Jose's Team?

[Khilari]

My guess:

----------------------Gazzaniga-------------------------
Aurier KWP Dier Sanchez Toby Vertonghen Davies Rose
----------------------Ndombele------------------------
-------------------------Kane----------------------------

(Ndombele only gets in because I don't think he'll play Tanganga. A back 9 would be simply ridiculous.)

-----------------Gazzaniga-----------------

Aurier--Alderweireld--Vertonghen--Rose

---------------------Dier---------------------
---------Ndombele-----Lo Celso----------

---------Son-------Kane--------Dele-------

What I’ve wanted to see all season.

I’m not sure Aurier will play, and I’m not sure LoCelso will start, or Sissoko.

What's Mourhino approach with rotating players for PL games? Anyone know his history on this? I only saw this tidbit about 2015 Chelsea:

This season, more than anything provocative he has said, the most interesting thing from my point of view has been his use of the Chelsea FC squad. Specifically, Mourinho has used his preferred eleven players more than any other manager in the Premier League. Let’s take a look at how unique Mourinho’s approach has been and whether he ought to consider giving Cesc Fabregas and co. a rest.

If Jose picks Aurier there will be scenes....

I hope you guys are right. The number one thing I've been complaining about tactically this season has been the absence of clearly defined roles, which has been particularly obvious in the case of Kane playing everything from striker to CM -- sometimes in the same game. Jose should be able to solve the problem of every forward player thinking like a striker in possession.

@tmar How come you marked my post as spam, mate? If you want to quote me and explain why I'm a witless fuckwit, that's cool, but it's not like I'm offering boner pills.

I wonder if Jose would buy some boner pills from me..

Clean sheet for everyone imo. Let's see who fit Mourinho more and are motivated.

Aurier linesman?

Anyone else see Winks and think he could be his Makelele?

As Jose's Makelele you need to be able to tackle.

He's the one who could be the luke shaw if you catch my drift

‐--------------Gazza☆
Aurier☆ Toby☆ Sanchez Rose☆
----------------Dier☆
-----N'Dombele Lo Celso☆
---------Son Kane Alli

Think that will be the team against the spammers on Saturday but I think there are definite question marks over the ones with stars next to them.

Gazza (and Lloris) will have to prove they are worthy of a place in the squad. Lloris must be fearful as I suspect Mourinho wont be as faithful as Poch was. I am not sure if Gazza is a No.1.

Aurier will get replaced no doubt but I suspect he will retain his place until January. A replacement will be brought in January imo.

Toby was wanted by Mourinho previously and may well sign a new deal but has looked past it for a while in part because the rb has been so bad. Nevertheless with both him and Jan in their last year of their current contract at least one CB will be brought in the summer.

Rose we know was also wanted by Mourinho previously but is only here for 18 months and will not as we understand be offered a new deal. I suspect he will get the nod ahead of Davies but a new left back will come in the summer.

Dier as a Mourinho target in the past will get an opportunity to get his match fitness up and some games under his belt to prove himself as the dm. I expect a specialist dm to come in the January window personally. Diers contract runs out after next season so he only has a short period in my mind to prove himself. Illness and injuries aside I don't think he will be our solution going forward.

The interesting one for me is Lo Celso. Only on a loan with an option to buy, it will be interesting to see if Mourinho rates him especially as rumours circulate about Fernandez. I think Lo Celso is a great prospect just from the little I have seen and he would certainly stay in my team but i just wonder whether Mourinho has a thought that as he is not purchased yet whether he could find a player of his own choosing. No idea and i hope Lo Celso shows his talent to make it an easy decision.

As much as I’d like to see Aurier out by the corner flag and away from everything it’s probably not best

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

. But what about Toby and Verth?

At least one of them will sign a new contract at Spurs. I hope for Vertonghen.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

I really don’t see the wisdom in playing Dele as a WF in a 433. He doesn’t have pace or technique for that position. If anything, he’ll play the number 10 role with Ndombele in the number 8 and Dier/Sissoko shielding the defence.

We might see Lo Celso as a WF- he’s played in that position before, has very good technique and a decent pass on him. Joe Cole played a similar role in Mourinho’s first Chelsea squad so there is a precedent for playing that type of player in that formation.

 

[spursfan77]

I surprised people are putting Aurier in his team. I know we are struggling at right back but he rarely plays bad defenders. Forth isn’t great but I think he will be in ahead of him.

 

[slartibartfast]

Gazza

Aurier Sanchez Vert Davies
Dier Sissoko
Lamela Alli Son
Kane​

This is anybodys guess really.
I think Dier and Sissoko will start, Maureen likes a big thuggish midfield.
I think Lamela may get a shout as he does like to stick the boot in.
He may put Alli back behind Kane so we try and reignite the partnership that made them both so prolific.
Son on left is only one I'm sure of along with Kane.
As I said, anybodys guess.

 

[slartibartfast]

He normally goes with experience.
But Foyth or Aurier is much of a muchness as both are always 1 tackle from a red card.

 

[George94]

I'm not expecting a drastically different line up, but a big difference in how we set up tactically with those players.

Only change I can definitely happening see is Dier tack in the starting 11.

 

[spursfan77]

I suspect he will realise pretty quickly that he will face the same problems as Poch at fullback and central midfield. Hopefully he can sort it in January somewhat but until then we will have to battle on as we are.

 

[Seafordian Spurs]
