Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 20

[yankspurs]

Its time for Gareth to step up.

Who is our U23 right back?

Lucas Moura

 

[spursfan77]

So we’ve gone from playing two right backs last game to none this game. Only spurs!

 

[Spursmatty87]

Fitness??

Tanganga s been fit for awhile. Maybe he thinks Sanchez is good but in bad form not sure but seems odd to me.

 

[Tucker]

That would not work as Bale has made it very clear to Jose that he either plays right wing or sub!

That’s not what Jose said. People have blown that comment out of all proportion. He was very relaxed about it, and essentially just said Bale can’t replace what Kane does for the team.

Also, always take what Jose says with a pinch of salt

 

[DJS]

I’d have preferred Tanganga at right back to Sanchez, purely because he’s done a decent job at full back in the last.

I don’t think Sanchez has ever done a particularly good job there.

 

[thebenjamin]

Not sure why we're playing a wing back system when we don't have wing backs. What is Ben Davies ever going to produce in that position when he's basically a centre back now?

 

[JCRD]

It is time for Gareth to step up for sure... i mean Brighton are easy to play against in that they give you space and that should allow Bale to perform...

Its his chance.

 

[Bobbins]

At last Bale starts! Literally no point in taking him back if we were never going to play him. About time.

 

[SpursSince1980]

How will you beat him?

Rhythm stick?

 

[idontgetit]

That would not work as Bale has made it very clear to Jose that he either plays right wing or sub!

I'd prefer for him to be on the right but he's lacked pace whereas in the middle he's a serious goal threat. Nothing would make me jizz my pants harder than for him to prove me wrong today of course.

 

[ardiles&villa]

Now I actually like José but that line up is really shit

 

[rabbikeane]

Who is our U23 right back?

Marcel Lavinier who got released by Chelsea in the summer

I was only being sarcastic.

 

[idontgetit]

Don't think we'll be seeing Aurier again.

What is the story behind the spat? I don't really know much about it. It's fucking nuts that we don't have a right back.

 

[JCRD]

Only to be subbed off and benched the first time he misplaces a cheeky pass.

Or injured

 

[Bobbins]

That line up looks a bit light in the middle if it's wing-backs as the BBC is suggesting. I'd much rather we'd have gone 4-3-3 with:

Son Bale Stevie
NDombele
PEH - Sissoko
Davies - Toby - Rodon - Doherty

 

[ILS]

That’s not what Jose said. People have blown that comment out of all proportion. He was very relaxed about it, and essentially just said Bale can’t replace what Kane does for the team.

[Guntz]

What happened with Aurier? can't seem to find anything online.

 

[RickyVilla]

Come on fellas. Lets have em.
