Djenepo has already gone to the Afcon Cup so also out ! Tella now available. Stephens and Lyanco out ! Maybe Perraud will get a spin out to protect KWP if he is on the tightrope. Anthony Taylor’s on the whistle. And he can be a funny bugger in the middle - Martin Atkinson will be sat in the back of the Transit van in the north car park watching the TVs getting in Taylor’s ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Just in case anyone's not seen the club message, there will be covid checks at new perimeter barriers today. That will probably mean massive queues, so go early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefizzy14 Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 It would be great to get back to back wins today im expecting that Ralph will make a few changes to keep things fresh with the quick turnaround in games. 2-1 to us - Stuart Armstrong and Broja to score COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So make him miss a game, to stop him missing another game? Isn't that self defeating? 🤔 Main reason not to play him would be if he was struggling to be fit for today's game given he played 2 days ago.

Lighthouse Posted 28 December, 2021 Author Share Posted 28 December, 2021 I sometimes wonder if players are ever instructed to pick up tactical bookings at the end of games, to ensure a suspension is served at the optimal time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather him play and be more potent against Newcastle, than him being nullified and possibly wound up by a bunch of players many of whom have known him for years and more likely to apply the dark arts to gain an advantage.

Wouldn't be surprised if the league allow them some leeway and give them the best chance to stay up as possible. Much better for the Premier League to have them rather than Burnley or Watford next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Initial look and I’m thinking wtf, where is Che Adams or have I missed something.

I only hope this is to put him in the shop window for somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 I very rareful criticise the lineup because I understand that you need different systems and personnel throughout the season, but that is just ridiculous.

That seems mental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 (edited) It's one thing if we lose by fighting and giving it a good go against spurs but if we roll over and get hammered then really what is the point of a lineup like this? If this game goes how I think it may do then we might as well just play the youth team and go for the next one and yes I'm mightily pissed because I'm watching this game with my spurs supporting brother in law.

TWar Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Looks like a 352 with Valery at RCB like we saw preseason. Kwp and Perraud at wing back, long and Arma up top. Not holding out much hope for this one, feels like we sacked it off for the Newcastle game. Will reserve judgement on how clever that is until after that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Obviously an awful team but needs must. Broja's only just come back from injury and he took a couple of knocks on Sunday.

JRM Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Line up looks awful, assume same as Chelsea away in the cup with Valery as one of the back 5, Son and Kane will carve through that with ease. Long up front just makes me laugh. We'll really miss Romeu in the middle. Just hope we can hold out until HT and make some changes. 0-3 prediction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted 28 December, 2021 Share Posted 28 December, 2021 Looks like 5 at the back with Valery and 2 attacking full backs. Expect Armstrong to be a 3rd central midfielder so we compete there. I’ve no issues with this until I see a forward 2 of Long and Armstrong. Absolutely no need to play 2 up front here if he thinks Broja needs a rest and Adams not ready - just play another attacking midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
