Team v Stoke

[Bulletspur]

Pretty sure the team will be:

Lloris

Walker
Toby
Jan
Rose

Bentaleb
Mason

Dembele
Eriksen
Chadli

Kane

I agree but not that I agree (make sense?)

 

[npearl4spurs]

Well, I disagree.

The formation doesn´t say anything about how attacking we are. For high pressing and (very) attacking wing backs, I think it makes sense to balance the midfield with a destroyer - especially against Stoke.

Bentaleb and Dembele will also have more freedom to press/roam when they have cover.

Your selection says everything about how attacking we would be. a four of Eriksen-Bentaleb-Dembele-Lamela has not shown enough creativity, pace, or consistently for us to threaten scoring that much.

Hoping to see Alli and Pritchard aswell for subs!

Looking forward to Saturday COYS

I would say your probably spot on with anticipating what Poch will do.

Think it'll be a game where our in game tactics and substitutions will be crucial and I'd like to see Alli, Pritchard and Lamela introduced - interesting to see the dynamic with these players too.

Yep I think that will be the team. Also agree that the subs bench will be interesting, I'd like to see exciting and attacking subs and variety on the bench, even without a striker.

Something like:

Vorm.
Dier - Covers RB, CB and could shore up midfield if needed.
Davies - LB and CB in emergency if Dier is needed elsewhere.
Alli - CM offers energy/legs.
Carroll - CM/AM passer.
Pritchard - Left side cover. Flair option.
Lamela - Right side cover. Flair option.

This makes sense to me.. However you forgot Trippier, he will most certainly be on the bench at least (Still expect him to become first choice at some point in the season.

If I could I'd put Dier next to Mason and drop Bentaleb to the bench. This adds more balance + Nabil looks well off the pace at present.

You need versatility on the bench in my opinion. With Dier covering right back that means Walker/Trippier always miss out for me.

Trippier had a decent record for Burnley against Stoke last season, involved in a goalless draw and a 2-1 win but Walker wasn't involved in either of our losses in fairness.

Reckon Poch will still go with Walker for this one, he had a good game last week and was unlucky with the og.

Lloris

Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose

Mason Bentaleb

Lamela Pritchard. Eriksen
Kane​

 

[michaelden]

OMG! We are going to lose so badly. They have Bojan & Shaquiriririri and that other guy and their manager is amazeballs-Hughes and they like it norf on a cold wet night etc...


phew, got that out the way so now I can just enjoy the game

 

[THOWIG]

Lloris

Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose

Mason Bentaleb

Lamela Pritchard. Eriksen
Kane​

Think this would work really nicely. The interplay between the 3 behind Kane could be really exciting.

 

[Hotspur88]

The atmosphere won't be the greatest but I haven't sat in that part of the West Stand so don't want to comment on the view. Unless you're behind the pillar though, I have never encountered a seat that gives a poor view of the pitch-because of the closeness to the pitch and size of the stadium...

I'm sure given the amount of people on here though, someone has sat/sits there that can advise...

After hours of refreshing I managed to get two great seats basically right next to the Stoke bench a few rows up to the side

I am now looking for travel advice in the help thread

 

[wrd]

I think we will go for

Lloris Walker Alder Vert Rose Bentaleb Dier Lamela Eriksen Chadli Kane

 

[yankspurs]

Lloris
Walker Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Bentaleb Mason
Dembele Lamela Eriksen
Kane

Vorm, Dier, Alli, Pritchard*, Onomah, Townsend**, Chadli

*If Pritchard cant go, then Winks
**If Townsend cant go, then Yedlin.

I am going by the probably sales soon or Carroll and Fazio. Stoke is going to sit back, so we need an attacking bench with pace. So if Townsend is not 100% fit, then Yedlin should be on the bench because we need a pacey option.
