ulvhedin 526 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Some tough choices for Tuchel: all five CBs are deserving a start, Chalobah is last in hierarchy so, Rudi is locked on as LCB, so there will be 2 of Silva, AC and Azpi. Wouldn't surprise me if we will see Rudi - Silva - AC and Azpi as RWB Alonso will propably start as Chilly and Chilly will get a start vs Villa Jorginho-Kovacic are pretty match sure unless Kante makes some miracolous recovery Lukaku will start and... Havertz, Ziyech and Mount are poor/average so far, Pulisic injured, Werner is not trusted.. I have no idea who will be the 2 to start here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will play. OhForAGreavsie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Would go with: Mendy Azpi-Silva-Rüdi Jorginho-Kova Mount-Havertz Lukaku Kepa, Chalobah, AC, Saul, Benchy, CHO and Werner should start against Villa so we can rest the overly used and older players like Rüdi, Thiago, Azpi, Mount, Jorginho or Lukaku.

I can almost guarantee this team would be beaten. A backs to the wall draw is the best we could hope for with that line up.

However, Spurs have scored 3 goals in 4 matches this season, I think our DEF will be fine. What I'm more worried about we might struggle with scoring, I can see the match ending 0-0.

Yep that's my only worry. I am mean that will most likely be the team, but there isn't enough pace in that team. Werner for instance last season was a brilliant outlet for the game and won us the penalty and his pace caused problems. We defo are the better team, but I feel if we go with the expected team, it may be quite difficult to break down Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was the starting nine that had me worried about our chances. 🙂 Edited September 15, 2021 by OhForAGreavsie bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last game with Ziyech and James was same because they are also slow. Werner, Pulisic and CHO are our fastest players, one should always be there and Chilwell is faster than Alonso. kellzfresh and Magic Lamps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Chiwell is ready and I doubt Spurs will park the bus at home. Nuno will be in for a wide awakening if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 I looked at what time the Tottenham Europa game was today. Forgot they are in the Europa Conference. Play Rennes today at 17:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had 2 weeks of preseason + the internaitonal breakand sitting out 4 matchdays. He must have spent his whole holiday bedridden to still not be matchfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilwell is known for having a mental illness so maybe something happened in his personal life. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guddy69 174 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) We were creating 6 or 7 clear chances a game before we bought Lukaku, now only one or two per game and our passing isn't as sharp anymore. Let's hope we get back to normal soon. If only Lukaku could get all those chances.. :0) Edited September 16, 2021 by guddy69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 Tottenham got a draw with Rennes 2-2 and one of the Spuds goals was a Rennes own goal. Harry Kane got yanked in the 54' when they needed a goal. I hope he is still disgruntled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one will always prefer the latter. bigbluewillie and Muzchap 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner moves a lot more, creates more chances on his own, opens up teams with his runs. i don’t care as Long as we are winning matches but it is good to still have a different option from the bench and for games we will be playing more on the counter laura90 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
