Would like to see holtby get the nod over paulinho but like your line up chronic



Holtby is a squad player at best. No way is AVB going to put him in place of Paulinho. He may improve, but Paulinho is a nunber one pick in any best Spurs first XI at the present time.

Holtby is a fantastic player sandy and a different player totally to paulinho... On a small pitch you need cleaver players like holtby to open up defences

Very much disagree here lads... As soon as he came on last Thursday we looked much more effective going forward and his pass that led up to Dembele goal is exactly what we've missed this season!!

I'd have holtby playing ahead of Lamela any day of the week

===== Sandro Dembele =====
Lennon === Holtby === siggs

That's what I'd play today

Holtby is a very promising young player. Not everyone is going to instantly become a star. I think we can bide our time with him, we got him for next to nothing as well. Good squad player always ready to inject energy with a lot of potential

we have a lot of players that fit that profile tbh, so moderate rotation is the way to go. Only Lloris, Walker, Vert, Sandro are my personal starters for each game

I like Holtby a lot personally, however I think he struggles with a bit or an inconsistency issue due to a lack of composure on his part. I think this is because against some teams he tries too hard and runs so much that by the time he gets the ball he is out of breath and not very focused.

The more I think about it, dembele has to play against Fulham as there will be no doubt that he will put in a performance
