It was a campaign of misery, division and hostility on Lilywhite half of northern London, but nights like Thursday are capable of vacuuming you in Tottenham’s cause.
Victory 3-0 inspired by the Academy over Elfsborg was exactly what Ange Postecoglou needed after the second Nadir.
The triumph of a good feeling on Thursday means that the Spurs will avoid playing two additional games in February and have progressed straight in Europa League 16. Circle. Their success at CUP competitions brought time to undermine managers, and their biggest game in the season arrives next Thursday with a place in the Carabao Cup final.
However, Tottenham’s availability and need to pick up Premier league point means that Ange has no choice than to go as strongly as he can Brentford on Sunday. Here’s an initial line -up that he could choose in GTECH.
GK: Antonin Kinsky – Brandon Austin is still releasing well, but Kinsky, despite heavy several excursions, will expect to return to the Premier League XI on Sunday.
RB: Santa Spence – Will Pedro Porro finally take a break? The Spaniard desperately needs one, and the impressive Spence could offer him a break on the assumption that he had recovered from knocking.
CB: Archie Gray – Rad Dragusin is care of fresh injury After withdrawing on Thursday, but postecoglou can at least turn to Gray to secure a blanket with spurss that are so much healthier in defense,
CB: Micky van de ven – It was only Elfsborg, but Van de Ven made a significant difference on Thursday and his return is a big boost to fight the Lilywhites. Here they may not get 90 minutes below the belt, but a solid hour ahead of the trip to Anfield.
LB: Ben Davies – If Spence starts with the right and gray blankets for Dragusin, Davies, who offered energy from the left back in the week, is ready to nod again in West London.
Cm: Yves bissouuma – The absence of Bissouume injury was short and played the second half against the Elfsborg, which is probably in preparation for a trip across London. Brentford’s stellar work in transition will put it for the test.
Cm: Rodrigo Bentancur – When Bissouuma was back, Ange could give Bentancur to run out as number eight. Although capable of midfielder, his best work tends to arrive in the box.
Cm: Lucas Bergvall – The traveling Swedish contingent in the week was under the skin in the middle of a rather chaotic screen that manifested the best and worst of Bergvall. Still, he stood in difficult times from late and will probably continue in Ange’s engine room.
RW: Dejan Kulusevski – Postecoglou could keep Mikey Moore on the right and move Kulusevski to the middle, but the Spurs chief is more likely to return the Swede to his initial XI. Maybe Spence will allow Kulusevsky to turn on the field.
ST: Richarlison – Dane Scarlett is the first Tottenham The goal rolled the ball on Thursday, and the 20-year-old could appear as a handsome option from the bench during the second half of the season, after returning from the disappointing loan of Oxford United. Richarlison, however, is likely to start the top on Sunday.
LW: Son Heung -min – The son was bright as he watched for months in the middle of the week, and Ange decided to preserve his captain for Sunday, taking him at halftime.
