Time to find your Rosary beads and get your priest on the phone. Premier Sports 1 have the broadcasting rights for this one, and after the shambolic mess they delivered instead of last week’s matches involving Spurs in Bulgaria and Glasgow Rangers in Greece, it remains uncertain is we’ll be able to watch this tie via legitimate means. Kick off is 7pm.
Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilón won’t feature, so that’s that answered. I would expect Joe Hart to be in goal, and Dele Alli to start. This is a great opportunity for Dele to make his mark, against nondescript opposition, but will he take it, or will we see more shin-pad hurling?
Kane is a shoo-in, as it is my understanding that Mourinho is on a campaign for another designated striker with Levy and it is impossible to believe the Portuguese will give our illustrious CEO even half an opportunity to say, ‘well you managed well enough against so-and-so’.
Plausible XI to follow!
Ray Clemence is still better than Hart!😂😂😂
True:~}
Kanes won fa too though, it doesn’t mean Giroud is better than him. 😉
Hit the ball low to Joe Harts left and 9 times out of 10 he fails according to Torino players.. I would rather trust Gazzanigga. From what we’ve seen of Joe in recent years he really isnt the same player he was ten years ago…. Isn’t BT sport showing all ropey and CL matches? Premier sports who? 😆 totalsportek .com tends to have streaming for all matches, even ones that aren’t advertised. With espn, fox and random arab channels then one can watch the few matches that sky and BT sports don’t cover.
He didn’t cover himself in glory at Torino,West Ham or Burnley either.If he can’t play out from the back with his feet why is he at Spurs,even on a free.
I seem to remember the main problem with Hart from Pep’s point of view was his distribution,particularly with his feet.It didn’t suit Pep’s way of playing.
You’re right you know. Damn you!🌚
Brandon & Alfie both 21 will have to play regularly at Championship level which will benefit them more than hanging around at Spurs on the bench or with the under 23’s. If they did that then in a couple of seasons when Hugo moves they will be in a better place to make the number one spot theirs.
He’s holding back Alfie. I want us to have a keeper who has come up through the ranks. Young Alfie has it in him. Three keepers is enough.
Very true, he had no excuses with all the previous managers from Rednapp to Pochettino, only it seems he’s now boxed himself in after appointing Mou and is going to be forced to actually support a manager for once. Of course he could have afforded better players back then, if he had bought in quality from the start he could have saved us millions on wasted punts.
If Hart hadn’t made so many mistakes Pep would never have got rid of him, confidence is huge in goalkeeping and Hart has never filled anyone with it since his demise.We all watch enough to have our own opinions definitely Gazzaniga for me,ahead of Hart but tonight Hugo.
I think he will as Hart seems to be Mourinho’s choice and he won’t get any game time otherwise.
If our two youngsters are any good then loans to the Championship should prove it or not.
I can’t disagree. Woy was the don of parken. Nice ground. Jumps in there
Young farmers league 🐖🐖
That didn’t apply to woy in Denmark🌚
Jose says nice blokes win fk all.
Not if they get knocked out of the domestic cups early. I’ve had a chat with woy in danish in Denmark when he smashed it with FC kobenhavn. Nice bloke
There is always one club who looks out of place when you look at the table in the first few weeks,wait till they get injuries and suspensions and they will drop like a stone to mid table at best,no strength in depth.Eze looks good.
Played 2 won 2🌚
Crystal Palace
Belgium🌚
C palace.
Have Chelsea really just done that? Smart move. He can play. I’d sign him today
I think so, but we need to start playing with confidence at the back and very quickly otherwise our season could be over before its really got started. We can’t rely on the front 3 to keep us in games. That’s what defences do.
Don’t let that fool you,Levy was protecting our assets,contract was running out.Jose would let him go if he knows Skiriniar is arriving.He dropped Toby instead of Dier for the saints game.Chelsea have just given Batshuayi a new contract but he won’t play for them,they were doing the same thing and have sent him out on loan.
He’s only just signed a new deal with JM’s blessing!
Hesgoal had a solid stream for our game, and other sites were showing the Rangers game without bother.
Whats that based on then? He’s won fk all. Also Josés goal keeping coach doesn’t seem to think so. Hugo hart and Alfie for me.
It’s starting to look like the case. If we do get these players in, should we start to feel optimistic?
one boasts the homegrown quota and cost no fee though – could be the difference in us signing another central defender/forward so when it comes to that – maybe Gazza can go
Two season a go we were still in the old place. No money there.

The draw of Mourinho can’t be underestimated,Bale said it.
Mourinho is not a pushover like Poch was. As a serial winner and with wages of £15m per year over 3 years, he can afford to push his weight around. Levy has married himself to Maureen and has to back him otherwise everyone will know it was his fault if there was no backing and no success as a result.
I’d be stunned if Levy splashed out on 2 new players (on top of the other big signings) at a time when there is so much financial uncertainty. If he does, it begs the question as to why he didn’t do this a couple of seasons back when we were on the cusp of success and there was no pandemic and empty stadiums.
Looks like we are serious about filling both,Milik is very available now at £17m plus £6m add on’s and we are in talks with Inter over Skiriniar.I think to get to the next level we do need a centre half better than any we currently have to be a starter.Tanganga has not played that many times and will get better with experience.
Is another centre half needed, when a new striker is a top priority? Just putting that out there. Don’t forget, we’ve got Tanganga to come back.
I actually think Gazzaniga is better than Hart.
I’m going to defend Premier Sports, here. That shambles last week wasn’t their fault. The problem was with the Bulgarian broadcasters. Every channel in the world showing that game would’ve had the same non transmission. I was watching on a Russian channel and it was the same. Let’s see if Macedonian TV can do a better job
Could Toby be included in the Skiriniar deal as a makeweight ?
I cant see how he would risk this one at all – I would say this is Jose’s numeber 1 target for the season.
Must win game you play your best keeper ida thought. Lose this we’re out. We must play Hugo.
