Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to share their reaction to Antonio Conte’s team selection for this afternoon’s FA Cup third-round match against Morecambe.
The game will mark the first-ever clash between Tottenham and Morecambe in any competition.
Tottenham have been eliminated from this stage of the cup competition just once in their last 15 campaigns
Conte has made eight changes from the side which lost at Chelsea in midweek with Dele Alli looking like he will be playing up top while Bryan Gil and Joe Rodon make their first starts since November.
Morecambe boss Stephen Robinson was set to return to the club where he came through the ranks and represented the first team twice in the 1990s, only for the manager to test positive for Covid-19 ahead of the trip.
This is what some fans have had to say about the side which takes to the field in North London in under an hour’s time:
Lo Celso, Tanguy, and Bryan need to shine
they are the only ones that I have any kind of hope in 🙃

After the Mura loss I’m not confident with any easy game anymore

Free rodon and Ndombele from this

None of this if 'dele doesnt bag today' after Southampton I knew he wouldn't do much. I'm here because half this team could start vs Chelsea. Ndombele Bryan Sess Gio Winks could literally all start in our next month worth of games

Team I expected. Bit dissapointed to see no Markanday on the bench :/
