[Albion] Team for Spurs 10/02/24

[SeagullsoverLondon]

With Pedro confirmed out, and Mitoma back, how do you see the changes for Spurs as against the side that beat Palace.

Keep as settled a side as possible?

For me, Bart starts again
Pervis in for Igor (or is that harsh?)
Switch Lamptey to right wing, with Mitoma back on the left
Facu behind Danny?

With Fati and Fergie to come on as necessary.

If Mitoma isn't fit enough to start, I worry about playing Fergie and Danny together, it never seems to work.

 

[El Turi]

That looks good to me. Could play Fati behind Webeck but I’m not sure if he’s fit enough to start yet.

 

[dazzer6666]

Yep, if Mitoma starts, Pervis at LB for me I think :

Bart
Hinsh Dunk JPVH Pervis
Lamptey Gross Gilmour Mitoma
Buonanotte
Welbz

 

[Mackenzie]

Spurs play one way, very high press, so we need speedy players to run into the huge gap they leave behind them. I’m sure the lads are looking forward to this one, they’re the perfect opponents for our style.

Ansu Fati, Ferguson, Baleba and Igor as good options to come on from the bench.

​

I think we are also the perfect opponents for their style. Should be loads of goals

Think Fergie should start for this reason, he thrives on space. Would have both him and Welbeck in from the start

 

[Bob!]

Mitoma hasn't played more than about 20 minutes in a game yet.

I don't see him starting tomorrow.

 

[portslade seagull]

Who takes the penalties in his absence ... Gross ??

I think both these comments highlight one of the biggest dilemmas re Fergie - I'd tend to agree with SeagullsoverLondon on this......

and VAR checks

I really hope not! Whilst loving nearly everything about Pascal, I strongly dislike him taking penalties.

I’ve got a feeling Hinshelwood. Or more likely Pervis if he plays.

To be fair, without Joao Pedro we’re unlikely to get any anyway as he wins nearly all of them!

If Milner's on the pitch, I'd want him to take it: he's got a fantastic record

That is true but he's out for weeks too.

 

[Machiavelli]

That is a very very good point. Fergie might be another option. He's definitely scored (at least) one in a shoot-out(s).

 

[Hugo Rune]

Is it time for a back 4 again?
