van de Ven to have a picnic in our box.

No worries we will put Enzo on him, you know it does not make sense.

CFC win for me, think we still have the hoodoo in the league.

Would love the hoodoo to continue but I fear it could be pay-back time.

New coach, a number of new players and Frank is a much smarter cookie than Maresca. Pray we win this one but have a strong feeling we will lose and probably receive another red card in the process.

I can see us "out-perform" our "xRC" in this one ... and have two players sent off :-)

Wonder what minute Acheampong will be hooked off this time.

I wonder what's showing at the cinema this weekend 🤔

My house gutters need cleaning, I feel Saturday would be a good day to clean them.

Need help?

Looking forward to a Chelsea win this coming Saturday. That is of course Chelsea Women beating London City Lionesses.

Lose this and Maresca should be sacked on the spot.

our defence is atrocious

Spurs are pretty good at set pieces and throw ins. Especially Mikey VDV

They are not that good...

Worried about this one. Frank will have them set up to go after us all night with long balls into the box and exploit our weaknesses.

Agreed. Frank isn't stupid, as unlike our manager he adapts his tactics.

I am fully expecting a back 5 from Spurs. I'm also fully expecting an Enzo full 90 and disaster class.

Am thinking he most likely goes back to his big game midfield 3 of lavia, Enzo and caicedo.

Estevao dropped, neto and garnacho his wingers and Joao Pedro as the false 9.

Do have a suspicion he could go for George up top though.

I guarantee you he will pick his boyfriend to play midfield, it worked once so he hope it works again

Sanchez

James Forfana Chalobah Cucurella

Gusto Enzo Caicedo

Estevao Pedro Neto

I hope that isnt the team, i would play Garnacho on left and Pedro behind Guiu

Based on our recent performances, I don’t see anything than giving Spurs 3 points. Until these children start behaving and not picking up red cards, together with the inept fraud on the sideline being fired we will be lucky to finish mid table…….but even with that we could finish above Liverpool 😊😊

Pedro is either a striker or he isn't good enough for me. He's not mobile enough to play anywhere else, imo.
Guiu is a fine prospect, but it's not the game for him. Games like these are decided on small things, and younger players' errors qualify nicely as these small That is the best line up for this match specifically -- I'd only get Lavia in there if he's fit (for a change) instead of Gusto.

Sanchez, and any 2 CBs who are available atm (including Josh bc age) simply aren't good enough.

Sanchez

James Acheampong Hato

Gusto Caicedo Lavia Cucurella

Estevao Pedro Gittens

Hit em on the counter.

I was going to say, Please, No Gusto but looking at that line up, thinks that's pretty much the best we can put out right now.

But we all know the bald one will have other ideas.........................

I wouldn't put past Maresca to play Caicedo as RFB and James at midfield.

I dont mind where Reece James plays so long as he plays.

RB CB MID RW all good.
