Team for NLD

[robbiedee]

We're in a bit of a pickle with Kane, Dembele and Toby unlikely to be involved.

That's our core spine out (apart from Hugo obviously)

Is Rose going to be OK for this one?

Hugo​

Walker Dier Verts Rose

Wanyama
Alli Eriksen​

Lamella Janssen Son

I'd like to see us using some width; Walker and Lamela, Rose and Son both overlapping with each other. Whipping crosses in. I'd like to see some intelligent space and passing created between Alli, Eriksen and Janssen instead of them getting in each others way and offering little in terms of movement.

No doubt we'll see a gritty performance from our boys, I just hope they match their effort with some quality football. Any sloppiness and we'll be punished.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Lol we're never gonna get smashed. We might not be scoring freely but we're bloody hard team to play against. If anything it will suit us playing the gooners as they won't just park the bus.

 

[eddiev14]

We have a dilemma at centre back.

Dier has been messed with. He's been played in lots of different positions since he arrived and last season it was very clear that we found his role and he is an extremely promising holding midfielder. Now Poch has to stop tinkering with him. It's not doing anything for the player or the team, in fact it is negatively impacting both.

He's not a centre back and we should not be playing him there. However, his confidence is shot and he needs to be eased back into the defensive midfield role. In terms of passing he offers more than Wanyama IMO.

Poch has gone on all season about how good Carter-Vickers is and how he's ahead of Wimmer on merit etc.

Ok then, time to play him.

I would play:

Lloris

Walker - CCV - Jan - Rose

Wanyama - Eriksen (if Dembele is injured)

Lamela - Alli - Son

Janssen​

[yankspurs]

Lloris
Walker CCV Vertonghen Rose
Wanyama Winks
Son Onomah N'Koudou
Kane

Vorm, Dier, Trippier, Alli, Eriksen, Harrison, Janssen

Onomah starts because Eriksen and Alli deserve to be dropped. Only reason Eriksen makes the bench is because Edwards is also hurt.

 

[Blake Griffin]

We know for a fact Toby out, and no chance Kane can start

#thfc Pochettino says Harry Kane is fit for the derby and could start. Dembele's a doubt. Alderweireld and Lamela are out.

 

[spursfan77]

Will be good to see the press conference and the context around what he says about Kane. Great news nevertheless.

A couple of Journos are reporting Lamela out but the official site says this:

Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial 30m30 minutes ago
Mauricio on team news: "@HKane will be in the squad. @AlderweireldTob is out. @mousadembele is a doubt so is @eriklamela." #COYS

 

[thebenjamin]

Can't believe anyone's seriously picking Wimmer after how terrible he was against Liverpool?

 

[mattdefoe]

No Toby

 

[bubble07]

Poch - Kane has chance of starting. Toby out but back after international break. Dembele named in Belgium squad and is doubt. Will be assessed tomorrow. Not a big deal but painful

 

[Sp3akerboxxx]

With no Toby, and increasingly looking like no Lamela:

Lloris

Walker Dier Vertonghen Rose

Wanyama, Dembele

Alli, Eriksen, Son

Kane

If Dembele is out:

Lloris

Walker Dier Vertonghen Rose

Wanyama Alli

Son Eriksen N'koudou

Kane

If Kane can only play 50-60 mins I'd still start him, just for the lift it will give us

Weren't you just saying it was ridiculous people were putting him in their line-ups yesterday?

Let's wait and see eh
