Apparently, Solanke is out for a couple of weeks now. Picked up an ankle injury in the Leicester fiasco.

Richarilson's opportunity to shine against his former club.

Don't like that.gif

 

Looks like front 3 today is Odobert - Son - Johnson. Interesting.

Well fuck me. Mickey is probably out for awhile. 

Luckily enough, came right back on. We'll see if he comes out in the second half. 

Hyperextension can wreak havoc on a knee, but he might have gotten lucky this time.

Europa League draw results.

The continental competitions have a weird format starting this year, but seems to be pretty easy to understand. Every team is in a single table. You play 8 games against teams, home and away. The resulting table results in how teams advance.

Teams 1-8 - advance to round of 16

Teams 9-16 - advance to the playoff as the top seeds

Teams 17-24 - advance to the playoffs as the unseeded teams

Teams 25-36 - knocked out of the competition

 

 

For the draw, teams were seeded 1-36 based on coefficient and then placed in pots 1-4, 8 teams each. You got 2 teams out of each pot. The main rules - you can't play anyone from your own association, you can't play a country more than twice in the round.

Spurs were really unlucky in this draw. They drew at least one top 2 team in each pot by coefficient (both in pot 3):
Roma (Pot 1- Seed 1)
Rangers (1-5)
AZ Alkmaar (2-2)
Ferencvaros (2-8)
Qarabag (3-1)
Galatasaray (3-2)
Elfsborg (4-8)
TSG Hoffenheim (4-2)

Granted coefficient isn't super accurate as it counts your European play mostly and a lot of these teams miss out many years (Spurs missed last year). They are better than most everyone in their path so I like their chances.

Bentancur has been charged by the FA for "an alleged breach of FA rule E3 for misconduct in relation to a media interview." 

 

His actual punishment is up in the air right now. There is talk it could be from a single game up to a dozen, compared to similar cases that have come up.

The TL;DR is that Bentancur made an all look same type comment about Son.

I think that this is right in there with stupid things athletes say. You can't let it go and he has to get some sort of punishment. It reminds me of wben Bernado Silva tweeted a racist picture to Benjamin Mendy for his birthday. Does he mean anything bad by it? No, but it's still not something to be said.
