    I’m optimistic that the figure will improve as we move through the season. I think Chelsea will improve their current quota of three players when you factor in CHO, RLC and probably Reece James. Other teams will hopefully increase their number also.

    Chance for Harwood-Bellis in the cups maybe? At the moment they only have Otamendi, Fernandinho & Garcia as fit centre-back options.

    Hoping that Smith Rowe, Garner and Gomes get minutes too.

    Line-up tonight confirms what we probably all suspected: that THB is still fourth choice behind Otamendi, Fernandinho, and Garcia. Not that there's anything terribly wrong with that - he's 17.

    More concerningly, Foden doesn't make the bench either. He's making zero progress right now.

    I'm pretty sure Pep said Foden had a stomach bug

    There was some interesting discussion over on Bluemoon forum about this and maybe all isn’t as it seems but guess we will see on Saturday if he’s back on the bench again as can’t imagine a stomach bug will last that long.

    Can you elaborate a little?

    Well, just that one of the guys claims he is fit and that things are not perfect. Usually Id just shrug my shoulders at some of the posts on there but this guy is a very reliable source who knows the Academy and the people their and not the sort of guy who makes this stuff up.

    That rumour will live or die based on his league cup involvement next week.

    Tanganga not even on Uefa B list for Spurs but Eyoma is.

    Is Eyoma ahead of him in their eyes no matter what Tanganga did pre-season.

    Worst decision possible that Tanganga wasted his time committing to Spurs.

    Willock with a deflected goal. Great work from Saka in the build-up.

    Smith-Rowe has looked rusty.

    In the middle too. Needs to seize the opportunity.

    Smith-Rowe off for Pépé. It's been coming. He's been dispossessed almost every time he's had the ball.

    Smith-Rowe looked very rusty, wasn’t surprised to see him go off. Saka, very lively first half.

    Saka probably needs a loan. He's more than good enough to be starting every week in men's football.

    Has Saka all of a sudden leapfrogged Nelson in the pecking order? Nelson can’t buy a start at the moment so would have thought he would have started tonight but Saka and Smith-Rowe got the nod ahead of him.

    Well, he might have done now. Capped an excellent performance with a cracking goal.

    3-0 Aubameyang, Saka assist.

    That's a goal and two assists for him.
