Tottenham Projected Forwards

Tottenham will have a front three for Mura, looking to exploit an opportunity to get some players on track and firing, although not everyone that needs a goal will necessarily play.

Bryan Gil (LW)

Much like the idea of starting Skipp, Rodon, and Romero, there is not a reason for Bryan Gil to be on the bench. Rather there are loads of reasons the talented, young attacker should be on the pitch. With a good motor, excellent ball skill, and an eye for a good pass, Bryan has an opportunity to break out if used correctly on Thursday.

Heung-Min Son (CF)

We would love to see Dane Scarlett starting but we do not believe Nuno is willing to go there with so much riding on the outcome. And despite needing a goal, Harry Kane needs to be on the bench and watch a bit of the work Son does to remember his full job at Tottenham. Son has the pace and power to lead the line well and should bag a goal or two in an hour or so on the pitch.

Lucas Moura (RW)

Maybe Son plays out on the right and Harry Kane does actually start, but it seems more likely to make a point, Nuno moves forward without Kane in the lineup. In fact, Kane playing and not scoring is probably a worse outcome than Kane not playing at all. After a not-so-great match against Arsenal having returned from injury, Lucas Moura will be hungry and ready to go. That desire is why he needs to play.
