I just can't wait to see Eriksen, Lamela and Soldado linking up together next season.
I have been saying it all season, intelligence needs intelligence.
Lamela, Eriksen, Holtby, Bentilab, Soldado, Verts Chiri.
Especially the front lot, how they havent taken to the pitch together is beyond me.
Absolutely. It's the 4 man midfield that's making it so hard (impossible?) to do precisely that. There's not really any real reason why we couldn't see
Lloris
Walker, Chiriches, Vertonghen, Rose
Holtby, Sandro, Bentaleb
Lamela, Soldado, Eriksen
Or
Lloris
Walker, Chiriches, Vertonghen, Rose
Holtby, Sandro, Paulinho
Lamela, Soldado, Eriksen
Or put Dembele alongside Sandro & Holtby, or put him in the front 3. Or give Sandro a rest and play Capoue, etc etc etc. We have, in my opinion, an outstanding squad, for that formation. It allows for better rotation possibilities, and it's a system that many of our expensively signed players are familiar with. That's why I'm so astounded by Sherwood's intimation that he wants to 'weed out' some of our summer purchases, and replace them with alternative options. Why not just change to a formation & system that suits the players we have, rather than throw away the major investment that was made last summer?
I don't know if he wasI remember some spurs fans (tongues firmly in cheek) saying that Eriksen is a better signing than Mezut Ozil.
He was.
Amount of injuries we've had has stopped any chance of that happening.The most frustrating thing about this season is that there's absolutely no reason why we couldn't have been doing that all season

One of these things is not like the othersI have been saying it all season, intelligence needs intelligence.

he wouldnt of scored either of them goals if he was playing in the hole
ive said this time and time again but he is so much better with a free role starting from the left, confuses defenders and makes his job so much easier.
the times he starts in the hole he gets easily phased out of the game because normally he is quite static and easy to pick up
He's clearly intelligent enough to work out for himself where he needs to be. He has great footballing intelligence - maybe the best in our team.
Who says we're going to sign Lamela?I just can't wait to see Eriksen, Lamela and Soldado linking up together next season.
wish people would stop saying we should build our team around him as a number #10, he will grow in to that role when he is ready and it will be natural, no need to put unnecessary pressure on him to be our heartbeat as a 22 year old
I agree. I would also like to see Lamela given the same role on the right when he returns from injury.he wouldnt of scored either of them goals if he was playing in the hole
ive said this time and time again but he is so much better with a free role starting from the left, confuses defenders and makes his job so much easier as he can see spaces to drift in to where the full back is unlikely to follow him
the times he starts in the hole he gets easily phased out of the game because normally he is quite static and easy to pick up and startle with a few heavy challenges
