Xhaka-Tor midfield should start again. They rocked them last season in the 4-2. From there I'm guessing ceballos in front of them and hopefully the obvious three up front. It will be such a great team to watch. Here's hoping.

I'm not as gung ho as much of you are but I'm optimistic

Our problem is that we that we can't win games against the big teams and so the best way into the top 4 is by winning against the smaller teams. So far this season we have beaten the two small teams we've played. Let's beat the third on Sunday.

Looks reasonable. I would make one change. I would replace Willock with Erikson. Right back is a weakness but without Bellerin, I’m not excited by either KWP or AMN.

The media would kill you for Auba over Kane but that is just driven by being insular.

Totally forgotten about Eriksen to be fair, agree with you.

No other options other than Pepe there, Spurs dont play a proper RW. Understand what Klaus is saying about Ceballos but I could easily put anyone else and it wouldn't change anything. Both the clubs other fit CM options are flawed one way or another

Qwiss

Are you only picking fit players? Surely Bellerin and Tierney would be the full backs otherwise?

Claudius

Just went for fit players, sir.

jones

Cant pick Ndombele then

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Might be a toss-up between Tierney and Rose - let's see how our new boy does. I'm extremely excited about what he might bring though.

Mirth

If he's not better than Danny Rose then what really is the point. Rose is quite average.

Clrnc

Yeah I went for the fit players only. Didn't know Ndombele is injured.

Honestly speaking, defenders aside the one and only sure player that will start for us from Spurs is Son. Everyone else give and take is more or less not better than ours by a huge margin.

Eriksen is better than Cebellos by a distance until the later proves something. Apart from that yeah the rest of their teams not that great apart from Kane and he's clearly below Auba.

Ffs keep forgetting Eriksen is still their player. I was expecting him to move before the end of the window.

I expect Poch to move away by end of the season if they are shite too.

Mirth

I'm surprised United never went in for Eriksen.

Qwiss

You'd have to wonder whats stopping not just United but everyone else from going in for Eriksen too.

Captain

Tottenham probably asking big money and he is free next summer.

Exactly. Original figure was 100m. Why would you want to deal with Levy when he’s free next summer?

goon

The worst thing for Spurs is Poch has been reluctant to use Eriksen with his future up in the air so you have to question the value of keeping him for his final year.

Bosscielny

If Eriksen is still there after the window closes, which looks inevitable, then i’d imagine he’ll be back starting games in no time.

Claudius

Spurs will love that we have the 9th best Champions League coefficient. Above them and Pool. Spurs are 17th.

If he's still there when the window is closed I think he'll play every match. He isn't reluctant to use Alderweireld.
