Don't think we have enough goals in this current side so therefore I think we'll struggle.Kane will beat Blind all day long in the air, hope smalling is on the ball.
We should have enough to beat Spurs.

He was really bad in the loss to PSG though. Maybe that changed LVG's mind.
Both really good points. I do like Smalling in the team and hope he gets a run in the team now.Honestly think it's because he wanted a strong leader in the "B team," pretty sure Smalling is a future captain in LvG's eyes.
Think he may be off on loan, which may explain the omission.januzaj even not making the bench. not a good sign
I had the exact same prediction as you (you are a wise man!), including reserves.God damn it Ladyman, had Romero but changed it.. 10/11, now looking forward to see Jones, Herrera, and Pereira off the bench!
Because that was what the ever so reliable Ian Ladyman reported...Why did people predict Romero would not start?
Did you think we'd go with Johnstone?
Just realised Wilson not there either. To pick Chica over him when he isn't fully fit? Maybe him and Januzaj out on loan.No Wilson, Januzaj or Jones on the bench Good to see both Pereira and Chicharito there though. Strong line-up, but I was hoping to see Herrera somewhere in that line-up, but ok.
Their usual lineup, Dier alongside Bentaleb with Dembele slightly ahead. Diers being used as a DM this pre season.How will that Spurs team line up?
YepIan Ladyman ffs
Because Johnstone played a lot in preseason.Why did people predict Romero would not start?
Did you think we'd go with Johnstone?
No I didn't....Romero has much more experience at the higher level, so it kind of makes sense.Why did people predict Romero would not start?
Did you think we'd go with Johnstone?
It makes you a rival. I want Falcao to be absolutely shite for your lot and I actually like Falcao as a person.Does it make me a total bastard that I really want your goalie to be shite?
I don't even want Spurs to win!
Huh?Januzaj not even on the bench, that's not surprising but at the same time it also isn't.
Why? I have seen him in every Argentina game at last year's World Cup and this years Copa America and I don't remember him doing anything wrong. They were able to reach the final in both of those competitions with him in goal so I see no reason why we can't also win games with him in goal.Romero in goal will be interesting. Big risk, IMO.
Dont let the nomenclature blind you to what players are capable of.2 defensive midfielders at home to Spurs.
Hmmmm.
Anyway looking forward to kick off.
A lot of talk about loaning him out, that could be why.Januzaj not even on the bench, that's not surprising but at the same time it also isn't.
