Inverted wingers. Why?

#THFC Team: Lloris (c); Walker, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Mason; Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli; Kane #COYS
Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial 7s7 seconds ago
Subs: Vorm, Chiriches, Rose, Dembele, Stambouli, Townsend, Soldado #COYS

No Kaboul, no Adebayor, no Paulinho anywhere. Also showing continued faith in Mason and Bentelab.

I'd have played Stambouli or Dembele for Mason today. Where's Lennon? Lamela needs a stormer today.

How many chances Lamela will get? Great man managing, Poch.

Or Capoue.

 

[tony0379]

i don't think we will see Adebayor start for us again

Eriksen behind Kane, Happy with that!

 

[Kennington]

Interesting!

 

[raymundo-iow]

Hopefully lamela was told to watch the game in the week about how width changes games

 

[iluvsteffenfreund]

Lamela and mason keep there place after average performances against Chelsea, palace and Swansea. Let's see if that bites us on the arse.

 

[Bulletspur]

The last few games he has played he has done that. My opinion.

I would say now he does it occasionally rather than the norm. The old Lennon of old was doing it every time he got the ball. He did look a little better when Chirirches was playing RB a couple of matches ago..

 

[gushayes11]

He'll have Walker outside him today again, hopefully open up a bit of space for him, but he must have a big game.

 

[Grapo2001]

I don't agree. I think Davies is more intelligent.

Possibly but rose poses more threat. Davies picked though

 

[Mr Pink]

Has Lennon just been dropped from the squad completely? No mention in the team news prior to this game or the Newcastle one.

Worry about the lack of pace in that side, but at least Walker is back.

COYS.

 

[prawnsandwich]

team'll be

lloris
walker fazio vertonghen davies
lamela mason bentaleb eriksen
soldado kane

​

I think you are probably right.

Nearly.

Yes I agree he hasn't been great over the last season or so but I saw some of the Lennon of old over the last few matches he has played. I am not a great fan of the inverted wingers stuff and would like to see someone get on the outside more..

COYS.

No Dier either. OS reported no injuries.

 

[fazza]

I'm happy with that team apart from Lamela, He really needs to step up today and put in a good performance.
