Starting 11 for 1st Premiership game of season?

[Joey66]

maybe we should just declare now based on most peoples negativity.

Our managers just stated Jags going nowhere , and the team is only 70 percent match fit for Saturday!

 

[StuBarlow]

3-0 Spurs minimum.

 

[Seathestars]

Yes we have 11 tools no doubt about that, and a few more on the board no doubt about that either!
Has the club ever disclosed the millions in compensation for our Manager, the backroom staff, and Walsh?
How many Millions spent more than on players so far that's for sure!!
Selling Stones, started a transfer stampede looks like a desperate one to me only Williams se urged before our first game, and he's not available ah well it can only get better Spurs usually do well at Goodison over the last two seasons any rate!

So if you'd have just taken over a club that was in meltdown where would you have started.
Would you have grabbed the first Manager you get your hands on and give him your wallet and tell him to do as he pleases.

Or would you take a pragmatic approach to make sure it was done right.

Both ways may well work, but I know which way I'd choose.

 

[BlueToff]

Will see on Saturday at 2 what he's planning then mate, until then we havent really got a billy igloo

yep! hopefully Coleman and Rom overcome their respective knocks as well.

Coleman must've picked something up late on vs Espanyol, or in training.

 

[BlueToff]

3-0 Spurs minimum.

This is the side that drew 1-1 at Goodison in January (3 days after we'd lost 4-3 at home to Stoke)

Howard

Coleman Stones Mori Baines

Barkley Barry Cleverley

Lennon Lukaku Kone

With a certain R.Martinez as manager

 

[Joey66]

Spurs are going to absolutely hump us.

Did anyone see them spanking Inter 6-1 the other day in one of their friendly tournaments?

We're going to get battered all over the place, we've not got a squad that can cope with teams like that at the mo

so a draw will be a good result then?

With a certain R.Martinez as manager

Yep. People need to get a grip

Stekelenburg

Coleman Jagielka Mori Baines

Barkley Barry Gueye

Deulofeu Lukaku Mirallas

2-1 Everton

We are weeks behind in fitness, transfers and settling in for new staff. Can't see a good result if honest.

 

[BlueToff]

Btw, Spurs have only played three pre-season games - they lost two and hammered Inter.

They lost 5-1 to Newcastle in their last competitive game.

Yeh, 'side's like that'

Koemans been in place for a good while now this Walsh signing from Leicester how much did that cost us?
It's as if Koemans been delberlity been made to wait untill we got a DOF!

 

[Connor]

We're going to be fine lads.

Win, lose or draw. Marathon, not a sprint.

 

[BlueToff]

Yep. People need to get a grip

Stekelenburg

Coleman Jagielka Mori Baines

Barkley Barry Gueye

Deulofeu Lukaku Mirallas

2-1 Everton

If Rom and Coleman do pull through that's how we'll line up.

Hopefully they both overcome their knocks - Koeman clearly stated they were doubtful but that doesn't mean they're out

 

[Thomasc]

Same old tired side as last season apart from Williams, meh!

How are we weeks behind in fitness ?.......did we have longer holidays or something......

Yeah losing the first home game doesn't matter does it? What's another defeat after all the recent ones?

“The squad will be 100 per cent in two or three weeks. But if I compare the physical state of the players in numbers here it is 70 per cent and at Southampton it was 100 per cent." - Koeman
