Thats a bit extreme cup of water at most.
I think we can go fairly strong in this with Plymouth at the weekend giving a good chance to rotate more, before going strong again next week at Everton.
Spurs are a weird one. They are having a terrible season, but they just got a win at the weekend and they have their noses in front after the first leg.
Hopefully a commanding display puts us in the final. Iāve been a bit meh about the League Cup, and it is definitely the fourth priority. That said, itās a semi final, Wembley is in sight, and we can shuffle the pack at the weekend.
Hopefully we are up for it. The game at their place felt a bit lackadaisical.

Iām predicting weāll level it up within 10mins, then itās game on for 80.
Should have enough to reach Wembley again.

Well, it was the fourth priority at the start of the season. Now, we are just two wins away from lifting that pot again, so I guess it can be promoted to third place in terms of priorities.

It actually said 09:00 on the club website, but 09:30 on the link. What time do Spoons do breakfast until?

Points from presser:
- Trent out for Thursday. May be back for Sunday (Iām guessing the derby if anything).
- No reason for signings - no major injuries and no chances in market.
- VAR announcements at the stadium may not be a good idea for refs as they are under pressure from home fans.
- It is an unusually large gap between home and away games in league cup. Now facing some different (Spurs) players.
- He has given feedback to Bradley following PSV game.
- Slot has decided which keeper will be starting but didnāt disclose this.
- Queried why English games donāt allow the full squad to be named on the bench.

That would be an interesting move. I wonder sometimes if JĆ¼rgen would have had a lot of fun with that.
EDIT:
Seems like the Eredivisie have permitted 12 players on the bench since 2016?

Ange confirms that vdVen is out for this one.
Be the same bleating we had when they mentioned 5 subs, irony is and itās probably a one off but last season had 3 teams competing and saw Villa come through and this season has 2-3 with a number of clubs also coming through.
Anyhow every player bar one available and it sounds like he will be there for the derby.
2 AM kick-off. Not sure if the will be on TV either.
