the 2nd half
I’m also enjoying the competition between players nearly all have upped their games.
It’s just that I don’t think I’ve never said Davies had a really good game, tonight was it.
Bens a left sided CB ain’t he.
PEH was probably MOTM but Moura would be my runner up if there’s such a thing
How’s that then.
Moura honestly had a few good moments too
…but then Son comes on and you realise he’s not quite that.
A good showing from Moura all the same.
Ben Davies, Moura or PEH for MOTM?
Yep want him ,holberg and nomdom to start a match fully fit.
He’s still got pace and power man. Just not as much. He can still “skin
Savvy is the word, he’s seen it done it at the highest level of pressure
Bale is a different player to the one who left WHL. Raw pace and power is gone but he’s much more savvy and still a wand of a left foot.
When Bale gets fit we’ll be formidable with hime and Son/Kane – at the start of this match he was nutmegging them, playing give and goes, really lively.
Just needs the fitness, he gives us something different again from Son and Kane – box of tricks.
Good to see Cell-so come on a make a few good passes…more please..
N€w lan€ l€vy is a don. My guy
😆🤣
I think we should have a 2nd chairman as well….when Levy cheeses us off we should be able to bring the other one in, and vis-versa! 😬
This time next year…
We’re covered all over. U18s and the pl2 side doing very well too. Its all good
Real shame Rodney cant play with all these easy Europa games, would’ve been good for him…
Watched him for Wales v England. A prospect but not ready just yet IMO
Tanganga and Skrinar is the future please. I’d start Doherty there ahead of Sanchez.
It was the second team and as such it is much stronger than we have had.
Maybe Roydon will be that man?
Solid enough performance. Vinicius looks a player who can create assists. Good touch just needs to be aware of offside positions. Gareth is getting there. It will take him a few matches and then he will explode again. Like to see Lo Celso and Ndombele behind Kane, Son and Bale. Love Requilion. His run for the second goal was so good to see one of our fullbacks heading in the right direction for a change. Docherty will come good I am sure. Lovely to hear Hart barking out the orders. Good for Kane to have a rest for Monday.
Trust tanganga
Hopefully he will,but I’d like to see a back three with him and Reg bombing upfield putting in crosses.
This is a great squad waiting to gel with the glaring exception of a reliable commanding centre half. Toby is the only one I trust.
Son up the tempo and Sissoko took the ball forward without losing it (Lamela!), made the 2nd half more palatable…amazing squad now, bit dodgy at the back and need to keep Winks away and Lamela as a sub..
He’s only been here a $h!t and a shave. He’ll be fine
I think he will adapt and do well just needs time
He definitely pulled out of a couple of challenges.
I thought we bought Doherty for the player he was at Wolves,the problem is he played with a back three there.I’m not sure he knows what his role is.
I think he’s not letting himself down yet, like he’s not fully confident he can sprint and not feel something go twang !
Foyth scored in Villarreal victory tonight
Its all coming together at Tottenham. Nothing to worry about here. We’ll play better the bigger the team.
3 points,clean sheet ,no injuries ,vinny looks decent,bale fitter all good.
Nothing exciting but hey it’s the start of a long competition.
Defence ,Sanchez mainly very much worries me .
Pleasingly refreshing. No fake crowd noise. All deserve a pay check.
Was willing him to knock it in good few mins effort from the lad
Decent evenings work. Played boys.
Good enough only player id knock is doherty but still good enough
Vinicius looks like hes built for the PL.
Looks like we have ourselves a 2nd striker at last.
He can play. He’s just raw.
Maureen has been happy with his attitude so all good with me.
Ha ha
The Lord Lucan of Spurs
Don’t write that boy off.
Nice lay off by vinny .
Oh my Lord here comes clarky.
Looks really unfit
The paucity of comment here reflects the level of performance.
Having a bench like that is great – I guess they dont do it in the PL as its unfair to the smaller teams
Yeah does.look a bit rusty 8 games behind the rest.
Yeah they keep making excuses for him.Jose has wised up to him.
It’s a definite easing in for Gareth.
So true.
Jenas still banging on about how young Dele is
Deli sulking before he even comes on.
Lamela 25 touches. Lose ball. Foul. Repeat.
Son…really
Scrappy opening to 2nd half. All it needs now is for these lads to nick one..
This is painful….cant string a pass…making hard work of it again…
I’m liking the look of vinny strong with decent awareness ,all this never get a game rubbish one week in he is on and Kane primed for next Monday.
Doherty very disappointing so far. And Sanchez just can’t track runners. Reacts far too late.
Agreed could provide a great option
Think we have done ok nothing special doherty could be criticised if anyone but we are doing enough
They have made a couple of deadhead challenges, hope they don’t injure anyone.
That’s about his level.
Vin has done well considering he hasn’t had much service…so far so good..
It seems Dele can’t even make the B team these days. He better pull his socks up or he’ll end up down the road playing at West Ham/Fulham…
The Winks-Iceberg middle doesn’t work for me, and having Lamela as CAM doesn’t help either..
Our new Bentley I tell ya.
Signs of an early understanding between Bale and Doherty – think as both sharpen they could be a nightmare for the oppo

he’s been poor so far this half…I’d take Winks off, we’ve out grown him..
He will come good. I’m sure of it
I think in a back three it would work
Doherty has regressed since joining.Hart is looking confident.
Yeah maurading runs he just can’t do ,it suits his skill set much more ,the prem would be the challenge though.
Why does Winks think he’s The Terminator tonight?
Davies already looks more comfortable as a LCB.
Vinny needs to watch his lines, always looks offside
Mou must be creaming his jeans over how his new signings are working out.
Hojberg now twirling on the dance floor ,more to him than meets the eye.
Few nice bits but you know there is a whole lot more to come.
Clever first time ball from Gaz
Poetry in motion
How’s bale getting on??
Goal fest imminent.
Happy daze only 3 more then we can relax,,maybe.
YIDZ
Hoijberg and Doherty teaming up well.
