Wonder playing Reggie further forward is for Bale's sake tonight.

They linked nicely for goal against Brighton!

José still trying to get a tune out of Sanchez it seems.

Will be interesting to see if Doherty is given the freedom he used to play with in his favored RWB position at Wolves.

Doherty is playing in his favoured position of 10 yards further forward so he can't hide behind the whole "he's a wing back playing right back" bollocks, expect a drastically improved performance tonight.

I feel bad for Dele. Should be given an opportunity in the EL and see what happens. Did well in the last game when he came on

I wonder if dele is being protected for a January move. Can't believe he can't get a start in the europa league

Damn, got the formation correct and I was one player out from guessing the team. I went for Alli instead of Moura.

We need to win to top the group, if that actually matters? Hopefully the boys can get the win without bringing on kane and son

I like the change of formation and the team selection. I'm surprised Jose changed so much but I'm glad he did. The 3 atb gives Sanchez extra coverage and Davies has looked his best in a LCB role. Doherty is back to a position he is used to and Bale is more of an attacking threat in his role. Also none of the starting XI outside Reguilon are starting so that is good.

Sad about dele, in the matches he’s featured in it seems to me like he’s earned more time. None of us knows what goes on in training though, so I trust Jose. On the bright side, this is Doherty’s best position, so hopefully he shows the attacking instincts which are his standout qualities; this system should give him more freedom to do so.

Dele probably isn't playing because he isn't doing what Jose wants him to do.
Or he has just become victim of a crazy competitive squad. Three other Tottenham fringe players named Lucas Moura, Giovani Lo Celso and Gareth fucking Bale are starting over him... Not to mention Lamela will be another attacking option soon.

You can understand why it is hard to get a game at the moment. We have arguably one of the deepest attacks in world football.

On a 12 man bench we could have placed 1 or 2 more youngsters.
Dont want to see Kane or Son on the pitch in this one.

Why is that bollocks? He was very good for Wolves at a wing back and average as a fullback.

Now we play him as a fullback and he's average.

Maybe 2 + 2 actually does = 4.
