There was a stat earlier about Spurs win % being low when Son and Kane have missed games. I thought to myself, you just know these f**king stats come back to bite us on the ass.

The only game they've both missed this season (not counting domestic cups) is the midweek game against Leipzig. So I suppose that's technically true...

Arrizabalaga

Azpiliceuta, Rudiger, Tomori

James, Kovacic, Barkley, Alonso

Willian, Giroud, Mount

Stunningly enough, since Son joined Tottenham in 2015, there have only been five league/European games in which neither Kane nor Son have featured for Tottenham:

 

2019/20

CL: RB Leipzig (H) L 0-1

2018/19

PL: Fulham (H) W 2-1

PL: Everton (H) D 2-2

CL: Ajax (H) L 0-1

2015/16

EL: Fiorentina (H) W 3-0

 

So if we are to extrapolate from this meaningless collection of data - they've won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2. Win rate 40%.

Pochettino's win rate across his time at Tottenham was 54.3%, José's is currently 52.4%. So yes, I suppose technically the stat is true.

Easiest win of the season today.

Now thats one wierd team. 

Christmas Tree line up then I guess ?

3-4-2-1 ?

Width from James and Alonso ... Barkley and Mount joining Giroud in the box for knock downs from crosses ..... interesting !

Looks like a back 3 ? 

From a purely superstitious perspective I would have been tempted not to start Caballero today.

Glad to see a back three, Alonso, Giroud, Abraham/RLC on the bench.

But:

No Willian???

Tomori banished from the squad?

Seeing RLC on the bench is great news, not sure why Barkley is playing though, and I'm still not fussed on the Christensen selection. Besides that I'm fine with the team setup. 

Last chance for Giroud to prove himself as a starter.

If we lose it will be the most disappointing game of the season. 

RLC and Abrahams on the bench...plus Gilmour...happy that that 

What the f**k is lampard smoking. starting caballero again. Everyone and their mother knows that kepa is a better goalie than caballero.. i think this would have been a good game to ease kepa back in with Munich coming up in midweek. Not optimistic about our upcoming matches

The only good decision I see is Giroud. Willy, Barkley and no Willian...have a bad feeling about this line-up.

It's more of a statement than anything, I don't trust Caballero at the back either but Kepa has been crap this season. 

Looks like Tottenham are set up similarly (although looking more like a 5-4-1 than ours):

--------------------------------------Lloris

Tanganga-----Sanchez----Alderweireld----Vertonghen-----Davies

------Bergwijn-----------Winks-------Ndombelé------Lo Celso

 

------------------------------------Moura

 

Bit Of A Strange One, However, Hopefully James And Giroud Can Find Giroud Quite Often With Crosses In From The Wing

Let’s see

Bats not even on the bench, I hadn't expected that. So Abraham to lead our attack when Giroud runs out of steam in the 20th minute. And no Willian either.

New name this season in that Loftus-Cheek fella

Making such statements is just not professional.
