Fixtures: Away to Leyton Orient. Saturday 17th July 3pm. Away to Colchester United. Wednesday 21st July 7.45pm. Away to MK Dons. Wednesday 28th July 7.45pm. Away to Chelsea. Wednesday 4th August 7.45pm. Home to Arsenal. Sunday 8th August 2pm. The first three games are free on Spurs TV, but the details are yet to be confirmed. Some people had some issues with it last time. Hopefully this will be a smoother experience. Pre-season training continues: I wonder if there'll be an opportunity for Parrott or Scarlett to push their way into contention for a squad place? I suspect they'll only have limited chances and we'll start a winger or two up front, unfortunately.
I've just checked and the log-ins from last season still work, so you don't need to bother registering again if you've already done it.
When you realise our formation this afternoon will likely be something along these lines... please log in to view this image
Given the players available to him, I'll be surprised if we don't play with wingers. Maybe 4-2-3-1? Parrott and Scarlett both starting seems incredibly unlikely, too. New manager though, so who knows?
Another way to look at it, these players won't be featuring today Goalkeepers Hugo Lloris Josh Oluwayemi* Defenders Toby Alderweireld Davinson Sanchez Joe Rodon Ben Davies Midfielders Pierre Emile Hojbjerg Giovani Lo Celso Moussa Sissoko Forwards Harry Kane
Looks like Skipp and Tanganga aren’t quite ready yet. Excited to get a look at John, Paskotsi and it’s always fun to see Scarlett. Anyone know who Cesay is, looks like he’s playing RB.
Good luck working out the formation from that lineup, because based on where they play it looks like we're playing 3331 Hart Carter Vickers Dier Paskotsi Cesay Winks John Lucas Dele Bergwijn Scarlett
John and Cesay playing as wingbacks, maybe? Looking at the whole squad for today, there seems to be a load of midfielders and no fullbacks at all.
White played LB for the U18s a couple of seasons ago, Eyoma plays both CB and RB while Lyons-Foster started as a RB before moving into CB Central midfield is likely to resemble the autobahn in this one, isn't it?
Link to Spurs TV for the game already being extremely slow/not working FYI all. They've had similar issues in the past, I think.
https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/orientspurs170721/ The direct link worked for me, for some reason. Couldn't get on any other way.
I think it's a 4-2-3-1 with John in the midfield and Paskotski and Cesay playing fullback. We don't have Anthony Gardner playing left-back, for anyone watching without sound.
