Something like this I guess. Not sure there is anything especially interesting to be learnt from this game. Would imagine more of the recognised first team start getting minutes against Chelsea

So the Tottenham tour squad is something vaguely like this. A couple of players will shift around. Still plenty of time, but that front line needs work

When Porro celebrating isn’t on the screen, all the other viewers should be asking ‘Where’s Porro?’

This is my squad-audit using @theextrainch.bsky.social tool. I would change less than seemingly everyone else, but I would spend big on 3 new starters. Nicolas Jackson currently my best bet at striker, but not a hill I am willing to die on. Don't crush my Wharton dreams. I know they're not likely

maybe? I think I like this as an idea more than Gray at LB, but those CBs...

Thank goodness. Going into Fulham with something like this will help. Fulham are tough so a point would be a good result at this stage. Next big returns are Udogie & Romero. If Udogie is back by the UCL fixtures, that would be wonderful. Then it doesn't look like anyone else is back until Sunderland

Doing coach scouting at local cafe

Yeah, I don’t think it happens often, but I remember a couple of occasions under Ange. In the away loss to Fulham last season there were 4 sub stoppages and I am pretty certain none were concussion subs

If injury rumours are true, maybe Spurs go with something like this? (Subs are guesses at who comes off for whom, not necessarily those positions). Tottenham have beaten City with worse XI's but can't see it happening today

Hit them with sage mode

Surely not

In my imagination, you use Danso and Palhinha as bounce pass screeners trying to stop opp. getting a high press on the CBs. 2nd phase Danso and Romero rotate so he can operate centrally. Anyway, this is just me mulling over thoughts. These are not solutions or how I think football should be played

I see it as a choice between these set ups. Bissouma is likely to be the next person back and available or Sarr depending on AFCON result. Maybe Udogie soon after. Makes signing 1 left-back a more efficient signing than another attacker

Could be Gray at LB but based on previous games this season, I think Spurs are lining up like this

I am out of reach from Tottenham's ability to disappoint

Sleepy old man 🤍

Spurs Not Think - is a pretty apt summary my takes

In my draft I begrudgingly do not have Odobert on the CL list. I think the only way of doing this is suggesting to the U21 aged players that they will be the future and they will get domestic minutes this year to make up for it. 3 CB & 3 FB is a nervy prospect though

With the Wycombe team confirmed, I would guess the Luton lineup would look something like this. Imagine a few more U21 players will fill out the rotation (King, Russell-Denny maybe). Slightly surprised Yang isn't in the Wycombe squad

There's 2 things that concern me about Palhinha links. First is the complete absence of progressive anything. I appreciate Fulham were not a high possession team that year, but even while the defensive numbers are very impressive, I don't think you want that much of a trade-off in terms of output...

Whenever Richy is not in the squad, all of the Spurs fans should be asking 'Where's Richy?'

Should be a nice 45min split for the majority of players here. Will be interesting to see it develop as pre-season goes on

Managed a spot at the back of The Beehive COYSPLEASE

Through fear of having my laptop turned away by security, I have arrived in my seat more than half an hour early. I usually get here about 30 seconds before kickoff

Daffy heard the news about potentially no new signings in January

Had this and a few other similar documents going for a while. I try to be kind with the categorisations. NB: Richarlison and Bissouma are good profile fits, but have struggled with availability and form I think you need to assume that a good profile 6 and winger are not available in January
