On paper, Spurs should storm this, and being going in at half time, perhaps with as many as two goals to the good. The bookmakers have our hosts at 10/1 which tells its own story. Tottenham are looking to show José they are prepared to ‘turn it on’ every time they play, opposed to when the planets happen to collide. This selection leaves enough on the bench in case of injury, tired legs or Mourinho throwing a wobbler.
… and therein lies our problem. Great going forward, but with a defensive Achilles heel. Only Toby and Reg are top four quality defenders for me and likely neither will play tonight.
I like the look of the side H, but I think we must give Hojbjerg a break and Sonny also, who had his least effective game of the season and looked knackered last Sunday. My team, Hart; Davies, Sanchez, Dier, Doherty; Sissoko, Ndomby, Lo Celso: ‘Sid’ Vinicious, Kane, Bale.
Our back four wouldn’t get into any top side. For me, none of them are good enough
Everyone looks happy up there except for a stony faced Bale and Vinny who’s spotted his ex gf in the crowd
