Match Threads Spurs vs Watford - Match Thread

[jolegend]

Happy with 3 at the back. Pleased to see no Dier or Tripper. We need to win this one!

 

[Mr Pink]

Llorente won't play Saturday. Lamela will start against Newcastle with Son through the middle.

 

[Timberwolf]

3 at the back against Watford? Worked like a treat last time...

 

[Mr Pink]

No Doucouré for them is a big plus.

 

[easley91]

That XI is still strong enough to win for me.

 

[hutchiniho]

Shame this 11 didn’t start Sunday.

(Obviously Son wasn’t available)

Good luck team tonight hopefully back to winning ways think it will be close as we are bound to concede we seem to always give silly goals away.

Yeah, but Llorente?!

 

[yankspurs]

I see the usual suspect is spamming everything saying happy to see no certain player

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Yeah, but Llorente?!

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

That is not a bad team at all. Perhaps Lamela for Llorente and Son up top but other than that, not bad at all.

Plus Lamela's best performances this season have all been off the bench. Always plays best as an impact player.

 

[dtxspurs]

Excited to see that back 5 for the first time.

Still not buying it!

 

[Mr Pink]

Think Poch has selected a powerful team to combat Watford's physical style of play.

 

[yiddopaul]

I've never been so pleased to see Son, Eriksen and Sissoko on the team sheet!

Why Llorente?

 

[AssaTM]

Am I right in thinking this game isn't on TV anywhere in the UK?

Just ask him out

While Llorente has his limitations, we're better off playing to his strengths. I would hope we test their back line with balls in the air early and often to llorente while having Son, Eriksen et al running in the space behind. It would be fun to see Danny boy sneak in and get a goal. Whether it is in the box or outside the box (think that glorious strike against Woolwich on his debut) he may be due.

Lloris (C), Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Son, Llorente.
