Mourinho doesn't like Aurier and believes (or at least believed in the past) that Sanchez can't pass and it's exposable so:
------- Gazza---------
Foyth-Toby-Dier-Rose
Sissoko-Ndombele-Alli
--Moura-Kane-Son--

Maybe someone else instead of Foyth because he was loyal to Poch and Dier in midfield.

Dier is definitely starting in DM with Toby at RCB. Mourinho desperately wanted them at United.

Was Mourinho is the studio when Keane said Rose and Aurier were dumb and dumber? That could cloud his selection...

I’d be most worried for the young lads now... Sess, Parrott, even Winks maybe

he was quoted in the «welcome to tottenham» video saying that if the right talent were there, he would use them

In the extended training vid of Jose's first session there is no sign of Lamela so good bet he's still out.

I am worried about the number of posters who want two right sided centre backs in the heart of our defence on Saturday

If Vertonghen isnt fit consideration should go to Ben Davies as the left sided CB Toby would assume senior role and be responsible for the main striker

JM is going to want battlers out there on Saturday

I reckon Jose will pick:

Gazza
Aurier Toby Verts Rose
Dier
Ndombele -------Sissoko
Alli ----------------------Son
Kane
With maybe Winks instead of Sissoko.

Lamela still out is a bummer. Was Sess in the training session?

I feel so sorry for Lamela. He can't get a run of good health, can he?

This was meant to be a little leg strain. But I guess he'll be out for a while.

As for Jose's first team? Sheesh. No idea how that's gonna go. Or what formation he'd wanna play. 433? 4312? 4231?

All I do know is that there will likely be one or two surprised in the lineup. And that he'll err on the side of defensive. Get the team's defensive shape sorted out first. As that's the foundation to build on the attacking side of the game.

He also likes experience. So, I'm guessing Jan and Toby will start at the back together, with Dier at the DM in front of them. And he'll have Kane in attack. Other then that, I have no idea what he's gonna do.

I think we'll see the defensive base for his new system but fairly standard otherwise. I doubt he'll try to implement too much this soon.

I think Mourinho will go pragmatic and set the team up how the team has been begging for until Mourinho has had a chance to get his feet under the table properly.

As such I think he will revert to 4231 with Jan and Toby, Dier in mid with Ndombele and the only question will be regarding Eriksen. Style wise I think we will revert to 2 seasons back and go for a high tempo press.

Lamela out.

Vert & Ndombele doubts.

Yeah Ndombele missing by the sounds of things. Annoying we let him go away with France. At least with Mourinho we should be stronger with not letting our players join up with their international teams in situations like this.

Lamela out till next year then :banghead: & Vorm gets injured in training, comedy of errors & with Lamela he is missing more matches then played & for that reason we finally have to move him on

Looks like Austin will be backup keeper again for the forseeable future. Wonder if Jose keeps that set up until Lloris returns.
