Tanganga.

Welcome back the South Americans after isolation and all good again 👍

I can’t blame them for wanting to play for their country in the World Cup qualifiers, I’d want to do the same.

Tanganga is not that good at CB, and even if he plays there, it will mean playing the hopeless Doherty against Saha then. What a mess.

They disobeyed the club by going to a Red List Country. Obviously putting country before club.

In the meantime, they will miss vital games for Spurs, so no it really is not all good, and could and should have been avoided.

Wouldn’t Emerson play RB in that scenario?

Oh yeh forgot all about him. Has he had any minutes at the training ground. Will have to be thrown straight in at the deep end.

Pretty sure I read Roden should be fit for the weekend

All good in my eyes. Frustrating they miss games for us, but can't blame them for representing their country.

At least they didn't come back injured...

No chance any fine would stick, none at all.

FIFA have told the players if the are called up they have to go.

posted on 6/9/21

As MK said, if you’re called up you have to go or can be banned for club games.

Even if a player ‘retires’ from international duty they can still be forced to go if called up.

Roden joined up with the welsh squad so must be fit and ready

What is this Sandy? The Neil Warnock school of football management. I'm not sure telling a bunch of pros that they're disloyal by choosing to play for their countries, is a good idea. You'd have the undisputed record for the speed at which a manager can lose a dressing room. The school of hard knocks approach doesn't work anymore and I'm not sure telling a player he can't play for his country would ever work, in any era.

It's absurd.

We're just going to have to roll with it until governments make concessions on the isolation periods. If a player refuses to play for his country by order of his club, he'll likely be ostracised and never play for his nation again. The choice between club and country is a no brainer and smart coaches know that.

It’s a difficult situation and if their national teams are making threats to stop them playing in future I can have some sympathy with the players and think that both Spurs and the football authorities should be gunning for these clown ass South America counties who treat this pandemic situation like a joke. These jokers couldn’t organise a pizz up in a brewery, as we saw with the farce that unravelled last night.

But I agree that these are grown men and they have to take a degree of responsibility. A fine and an agreement that they won’t make the same mistake when the next international breaks rolls around in October is fair recompense to the club that pays their wages and will now be missing them for several weeks.

Learn from it, don’t repeat the same mistakes, move on.

Is Davies available? Could go with a back three of Rodon, Dier, Davies with Tanganga and Reguilon as wing backs. I feel safer with 3 when we’re talking about this kind of personnel.



A truly horrific back line!!

Team against Palace

532

.....................Son Kane
...Dele/Ndombele Hojberg Skipp
Reguilon Rodon Dier Tanganga Emerson
........................Lloris

Or 433

Bergwijn Kane Son
Ndombele/Dele Skipp Hojbjerg
Reguilon Dier Tanganga Emerson
....................Lloris


Both teams are good enough to beat Palace if well drilled.

No chance N`dombele will be even in the squad. Why do supporters keep putting him in the team. He is toast.

They did but the Brazilian FA decided not to call up uk based players unlike the Argentine fa.
