[Albion] Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Surprised by Lallana starting to be honest. I know we don’t have that many options; but the guy can barely run at this point.

Maybe he’ll surprise us all today.

Yes, but he can deliver a lovely ball through to an on-running Mitoma, Welbz or Goodnight...

which minute in the first half are we expecting Lallana to be off injured

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Gross would seem the most likely but he's missed a fair few. I imagine Ferguson has got a good penalty on him but hasn't scored in ages so maybe confidence is low. Maybe Dunk? He always scores his in shootouts(although I can only think of two shoot outs he's been in so always is maybe overkill).

He scored against Man Utd, Charlton, Millwall and Newport. Didn’t take ones against Leicester and Wrexham.

I’m surprised, his legs have clearly gone

Great to have so much pace in midfield .........oh.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Ray of hope : Son, Bissouma, Hojbjerg not in Spurs' starting XI.

Hope Lallana lasts until half-time, but not overly hopeful.

 

[chickens]

My only concern with the line-up is whether Mitoma is fit enough to be starting. Hopefully so. Come on lads, through to the next round, etc. etc.

 

[Triggaaar]

I'll be fairly impressed if we even make a game of this

lallana has had a great career but in the spurs match in December when he came on I said to my lad “oh god. He is injured again. Look at him running” but having watched him subsequently that is how he now runs. He looks injured. I am amazed he is playing vs the spurs roadrunners. I hope I am wrong but it worries me.

 

[Bodian]

No Igor in the squad?

Another injury??

 

[Berty23]

Another injury??

Well we are due some. Been too lucky with injuries this season.

Chances of lamptey and Adam l both being on at half time?

 

[Justice]

Steele, and people think RDZ is off to Liverpool

 

[London Irish]

Lallana will be fine playing the little triangles in midfield if we get our passing game going, Fati on later. Coming on late trying to chase down keepers he doesn’t look great but that won’t be his job today thankfully

Probably better for Lallana to start the game than come on and try to get up to the pace of the game. With Spurs' high line and the pace of Mitoma, hopefully he'll be able to put some killer passes through. Either way, it's a very tough game today with Spurs' having a full strength squad available.

 

[Bodian]

He could be going for a 3:4:3 with Lamptey on for Mitoma - leaving Dunk, Hecke and Perv at the back and Lallana out wide on the right?

Not even on the bench though?

 

[amexer]

I suppose Lalana will play no 10 role and sit behind Welbeck and I mean sit

They are all avaible on the bench. And honestly- Hojberg not playing is BAD rather than good news. He’s not playing because the three that are, are all very comfortably better.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I never have a good feeling when Gross, The Lana and Welbz all start together.

I shouldn’t worry. It won’t last long.
