Wake up, everyone! It’s time for some Tottenham Hotspur football! Spurs finish up their tour Down Under with a match against Atletico Madrid at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds in Australia.

On Tuesday against Juventus, Spurs rolled with the younger players to decent effect overall. While the makeshift central defense of Dominic Ball and Cameron Carter-Vickers conceded two early goals en route to a 2-1 defeat, it wasn’t all bad news: Erik Lamela scored a beauty, Marcus Edwards showed off his speed, and we all got really confused by guys who all had the same haircut.

It’s a friendly, so I really don’t know what to expect from Pochettino with regards to his starting lineup. We expect that Christian Eriksen will play at least 45 minutes, but probably not much more than that as he continues to recover from a virus. We might see Kevin Wimmer, who missed the first match a black eye. I think we’ll see a shift from Luke McGee or Aussie keeper Tom Glover. And I bet we’ll see more of players like Anton Walkes, Shayon Harrison, Marcus Edwards, and Josh Onomah.

It’s a friendly, and Diego Simeone brought a pretty strong team to Australia, but let’s have some fun watching young players make mistakes. There’s no use getting MAD ONLINE when this is exactly the time of year when teams experiment and allow players to learn from their errors. And who knows, this might be the match where DeAndre Yedlin cements his place on the first team, or Harry Winks solidifies himself as a Moussa Dembele replacement.

COYS!
