I don't want to drop Lamela for Lennon ( he's finished ) but why give Lamela more time than say Townsend both Young and Townsend actually done more/shown more in the prem (mainly with qpr)!
Personally I'd be putting Kane in for Lamela
Chadli Kane Eriksen
>>>> striker >>>>>>
That's my choice
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Decent selection.
I'm not for one minute saying Lamela doesn't have flaws. He is actually quite similar to Townsend in this respect. Both are clearly talented but the decision making is poor and they both need games to help improve this.
Unfortunately they are going to frustrate us at times this season.
Somewhere along the line I'd like to see Dier play in his natural CB position, even if it's europe for now. I think that he just might become a very good CB for us.
Some clubs do seem to have an ethos don't they, no matter who the players are. Stoke comes to mind, for being tough etc, barca for the style of play.....
And spurs for being weak minded, bottling peasants
How to change it? I guess the club ethos is known to the players when they join, so I guess subconsciously they regress into that over time at the club
It will take years of a different style of management to shake it off I feel. May never happen of course and we may always be like this
I personally would love to see a really strong spurs side, who don't roll over and fight for every ball.
Peasants????? Meant caaaants
We need a couple of tough Argentinians/Uruguayans to instil a winning mentality. A scrappy defensive midfielder like Mascherano + a full-back or centre-back. A strong and hard-working striker wouldn't go amiss.
I can't help but feel that some of the players voted for Kaboul as captain as they knew he was a little soft and wouldn't give them what for if things weren't going right. You need only look at his consistent communication breakdowns with Lloris to know that he is not a real, vocal leader. Yes, he looked it against Arsenal but otherwise, not so much.
We have a young team, so a certain amount of mental fragility is perhaps to be expected. It is therefore vital that our more experienced players provide strong leadership. At the moment, they are not doing that.
