Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread

[cjbyid]

Personally think the two picked ahead of eriksen have performed better pre season!

Side note beer pumps in the south stand aint working in a few places?

Good line up let’s take the 3 points, start quickly and pay attention

We are at home to Villa, who have just been promoted. Why are there three central midfielders playing in a match where they will completely sit back and we will have to break them down? If we play with Sissoko, Winks, and Ndombele in a three-man midfield this season, we simply aren't going to score enough goals to be remotely competitive with Liverpool or City. Our best football under Pochettino has come with three attacking midfielders behind Kane. There is simply too much pressure on Moura and Lamela in this system to be the creators and Winks and Sissoko aren't creative enough in the final third to start both of them, and Ndombele. I have faith in Moura and Lamela doing well today and helping win this match comfortably, but this isn't our best set-up and it's not close to our best available 11.

Hope for GK or Poch just bottling Parrott do we think

Diamond formation.

If Eriksen isn't right mentally I don't see what other team we can play? Eriksen, Alli, Son, Lo Celso, Sessegnon missing.

Im not suprised Parrot is not in the squad. Poch always prefers senior players on the bench, even if they all defensive players.

Diamond formation.

Diamonds our forever

What’s wrong with Vertonghen?

Overslept!

 

[Led's Zeppelin]

What’s wrong with Vertonghen?

Slight knock, nothing serious.

Ndombele and Winks are infinitely more creative than Dier and Dembele were

 

[rabbikeane]

No Parrott make me think we'll bring in Llorente

 

[Shadydan]

Shocking bench

Well yes that tends to happen when you have 6 players unavailable.

Slight knock, nothing serious.

Phew

Calm down. Ali is injured. Son is suspended. Lo Celso just got here two days ago. We're definitely not going in that direction. There are just limited players available for selection today.

Sometimes I really don’t believe Pochettino thinks about his bench

 

[Monkey boy]

It already feels like last season with injuries and missing players for various reasons. Once again our bench has nobody on it who can change the game as I can’t see Eriksen coming on.

 

[mil1lion]

It's really a 4312 formation with 2 pivots allowing Ndombele and Sissoko to. Bomb forward. Not that defensive nd worked well against Juve.
