Feels like they're turning into the 1990s Tottenham.

I think they are likely to go full strength because Frank can not afford to lose this one. I expect us to put out a weakened team. We do not have the squad to go deep in this.
Not our year again.

I agree with what your saying largely, other than I’m not sure we have a deep enough squad for much of a weakened team.

Bizot
Cash
Konsa
Lindelof
Mastsen
Bogarde
Tielemans
Beundia
Malen
Rogers
Sancho

1-2 (Watkins off the bench, Rogers)

My thoughts as well.

Rubbish draw, this.

When you consider all the other teams available in the Third Round draw.

Unai will prioritise the other two comps we're in over this one, rightly or wrongly.

2-1 to them.

[Demitri_C]

I think they will take this more seriously  than us. They will want to prove a point to the fans after paulinta and VDV argued with fans

Still dont know why VDV hasnt asked to more.he is too good for them

[eamonn]

We have a week after this before our next game. Puuuush!

[TaxDodger]

I'm guessing we won't want to risk Emi in this, so I reckon we'll see;

Bizot

Cash, Konsa, Lindeloff, Maatsen

Bogarde, Tielemans

Sancho, Buendia, Rogers

Malen

Torres was back on the bench last night so will come back in Id expect. Maybe with Lindelof next to him. Really can't afford for Cash to get injured so Garcia likely will be given a run at RB. To state the obvious but the squad needs strengthening asap.

[Dave]

Bizot
Garcia
Lindelof
Pau
Digne
Bogarde
Tielemans
Sancho
Buendia
Rogers
Malen

[Mister E]

Bizot
Garcia
Lindelof
Pau
Digne
Bogarde
Tielemans
Sancho
Buendia
Rogers
Malen

With Hemmings and Aloba to get some minutes; perhaps even Alysson as well.

[LeeB]

Can we not give the lad Jimoh-Aloba a start on the right? He's looked bloody handy the few times I've seen him.

[Brend'Watkins]

I’d be inclined to leave Konsa on the bench. He needs a rest. Pau and Lindelöf would be okay. Bogarde in for SJM as he needs a rest too. Somebody, anybody in for Sancho.

Yeah i see no harm in starting him for this either tbh
