Interesting to see Bentableb tonight

 

[Yid-ol]

NDombele not even a sub

Just in case no one else has replied he is injured.

MOTM display against Arsenal??

He so did haha... i thought he played well but maybe not MOTM... but today i genuinely hope he does well and scores... i like the guy

 

[mark87]

Surprised it's the same team from Sunday, thought there would be a bit of rotation for rest etc. Fair play to Serge for wanting to play.

 

[VancouverSpur]

Would have like to see a little bit of rotation to freshen things up but also understand keeping the same team after the NLD

 

[Mr Pink]

Fair play to Serge, that's commitment alright.

 

[Grapo2001]

Massive respect to Aurier and hope he has a MOTM display like he had against Le Arse

Hmmmmm

 

[JCRD]

BT.

My bad - i just tried to spare people the traumatic viewing thats all

 

[freeeki]

Hope Aurier is in the right headspace to play, understandable if he has a howler of a game, I would blame Mourinho for playing him if so

Course you fucking would.

Because Serge definitely won’t have had any say in the decision whatsoever, despite the club offering him compassionate leave.

Tool.

 

[Guernman]

One has to respect Aurier's decision to play. My thoughts go to him and his family.

I would rather he not be our first choice RB under any circumstances, but there is no reason to think the terrible events of this week are going to make him any more rash on the pitch than he already is.

He may well be less focused, but it is a difficult situation for the club, and it would be very harsh to drop him if he wants to play and we all know he would have been starting under normal circumstances.

Hopefully he can have a good game

 

[Nicki78]

Am I right in saying we haven't won this season wearing that light blue kit?

I think i saw a stat somewhere detailing all the games where we had worn that kit - pretty sure we haven't won any.

 

[Grapo2001]

With Aurier it's a damned if you do damned if you don't scenario for Mourinho. As soon as Aurier says he is good to play and wants to play the Mourinho has no option.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Hope Aurier is in the right headspace to play, understandable if he has a howler of a game, I would blame Mourinho for playing him if so

Of course you would.

All Mourinho can go by is his conversations with the player and if the player assures him he's OK and wants to play then he picks him.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Sorry but if this was Harry Kane playing through tragedy you’d be praising him and that would be it.

Instead because it’s Aurier you’ve got the same agenda driven pricks spouting their abhorrent shit. Absolute pricks.

[Phomesy]

That's pretty amazing from Serge. Just hope he's getting all the support he needs.

COYS!

 

[DiamondLites]

Shocked and disappointed Aurier is playing, I went through what he’s going through a couple of years ago and I couldn’t function properly for months, and I couldn’t imagine not being around my family especially in the immediate aftermath. I know everyone is different, I just hope he hasn’t been coerced into playing

Really hope the same team that played almost all the game a few days ago had enough in the tank to get a result

 

[Phomesy]

Just in case no one else has replied he is injured.

"Injured"

 

[Cochise]

CHARLIE'S PREDICTION
It was a great result for Tottenham, I am not denying them that. They may not have deserved it, but it was certainly not a masterclass. Arsenal got slack and let them off the hook.

Someone's a little salty

 

[AberdeenYid]

Can’t believe any of that Newcastle team would get into ours. Maybe ASM would get into our squad, but that’s it. So should be an easy win. Right? RIGHT?
