Prematch - League Cup - Tottenham vs Liverpool 1st Leg Weds 8th Jan 8pm

Mental line up that. If you’re not even going to start Endo in a game like this to give Grav a modicum of rest then you may as well just sell him.

No Nunez also seems a mad shout given he’s banned for the Forest game anyway.

I guess the only rationale would be to hope that we pretty much put it to bed tonight and then can rest most of them for the Accrington game and then again for the second leg.

Spurs starting the goalkeeper they signed yesterday.

Bet this is going to be the best performance he’s going to have as a Spurs player :grimacing:

I don’t think it’s that mental bar Grav.

He hasn’t had enough time to really absorb the true nature of what it means to be Spursy yet.

I think this is exactly it.

I also expect a mixed lineup for our next CL match agains Lille (I think?) - we just need 1 more point to secure top spot overall (I think?)

Starting five of the same front six as started against United three day ago seems nuts to me.

The ball looks fine. I was expecting a 99p flyaway from the newsagents.

I think for old times sake, they should play with one of those orange Mitres made out of heavy, reinforced bakelite and sandpaper. None of these nice leather caseys for those wimps.

Just put it on my iPad at my desk. Paramount+ app for the win. Get in.

I am surprised by the strength of the line up. I don’t really understand why Endo and Nunez aren’t playing, and I would have also played a couple more kids.

This is way down the list of our priorities, but you would have to think Spurs will give it their all to get the final, as winning silverware could give Postecoglu a lifeline.

Our line up sort of has me wondering if there are any possible January deals in the pipeline? Probably not, but I can’t get my head around not seeing Endo or Nunez in the side.

Edit:
Gravenberch has become such an important player in that midfield that it seems misplaced to keep playing him. Does Slot know Zubimendi or Tchouameni are inbound in January? What is going on?!

Glad Jotas starting.

The watershed moment for leaking goals seemed to be Real Madrid, and Endrick injuring Konate coupled with Bradley pulling a hammy.

I’m hoping we start to tighten up again asap.
