Familiar Names for Tottenham Hotspur Group Stage Opening XI
By Aaron Coe
Hotspur Forwards
Son Heung-Min (LW) – The Korean winger continues to shine scoring again thanks to a Harry Kane assist on Sunday. Right now, it seems the only thing that can stop Son would be Son himself and Mourinho by taking him off the pitch. With the team in need of a statement, Son starts, scores, and does his thing for Spurs.
Harry Kane (ST) – Harry Kane continues to evolve as a player. Frankly, if we see Vinicius come in and Lo Celso is not ready to replace Ndombele I could see Kane moving to the position behind Vinicius in the midfield. Whether knocking in goals, sending in crosses, or setting up his mates with the long ball, Kane is currently hitting on all cylinders and we should all try to enjoy it.
Lucas Moura (RW) –Steven Bergwijn started Sunday against West Ham and Moura came on later in the match. With a bit of rotation in mind, we get the opposite here with Moura starting and Bergwijn or even Gareth Bale coming on for the Brazilian late on in the match. With the competition now available along with form of Kane and Son, Moura may only get so many chances to show his stuff before Bale, or Bergwijn pass him by.
