Why does everyone hate Townsend?
------------------Lloris
Walker Kaboul Vertonghen Davies
-----------Sandro Dembele
Chadli ------- Eriksen ----- Holtby
----------------Adebayor
My first XI
No Lamela? I do agree that Holtby can be pushing for the first XI though, very good player

Massive fan of holtby and really want him to push on but do reckon this is a make it break season for him at spurs.
Chadli was really looking good before Tim moved him to CM
On Lamela I need to see more of him tbh
Not for me, if we were to sign Davies I would go with
Lloris
Walker RB
Verts CB
Cherishes CB
Davies LB
Capoue DM
Dembele DM
Lamela RM
Eriksen AM
Chadli LM
Soldado St
Maybe Sandro for Capoue but his always injured, if we are looking to win a game this gives the option of pushing Chadli up as an extra striker whils Eriksen can then cover LM. 4-5-1 to 4-4-2.
You can't play Holtby out wide.. AVB tried it and he looked completely lost, never a winger.
They aren't 'wingers' they are inside forwards and holtby looked pretty good playing off the right the other night
You've got then the wrong way round then
them^^
Still makes as much sense as playing him at DM for me.
Not really as inside forwards don't have to be on the opposite sides to there preferred foot.
Wingers are played in a 442/4411 formation where they are hugging the touch line.
Lloris
Walker Chiriches Vertonghen Davies
Capoue Dembele
Lamela Eriksen Chadli
Soldado/Adebayor
Similar to Combover for me. We can't have kaboul as first choice CB, he is so clumsy! Tho I'm not convinced by our others either...
-------------Lloris--------------------
Walker Verts Ciriches Davies
--------Sandro Holtby-------------
Lamela---- Eriksen -----Chadli
------------Soldado----------------
Tho I'm making the massive (and let's face it, unfounded) assumption here that Lamela is going to be unrecognisable to the ghost that played last year!
You could argue Capoue for Sandro. And Ade for Soldado too... But would much rather Holtby in there than Dembele. Everyone is going to have a different first 11!
On paper, we have a very strong squad. Problem is, we said that last year!!
----------------Lloris-----------
Walker Kaboul Verts Davies
-------Sandro-----Bentaleb----
Lamela-------Eriksen-----------Chadli
----------------Ade----------
but plenty of options for those midfielders.
------------------Lloris
Walker Kaboul Vertonghen Davies
---------------Sandro--------------------
---------- Eriksen Holtby -------------
Lamela ------------------- Chadli
-------------- Adebayor ---------------
Would that work?

It worries me yet again that none of us are really sure who are strongest 11 is. I really hope Poch does before September.
Not really - I doubt Man City or Chelsea fans do either. Don't think there's one strongest 11 these days anyway a the 11 you play against Villa at home will be different to City away.
I disagree, look at liverpool last year, they benefitted from having a relatively settled starting 11
It strikes me that no one here wants Paulinho in their first 11. I really, really hope Poch agrees.

Course not Hengy, but played on their preferred foot their instinct will be to go outside, of course you can tell em to cut in but it won't work as well, same as a player on their wrong foot struggles going outside, and why most fullbacks have to play on their preferred foot.
Like the team, I'd just swap the wingers round
