What is Our Strongest Eleven / Formation?

Page 2 of 3

posted on 18/9/18

the whole issue is that we dont have enough competition for places in the starting 11, more competition and it might shake up some of these, another reason why it is suicidal not to refresh the squad during the deadline.

I think the spine of the team will be agreed by most and then the other players are rotated / rotatable which most teams will do. Think that's okay:

Lloris

Toby & Vert

Dembele (might be more debatable now)

Eriksen & Dele

Kane

That's 7 places that should always feature in our team and only changed when injured or absolutely need a break.

Good competition at full backs:

Aurier / Trippier / KWP
Davies / Rose

Good competition in midfield:

Dier / Wanyama / Winks

Good competition in attack:

Moura / Son / Lamela

These are happy headaches when things are going well. Seems like we don't have a clue when things are going badly.

i'd agree but when a lot of the core are playing sh1111t, midfielders cant stay fit and none of the full backs are better than just "good" - we are going to struggle

whats your team chron?

Ive been a major critic of lamela but TBF he's looked the only guy this season other than Moura who's been prepared to get his head up and drive forward from central positions and actually create something. I think he would probably better than dropping Eriksen deep, Dier looks physically & mentally knackered & is basically our 4th best CB so lets stop shoe-horning him into midfield, Dembele is DONE, Wanyama has been MIA for ages, Winks not good enough, Sissoko is a joke.... So go with 3 at the back... That team will probably win most games 4-2 but unlike much of what we have seen this year will at least have some creativity in the middle of the park to go with the attacking flair we have up top.... Otherwise its all wasted

Is anyone else getting a little worried by this season like I am?

I know it's only been two losses, and before that we romped Utd, but we just looked so flat uninterested against Liverpool, and with the injuries and stadium and midfield, I'm just a bit worried that this season could be a struggle. I hope we put in a big performance tonight and kick our season back off.

100% agree. Personally think we're gonna get pumped tonight.... something aint right at Spurs..... It starts with Levy & all goes from there. Lets not get too carried away with that United win.... We played well in the second half but they should have been 3 up at HT
