Not at all. But I've watched enough of spurs over the last 12 months to know that winks and sissoko have huge limitations. And Dier is hardly an upgrade on either.

Try something new, or expect the same shit.

So you think we should shore up our leaky defensive record with two attack minded players who have barely kicked a ball for us as our central midfield duo?

Those aren't facts at all, just baseless speculation.
Basefull facts. We know Mourinho wants CM to organise and be an organiser. Absolutely impossibly to organise in that way without very much self belief and a willingness to boss your team mates around. We also know that on Mourinhos eyes Lo Celso is still settling in and adapting. One cannot both be settling in and adapting AND step out onto the pitch and boss around players like Vertonghen, Kane, Dier, Dele etc. So next time think twice before you call me baseless.

I said your statement was baseless speculation. I didn't call you baseless. That wouldn't even make sense lol.

Pochettino didn't prioritise playing Lo Ceslo and he was the one who presumably wanted him. Fair to suggest he is not showing enough in training to be starting in the centre. It is also understandable that he is not starting ahead of Dele or Moura in a more offensive role. Let's see how Moura does with a run of games though. Will also be interesting to see if Eriksen plays ahead of Lo Celso today. Probably he will and Lo Ceslo will get a game in Germany
