Shame we couldn't add Mouts but agree
Mouts in centre mid with Dembele further forward would just be delish darling.
Here's hoping we can pull it off in Jan.

Where are the AVB bashers?
its only reading calm down
As has been pointed out, a Reading team that caused Chelsea a lot of problems. Fair enough we shouldn't be getting over-excited based on one performance, but even a clear AVB hater like you can see that was a good performance today.
Or are you one of those posters who would prefer to be right than for Spurs to do well?
I thought we looked lacking in carrying the ball out, last season Modric would be there to collect it from defence and carry it forward, today that job was done by Sandro, Siggi and to a lesser extent Dembele not to mention Vertonghen who did it with some style. Why I thought we looked lacking is because last season it was basically always Modric so everyone knew what to do to give it to him and what to do once he'd got it but this season with the variations the players, I think, have to almost run through the options to make their move.
Ok so it introduced an element if not of confusion then certainly of delay and we lost the ball a few times because of it however, the upside of this is that they will soon get in the swing of it and become much smoother with the enormous benefit of the different options and without the total loss of creativity if one player is out of the team unlike the way we were when without Modric at any time.
It'll take a while longer but it improved through the game and is even now looking pretty good so surely it must be better in the long run.
I just worry that we are set up perfectly to play one way and away from home that is a good system at home it could be a struggle if he sacrificed a midfielder for a striker at home then fine.

Things just need time. Things that stood out for me is that JV isn't just a good defender but he is very positive in starting attacks. He really could become a legend if he stays with his initial hunger to play for us. Hoddle said demebele could be better for us than Modric and I agree. Not meaning he's abetter player but might fit the system better. we'd be fecking stupid if we don't buy in to AvB and say wereally don't give a shit what happens in the next three years, have the time, don't build a team, build an empire.
The press will be out in force tomorrow blaming him for something stupid which isn't his fault , Most likely the 3rd shirt which everyone seems to hate.......

I want AVB to do well also but I was a touch worried when we were 1 0 up and about to bring on Hud - not because it was the wrong move but if it had then gone to 1 1 then the bashers would have been out in force! luckily Bale's miskick put paid to that and on such matters are managerial careers made!
