League Cup

Sugarlumps

Tottenham Hotspur have been drawn at home to Gillingham in the third round.

Justin Edinburgh back at the lane as a manager. You would like to think that should be an easy enough tie.

Kiith

Definitely a tie to give some of the youngsters a go.

They beat Watford on Tuesday night. So not a foregone conclusion.

DubPerryman

I assume we'll have a fairly youthful squad on Wednesday.


Vorm/Lopez

Trippier - Wimmer (if fit) - Carter Vickers - Davies

Carroll - Wanyama

Edwards - Onomah - N'Koudou

Janssen


I just have a feeling he will leave someone senior, like Wanyama in there.

Not sure if he will risk Janssen, but he might start in order to get a goal and get his confidence up, but won't be on for long with Kane being injured.


Subs

Winks
Walker-Peters
Vertonghen
Sissoko
Harrison

Worztron

I predict 4-5 goals for Spurs.

Kiith

I almost hope Wimmer doesn't start, as that would mean he's not injured and just out of favour with Poch (or some other bad reason). He should have played when Verts was moved to LB last week.

For those of you streaming, tonight's match is available on beIN Sports 8, SuperSport 2za and SuperSport 2.

Wimmer in starting XI

DubPerryman

A lot of faith in Winks and Carroll in centre mid. Thought there might be a more senior head in there.

Sugarlumps

Haven't seen enough of Winks, hoping he takes his chance. Seen plenty of Carroll, no idea why he's still at the club?

Emmanuel Osadebe will have something to prove.

Worztron

We played Gillingham once before - in 1982 - coincidentally also in the League Cup.

Don't seem to be any streams working

Found this one.

Kiith

Very good start.

tippspur

No harm to see that keeper going off,looked like he was going to stop everything we threw at him tonight.

Kiith

Ah, Jansen...should have scored that. Wide open.

DubPerryman

Janssen looks like he's feeling the pressure. Tripper put that one on his head, he just had to hit the target!

tippspur

Some goal!! Eriksennnnnn.

Kiith

Jansen is actually playing really well, just hasn't scored yet. He's bloody strong.

tippspur

Poor Jansen,will it ever go into the net for him

DubPerryman

Yeah he's a tidy player - good touches and holds the ball up well... Even gets in the right places at the right time, just doesn't seem to have the killer touch!

SuprSi

Lovely play by Lamela, nice finish by Erikson. 2 - 0

Worztron

Come on! Let's go on now and batter them.

tippspur

Brilliant from Lamela and Eriksen..

SuprSi

Penalty to Spurs, Trippier tripped in the box

SuprSi

Janssen scores from the spot!

tippspur

Vinny on the scoresheet at last.

2nd Row Donkey

Sweet. That worked out well.

But I recall Soldado getting a penalty to open his account and it made little difference

Kiith

I forgot we had Nkoudou. Will be interesting to see what he's like.

Carroll and Winks have been good in CM. Same with CCV at CB. Great to see so many youngsters playing so well.

Kiith

4-0, Onomah. Delighted for him.

SuprSi

Goal for Lamela

Kiith

5-0! Superb assist from Jansen and great goal from Lamela.

tippspur

Lamela deserves that,been great all night.

It's his debut tonight

Kiith

Pretty much as good as it could have been. Loads of debuts, Jansen on the scoresheet, and no injuries. Job done

Worztron

That'll do nicely. (:

tippspur

thought Onomah was very good,always available for the pass.

Mr. Guappa

Liverpool away next. I'd give a similar, maybe slightly stronger team than tonight a crack at them.

spursman11

Liverpool away next,anyone but them,all they have to play for this season

2nd Row Donkey

Liverpool away next round :eek:

Good. Let the same team have a crack at them i say. No reason to fear them, and they deserve the shot.
