Tottenham Vs Sunderland: Match Thread

[wiggo24]

Serious lack of attacking intelligence in that line-up imo.

 

[gpatrick]

Vertonghen at LB?

 

[dondo]

What fucking system is this?!

Usual system vertongon left back my guess

 

[felmani26]

So Vertonghen left back, Dier CB?

Need Lamela in there - especially at home where we will have the lions share of possession and need some nous.

(Roots round in drawer for plastic knife for later on)

 

[Trees]

What fucking system is this?!

Verts left back

 

[bubble07]

Vertonghen left back?

 

[KILLA_SIN]

..............LLoris
Walker....Dier....Toby.....Verts
.....Wanyama.......Dembele
Sissoko........Ali.......Son
...............Kane

 

[pablo73]

Plenty of power but not a lot of collective IQ in that line-up. I'm assuming the plan is to bulldoze the bus. COYS!!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Dier selected at CB over Wimmer. Yeah, something's not right.

 

[Pellshek]

What devilish sorcery is this? What fresh hell?

 

[Monkey boy]

Fucking hell that's the sort of team Tony Pulis dreams of putting out. All muscle and no guile.

When a team puts up a block then one way through is to bulldoze the fuck out of it.

 

[wiggo24]

We're playing Sunderland FFS.

Kane needs a rest. Why play Jan at LB? He's even more defensive than Davies. No guile in the final third against a team which will likely sit deep.

Don't understand that line-up at all tbh.

 

[danielneeds]

So it's...?

Lloris
Walker Toby Dier Verts
Wanyama Dembele
Sissoko Alli Son
Kane

​

 

[bubble07]

So CCV isn't ready after all...

 

[mike_l]

Why the fuck is Kane playing whilst Janssen is on the bench??? What was the point in buying him if we don't trust him to start at home to Sunderland?

 

[felmani26]

Why accommodate Dier who has been well below par and disrupt our centre backs pushing Verts out to the left, albeit a role he has internationally.

Just play Davies and drop Dier!

 

[bat-chain]

I think Wimmer has a knock that is being covered as opposed to anything else.

 

[tony0379]

Fucking line up is that lol

 

[Grapo2001]

Is that entire team over 6ft?
