Southampton Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[tototoner]

Saintsfc side v #THFC: Gazzaniga; Chambers, Hooiveld, Lovren, Fox; S.Davis, Schneiderlin, Cork, Lallana; Rodriguez; Lambert

 

[DFF]

Not a bad lineup by any means. Depends what the formation and tactics are though...

 

[Kendall]

Midfield could get roasted.

 

[scat1620]

Lamela, Eriksen and Soldado all in the same team? Does not compute!

(SOOOO happy to see these guys start together!)

 

[TottenhamLegend]

Win, lose or draw, this is a team to play the Spurs way! COYS

On paper that team is dreadful. Championship standard. Shows what an amazing job manager is doing.

 

[Bofbro]

Quite a sexy team. Siggy as a winger though is the only negative in a 4-4-2

He will be in the centre with Eriksen and Lamela wide imo

 

[JamesTheYiddo]

Could be a good day! COYS!

 

[Grapo2001]

Not much defence in that midfield. Can't see Dembele and eriksen defending any better than Dembele and siggy did. Bit hung ho for an away team, but should make for a good game

 

[Kendall]

Capoue over Siggy and I'd be content.

 

[Spurger King]

Most exciting looking team of the season so far.

 

[gorky]

Hoddle saying he would take the job, even if it was on a short term basis til the end of the season

 

[gorky]

Starting XI: Lloris. Walker. Dawson. Chiriches. Rose. Lamela. Dembele. Eriksen. Sigurdsson. Soldado. Adebayor #THFC

Attacking much?!!!

 

[tototoner]

Looks like a proper 4-3-3 to me.

With Lamela up front, maybe

 

[mark87]

looking forward to see ade and soldado starts together, so glad to see erik get some game time too. coys.

 

[L-man]

Worried that all the attacking players is going to restrict Dembeles ability to get forward and carry the ball. Cork, Schneiderlin and Davis is quite a strong midfield, it could get tough for him defensively. Would have preferred Dembele with Capoue/Sandro in midfield.

Other than that, it's a decent team.I don't think it's as simple as 4-4-2 as Ade drops a lot and makes it more of a 4-2-3-1, 4-5-1 whichever takes your fancy

Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial12s
Our subs today - Friedel, Capoue, Fredericks, Bentaleb, Holtby, Chadli, Defoe. #THFC

Would love to see Bentaleb

 

[13VanDerBale13]

wow, what a line up. surprised to see no capoue with dembele.

 

[pablo73]

Not sure what to think. Very happy that Lamela, Soldado & Eriksen are all starting and that Defoe and Lennon are not. Very concerned at who in midfield is going to give the defence any kind of protection. Capoue in for Siggy and that would have been so much better. Anyway, we shall see.

Feel more confident now, going for a Saints 3-1 win
