Team v Watford

Lloris
Aurier Sanchez Jan Rose
Dier Winks
GKN lamela Son
Kane

Vorm; Foyth; KWP; Dele; Eriksen; Edwards; Llorente

Why the fuck not I say. Play that team on the counter and bring the other two on after 50-60 minutes when erik and gkn get tired. You can't reward shit performances and you have to reward good ones. Having said that all 4 of our fullbacks have turned in shite games over the last two matches but i think serge and danny offer more going forward, at least with their ability to keep running and beat a player/make runs behind the defensive line

 

[ajspurs]

Agree with that. Just wish we’d bought a better back up so we could actually rotate with confidence.

Indeed. Worse thing is I think we swapped Llorente for what may have been better back up. Would still rather see Janssen fighting and chasing people down than what I see with Llorente at the moment.

 

['O Zio]

Alli and Erisken need dropping, end of. Perfect timing for Lamela to come back and give them some much needed competition.

 

[gp13tot]

Need to shake it up a bit, too many underperforming at present. Not convinced lamela is fit to start

Drop Lloris until he can learn to save shots from outside the box and not come rushing out when he has no chance of getting the ball)
Rest Dier (why he has been poor)
Drop Sissoko (obvious why)
Drop Dele
Rest/Drop Eriksen (tired and poor)

I would ideally like to give Eriksen a deeper role with Lamela taking on the creative role , including giving him the set pieces where Eriksen’s delivery has been so poor. But Watford will be a physical challenge so reluctantly perhaps play Dier instead.

Go for the throwing Dembele forward trick.

Can't see Lamela starting mind.

 

[Krafty]

Really tricky to predict what with injuries and fitness and the like, but if fit....

Son must start
Sissoko must not
Lamela will start on the bench but hopefully get 30 minutes
Whether playing with 3 centre backs or 2, we must play 2 proper central midfielders (including Dier in that). 2 from Dembele, Winks, Dier

[pablo73]

Agree with the OP although Dier really should be dropped as well but not sure who would come in for him

 

[pablo73]

Who is Skipp?

 

[hughy]

Don't think Lamela will start this. He'll be on the bench, and hopefully get 20-30 minutes. He can't play against APOEL, so I think that will give him enough time to prepare to start against either Stoke or most likely Brighton.

As for Saturday:

Lloris
Trippier - Sanchez - Vertonghen - Rose
Winks - Dier
Dembele
Eriksen - Son
Kane​

I don't fucking know. There are so many players who I don't even believe deserve to start. I'd argue based on recent performances, only Kane, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Son and at a push Lloris are guaranteed starters. The rest could all be rotated/dropped.

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

3 at the back is not the problem and I feel that is still our best formation. The problem at present is Eriksen and Dele completely out of form. Said it after West Brom and I'll say it again Eriksen has to be dropped. Dele plays because we have no real alternative at present. Winks back will make a difference.

 

[coys200]

Need to abandon single central pivot and go back to basics with Dier as an out and out DM. So bring davies or foyth into back 3. I’d give dele a chance to find some form. He had 2 week break so shouldn’t be tired. Eriksen defo needs a break.

With Lamela for dele half time if no improvement.

 

[MattPhilpott]

I feel for Eriksen I do, I imagine that the Int. Break has drained him mentally and physically, but he has been awful recently and could use a rest.

Dele however is pissing me right off, prime example of being given too much too soon, struts around with his #DELE20 branding and definitely seems to have an air about him that he is bigger than the club, would not shock me to hear rumours soon...

Would like to see Lamela start, might be early for that though, would rather get him 60 mins off the bat and always bring Eriksen on for him to add more zip. Sonny deserves a start, a criminally under rated player.

I would quite like to have a go at a back 3, let Rose and Aurier have a go at the defenders, with Dembele and Winks in the middle!

Have some wild card subs on the bench as well, would love to see GKN come out and attack tired defenders, maybe see Edwards get some time too

Lloris
Dier - Sánchez - Vertonghen
Aurier - Winks - Dembele - Rose
Lamela - Son
Kane

Subs: Vorm, Foyth, Trips, TOB/Edwards, GKN, Eriksen, Llorente

 

[dbspurs]

It will be Trippier , Davies, Son and Winks in for Aurier, Rose, Sissoko and Dembele.

He won't drop Ali or Eriksen. Dembele only starts once a week.

I really can't see him picking anything different.

Me neither but we could only hope

 

[thePessimist]

Be interesting to see how we approach this game. We should know exactly what to expect.

Remember what Troy Deeney said after beating the scum? Imagine that's what they think of us too
