Tottenham (H) 27/12 Build up

[The Saturday Boy]

Where’s Boly?

 

[Parkins left foot]

Just looking at the number of teenagers on our bench now - the average age only gets over 21 as Ruddy is there.

 

[Pompey Wolf]

Doc actually starting a Prem game for them then. Jose you little devil.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not many game changers on our bench are there...

Depends on the game. Ki-Jana Hoever, could be

Need a triple word space for that & a twelve letter tiles with only 7 available needs a weird configuration already down on the board

Typical pint half empty Wolves fan...

Saiss intimated Boly and Dendonker are injured

I read that as he intimidated them into being injured

Luckily he's 'shit'

 

[YoungWolf]

Boly clearly injured then.

Surprised by pessimism at the team selection? Agree with TT, can't be passive, be brave, be aggressive, played quickly! Fingers crossed Traore can have a decent day running at Reguilon and Davies

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I'd have kept Traore on bench - worked against Chelsea.

 

[Tredman]

Traore on the left please.

 

[jd1981]

Can safely say this won’t end 0-0

 

[YoungWolf]

Traore on the left please.

Good god no thank you

 

[Parkins left foot]

Good god no thank you

Though Traore against Doc would be an interesting match up though having said that Neto is not slow either

 

[Johnny75]

I wouldn't have played Traore as I don't think he gives us anything without a powerful CF.

I'd like to have seen Vitinha behind the front 3 to give the terminally slow Hojbjerg a problem.

But we have to go for this now. No excuses.

 

[YoungWolf]

Traore on the left just isn't a great idea for me. Nuno has tried it a few times in games and had little success. The best I can say I've seen him play there was this time last year at Anfield for 45 minutes and it wasn't amazing, just gave Trent a few scares

 

[The Bear]

Same front 4 as against Arsenal. Let's hope they combine as well as in that game.

 

[slink]

So much you could say about the team selection, looks brave especially if we attack but could look stupid and play into Spurs hands as they love to counter. Personally would have Hoever in on the right of a 3 and ask Spurs to break us down and counter but that's not saying this can't work. Think we could struggle if Kane and N'Dombele get in and around Neves and Moutinho but we could quite easily get in behind the full backs especially Neto against Doc.

 

[Aikiwolf]

I'm worried about how we will deal with the counter attack and I'm also worried about chopping and changing formations at the drop or a hat.

I'm hoping Nuno is smarter than I and the team is ready for it!
