What should our central midfield be next season?

[ItsBoris]

Asking the question because I'm genuinely not too sure what our best pairing would be (assuming we play a 4-2-3-1 formation which Poch seems to prefer).

 

[Spurger King]

Not a fan of Dembele then?

Ok shit the poll is embarrassing as I posted the thread prematurely. How do I edit it?

 

[Darth Vega]

Dembele/Sandro offers the best balance for me. Just hope that Pochettino can get the best out of Dembele.

Knew someone would take the piss before I posted my explanation.

agreed and proven to work. paulinho and capoue will win though because they're the newest.

 

[KingNothing]

A pairing that can protect the defense and pass the ball forward. Don't care who it is, as long as they do their job

You're not allowed that option. I'm going for Sandro & Bentaleb.

Personally, I would have Sandro & Holtby as my pairing.

The problem with Dembele is he doesn't pass the forward ball quick enough, which won't work on Poch's system as it will be come to slow like AVB's. If Poch can teach him to play with his head up, pass within 2 touches (most of the time) and play the occasional through and long ball he would be great, but I have my doubts.

Dembele/Sandro for away and counter attacking
Capoue/Hotlby for Home and trying to break down a stubborn defence.

 

[StartingPrice]

Oh, man...is this a trick question?

Better?

Don't think he'd get on with the cockerel, but definitely forward it over to Leicester

but sandro, capoue and paulinho do?

More so than Dembele, yes. If you see my earlier post I picked the 2 of Sandro and Holtby.

Like I said, hopefully Poch makes him develop into the the player you just described. I agree with you, I just think he's a better option than Paulinho (still unsure on him), Capoue (too defensive to play with Sandro) or even Holtby (again, yet to be totally convinced).

i'll give you holtby, bentaleb too, but sandro, capoue and paulinho? i've seen no evidence to support that claim.
