Team v Ajax

[walworthyid]

Moura can jump higher than Llorente can't jump.

Agreed. Moura jumps like a salmon. He won nearly every header yesterday.

@kaz Hirai keep retrospectively doh’ing my posts all you like, as if the events of today changes my opinion on what I said previously.

Clearly you misunderstood me. I am sick of this season because the football we have played, for the most part, has been turgid and unlike us. I have not enjoyed a Tottenham game in months. I am sick of this season. I want it to end.

It's alright dude, you're not the only one who jumped the gun. And declared the season ruined over even though 4th place was still achievable and a champions League semi still to play

Okay, so you didn’t misunderstand, you just can’t read.

I have not enjoyed this season because we’ve played poorly for 3/4 of the season. Our squad is hugely depleted, we’ve spent most of it at Wembley and there are huge question marks over a number of our players. Of course I’m glad we have CL football next season but that doesn’t mean you can’t not enjoy the season too.

Moura can jump higher than Llorente can't jump.

Assuming he isn't exhausted, I feel like he's earn't the starting spot for the way he played vs Bournemouth, was an immense effort.

Lloris
Trippier
Alderweireld
Vertonghen
Rose
Wanyama
Sissoko
Lucas
Eriksen
Dele
Son

Gazzaniga
Walker-Peters
Sánchez
Davies
Dier
Lamela?
Llorente

 

[FinnYid]

Big question is who will partner Sissoko in central midfield. Not an easy choice between Dier and Wanyama looking at their form.

 

[spids]

I'd play the team that played second half in the first leg, but with Verts and Son back in.

Lloris
Trippier Toby Verts Rose
Wanyama Sissoko
Eriksen
Moura Dele
Son

Subs: Gazza, KWP, Foyth, Davies, Dier, Kane (just to scare them), Llorente​

I have to agree. We put some decent performances in during December I think but for the most part we have been poor.
Even this week, which in a normal season would represent a huge achievement, will be tough. Obviously if we manage to beat ajax it will be fantastic, but if not the game against Everton will be horrific until at least the 80th minute. If we concede early and the scum score, well...

I dont think we have much choice. For me Wanyama is shocking. Slow, useless with ball and basically offers nothing. However, in Europe the game is slower and he can actually cope. Plus, in this game he will essentially just have to sit and defend so hopefully his extremely limited ability will manage.

I wish we had winks.

Please no Llorente. Impact sub only.

Team picks itself if fit.

Lloris
Trippier
Toby
Jan
Rose
Sissoko
Vic
Eriksen
Alli
Moura
Son

Really need Dele to step up to the plate. He’s due some magic.

 

[Bails]

I think many others have the same team I would go for:

Lloris
Trippier Toby Jan Rose
Sissoko Wanyama
Eriksen
Moura Dele
Son
​

Best case scenario this team can get a one or two goal lead, otherwise if we need to get a goal or two with 20/30 mins to play would be very good to have Harry on bench, if he can make it, to go something like this:

Lloris
Trippier Toby Jan Rose
Sissoko Eriksen
Moura Dele Son
Kane​

With option to even chuck on our QF winning striker Llorente on for Dele. Suddenly we would look like we have options to hurt on the bench. Its been far too long, what we would give to also have a fit Lamela and Winks to have even more options.

COYS lets make even more histroy

They always say it's darkest before the dawn so come on lads, huge opportunity Wednesday.

Lloris
Trippier Alder Vert Rose
Wanyama Sissoko
Moura Eriksen Dele
Son

I have huge concerns over Son in that he is a confidence player and yesterday would have had a big effect, he needs an early goal, one where he doesn't have time to think to get him going again. Admittedly I wanted to see Foyth RB but I think he has likely blown his opportunity for an appearance this game.

The above players. We need to compete in midfield, keep the ball and attack with pace.

It’s a very easy choice for me. Big Vic all day long.

Think Dier blew his last chance of semi final start personally.

he's due some actual premier league standard football skill and effort.

Absolutely agree. Wanyama was awful in the first leg but had no one supporting him in midfield. Dier was just completely off the pace yesterday it was embarrassing. For me Wanyama shades it as i thought he was fairly decent when he replaced Dier but they need to have Sissoko in there to give him a bit of support.

 

[JCRD]

So im thinking Rose will be in midfield with Vertonghen left back and Sanchez and Toby in the middle...

Wanyama Sissoko in middle

Lucas, Eriksen and Son

Llorente up front

Our crossing was poor last week but Verts has an exceptional cross and they really didnt like the physicality and Llorente did win a few headers

Dele may not play unless you sacrifice Wanyama and have Sissoko playing that role with Eriksen in the middle and Dele behind Llorente..?

Based on Vert being rested and Wanyama/Dier performances this season, it wouldn't shock me if this happened, however i'm concerned by Rose overplaying in the central areas.

He does overplay slightly but he does have a bit about him and a bit of pace... will be intriguing to see... I just dont like the idea of dropping Dele because he is still capable of some magic. I just wouldnt forego pace against this lot and Llorente did enough to trouble them last time out but just didnt have the runners around him and the quality crosses.
