Tottenham Hotspur (A) 29.12.2018

[Lycan]

Saiss and Moutinho being rested I'd have thought?

Yep, just like Neves was rested vs Fulham. Makes sense.

 

[Norman Deeley]

Wouldn't it have helped if Donk had, well, played a bit of first team football over the last few games? Oh well. 4-1 to Wolves

 

[AndyWolves]

I'm hoping donk and Neves works well in midfield. Donk being a bit more defensive and playing in a similar fashion to Saiss

 

[Parkins left foot]

He has had a reasonable amount of time to get used to our pattern of play on the training ground so will hopefully have fully learned his role within the team & he has had International experience.

If its not working then there is suitable cover on the bench with Saiss or Moutinho

 

[Alan]

Infinitely.

I can see some logic to that selection, especially with Cav in there. Bit unfortunate for MGW, but I am sure he stands a chance of an appearance later. The one that slightly confounds me is leaving out Moutinho.

Rest required, I would guess.

 

[Alan]

Very much Cav left, Raúl center, Adama right. We'll see how fixed that is.

 

[Alan]

Dendoncker's time may already be up. Looks like a knee injury.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

How is that a foul against Dendoncker?!

 

[Local Wolf]

Don't look good does it

 

[Alan]

Looks like he's going to try to run it off.

 

[The Bion]

How is that a foul against Dendoncker?!

Because Attwell

 

[Alan]

Spurs' ball movement is really something.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Dendoncker's time may already be up. Looks like a knee injury.

Given as a FK for Spurs - Burrows & Thompson really not sure that that was a correct decision as Dendoncker got there first & made the pass (then again it is Attwell)

 

[t3ch]

me turning on the TV: oh it/s donk! he's starting?! yay!
*instantly falls over due to knee*

Nearly shades of old Razak.

 

[t3ch]

wtf backpass was that

 

[Alan]

Raúl with an interesting pass back, puts us under pressure and Spurs have a very dangerous FK.

 

[Alan]

Better beard: Patricio or Jack Price?

 

[Parkins left foot]

Better beard: Patricio or Jack Price?

Jack Price every day - better player goes the other way

 

[Alan]

Penalty! Not given but at first blush that is surely a handball??
