Team vs. APOEL

[Spurger King]

I doubt we'd do so but its an option if we dont want to play with 2 strikers

I don't think it's much of an option in all honesty.

 

[mark87]

No dembele or eriksen? Christ

Lloris
Aurier Toby Sanchez Davies
Dier Winks
Sissoko Son
Kane Llorente

Vorm, Trippier, KWP, Foyth, GKN, TOB, Edwards

Possibly start Edwards at the #10 instead of playing 2 strikers.

Never gonna happen.

 

[journeyman]

I think he'll start Llorente and ask Kane to drop a little deeper. Will be interesting to see if it works.

 

[M.I.B.]

Hearing Georgiou travelled?

(apologies if already mentioned)

 

[Bulletspur]

I mean that so far, while hes been impressive at points and shown promise, he's never had the sort of game which announces him, makes it ipossible to drop him next match etc. The home game V Millwall was such an opportunity, he was playing in a strong side but didn't impose as we all want him to. Hence, I want him to do so tomorrow.

So its up to him, not Poch

I think he'll start Llorente and ask Kane to drop a little deeper. Will be interesting to see if it works.

Kanes passing ability and vision is greatly undervalued in the media. He puts some cracking balls through.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

So its up to him, not Poch

Yes this is exactly what I've said, twice now. I want to see Winks start fulfilling his potential, grab his opportunity and make himself key to Pochettino's plans.

Am I speaking foreign or something?

4-1-2-1-2 Midfield diamond

Lloris
Aurier Alderweireld Sanchez Davies
Dier
Sissoko Winks
Son
Kane Llorente

Bench: Vorm, Trippier, KWP, Foyth, GKN, TOB, Georgiou

[Mr Pink]

Will Eriksen be OK for the weekend did Poch say?

 

[bceej]

Lloris
Alderweireld Sanchez Davies
Aurier Dier Sissoko Son
Winks Kane
Llorente​

Subs: Vorm, Foyth, Trippier, Walker-Peters, N'Koudou, Oakley-Boothe, Georgiou

Doubt we'll actually line up like that but I think that would leave us strongest, personally.

 

[coys200]

Georgiou ahead of Edwards as bench option is pretty baffling tbh.

 

[npearl4spurs]

Georgiou ahead of Edwards as bench option is pretty baffling tbh.

was just going by the squad on UEFA and the fact that Edwards hasn't gotten a look in at all. I would put him there, but I'm guessing Georgiou will be the Son replacement if needed

Plus I was pretty impressed with him in preseason so maybe he can show something

 

[bceej]

Georgiou ahead of Edwards as bench option is pretty baffling tbh.

Not part of squad as far as I can tell.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Finally we are a Champions League team, and what we have to come up with is 442. You can't make it up. I like it.

 

[dagraham]

Eriksen is the most important player for how we play, massive loss.

Really puts the scrutiny on Dele's inability to act as an adult, his stupid behaviour has really cost us these past couple of years.

Scraping the barrel for midfielders.

As stupid as his sending off was, shouldn't the club shoulder some of the blame for leaving us so reliant on Eriksen?

After thinking it over I've made a change.

Dier Winks
Sissoko Son

Bench: Vorm, GKN, Llorente, Trippier, Foyth, Edwards, TOB

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I think he'll start Llorente and ask Kane to drop a little deeper. Will be interesting to see if it works.

That's the obvious solution, to me. If we don't start Llorente tomorrow, with two of our best front four missing, then why did we buy him? Kane's a natural No.10 anyway, the most two-footed player in our squad, great vision and long-range shooting ability.

 

[whitesocks]

Can Sanchez play on the left? I think he's a righty.

We need Dier in midfield, so perhaps Davies plays as LCB,
Then Son or Trippier play as the left wing back.

 

[spursfan77]

Ffs I've just seen the Eriksen news.

It's the same as last season when we had loads of injuries in October and it fucked our champions league games.

Got a feeling this will be a draw. We will be so blunt in attack without Eriksen and Dele.
