Team v Watford

[carpediem991]

For me most interesting game in terms of team selection. Poch rarely rotates a lot but do we feel we need some fresh legs? I guess he won't swap too many, but I think we should give our squad members a shot to prove what they can do.
I guess two games are too much for Dembele and I'd prefer to save him.

Poch will never line that team up but I'd be tempted to put out a few:

-----------------------------Lloris----------------------
Trippier-----Alderweireld-----Vertonghen----Rose-
---------------Bentaleb--------Carroll----------------
------Son----------------Lamela-------------Chadli---
----------------------------Kane--------------------------

Subs: Vorm, Wimmer, Dier, Mason, Eriksen, Alli, Onomah

If Dembele is okay give him a place on the bench.

Obviously this will be a really tough game, but I hope we give Capoue the run-around in midfield and show him what he could have won if he'd bought into the pressing and work ethic required of a Pochettino team.

 

[ShaunL84]

I don't think we should, same team please.

 

[kremlyn]

Watford aren't awful. That cm2 is.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Rotating FBs, and I would drop Eriksen to the bench for this - either Carroll or Son in his place.

walker toby jan davies
dier mason
son dembele alli
kane​

bench: vorm, wimmer, trippier, bentaleb, lamela, eriksen, chadli

I cannot say the back 4 ran themselves into the ground vs norwich today, so since it isn't broken, don't try to "fix" it. get mason in there and see what the front 4 need in the second half with subs... no relief for dier, no relief for kane... Damn the Torpedoes!! Full steam ahead!!!

 

[jurgen]

Same team except maybe Son or Carroll for Eriksen. I think Davies would be a calmer head against their forward threat although Rose might be well up for a physical match up

 

[lukespurs7]

Same team but maybe Son in for Eriksen all depends on 'how they arrive with their condition' lol

Lloris

Walker . Toby . Verts . Rose

Dier . Dembele

Son . Lamela . Alli

Kane

​

 

[yusrisafri]

Son for Eriksen
Rose for Davies
Bentaleb for Dembele if he doesnt recover in time.

Others to remain unchanged

 

[TropicalYid]

Same team that started today for me.

 

[rabbikeane]

Think we'll change full backs,
max one more change beside that.
Guess we'll have to wait and see if Dembele is out too

 

[kitchen]

Dembele out is a big miss if it happens, as we saw against Newcastle. It's just such a mental drain for the opposition when they see a guy they know they just can't get the ball off receiving a pass...

 

[Sweech]

Rest Dier, hopefully we can put Mason in his place. Different style player, but can do a good job vs Watford methinks.

Also start Son or Carroll in the 3 behind the striker.

 

[PrettyColors]

What I'd like to see:
Hugo in goal
Trippier-Toby-Jan-Rose
---- Dier ------- Bentaleb
Lamela----Eriksen---Son
-------------Kane----------

I really don't want a hobbled Dembele going into this crucial run of fixtures. I think Bentaleb will relish the chance and can provide the bite and pressing to bring intensity back. And though Alli is possibly the most athletically gifted player we have, I don't want to run him into the ground, he's proven that he isn't great without rest. Let's keep his confidence high and bring him on as a sub.

 

[npearl4spurs]

Lloris
Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Mason Dembele
Lamela Alli Son
Kane

Subs: Bentaleb/Dier for Dembele, Carroll for Kane going into the #10, Alli to the left with Son moving up top, Chadli for Alli
​

Rest Eriksen and Dier and try to keep Lamela and Dembele fresh.

 

[Ossie85]

I think we will change our full backs and maybe get Son in.

If we start Carroll against Watford we are going to have a hard time imo

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Same team except swap full backs and play Son instead of Eriksen.

 

[Shadydan]

We won't see any changes, I don't know why people were panicking saying we need to rest half the team or certain players can't play back to back games...we're not running a nursery here and as I said we have 6 days until the next match which is plenty recovery time.
