Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to their team’s line-up for this afternoon’s game against Liverpool and they’re not happy with the midfield Antonio Conte has chosen.
Both sides have been struggling with COVID-19 related issues over the last two weeks, with Spurs having to postpone their last three fixtures due to an outbreak of the virus within the squad.
It was not totally clear who within Spurs’ camp had tested positive, but today’s line-up has given some hints to that, with the likes of Oliver Skipp and Lucas Moura dropped to the bench and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg out of the squad completely.
The team to face the Reds has garnered quite a reaction from social media, especially when it comes to the selection of Dele Alli, Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele in the starting XI.
With that said, here is the best reaction from Twitter :
@Matt8O2003 : Sessegnon wing-back masterclass incoming, don't worry
@frocxter : The last time Winks started after three consecutive wins in the premier league under a new manager, it all fell apart...
@jonfaulkner13 : Probably one of the worst midfields in the league and we are still fighting for top 4. Conte is a different level.
@Totnumszn : Why wouldn't Bergwijn want to leave. Starting Dele over him! Ffs
@shawnminnesota : Why do we want to always lose to Liverpool it’s a personality trait at this point
Do you think the Premier League should pause to deal with the latest surge in Covid cases? Have your say below.
@Jordan_Neale : Not too sure if Skipp has picked up knock or something? Skipp should definitely be starting over Winks but other than that this is a sound line up under circumstances
@JoeGftbl : Please prove me wrong and let this be a masterstroke Antonio
@COYSonny7 : That midfield reeks
@Samsteadman9 : Winks over Skipp and Dele over Lucas/Lo Celso. Very interesting is all I'm going to say
@Cdj_Trading : That midfield is very light. Looks like we've already decided to hand the 3 points to Liverpool.
@mike_craig50 : Oh good Conte has started the Mourinho squad roulette already! Hold on tight for a battering
@zeethfc : Sess? Ndombele??? Dele???? Winks??????
