Not if you play Dier CB and put Son upfront there isn't.Playing 3 at the back means there's absolutely no pace in the team.

If you play 3 at the back why would you drop one of Sanchez, TA or Jan?Not if you play Dier CB and put Son upfront there isn't.

Nah, my personal suggestion was 5-3-2 Dier CB, Son and Kane upfront with Mousa, Eriksen and Alli in midfield.If that means dropping Kane we did that at OT and we looked toothless.
In Kane's absence the best performance we saw in the false 9 was from Lamela second half at Chelsea. Son needs to either play alongside Kane or from wide, he's kinda nullified as a 9. If Kane's not fit enough, I'd play Lamela as a false 9. with Eriksen, Dele, Son behind.Big decision for Poch to make. The Kane to 10 switch second half I interpret as admitting he isn't anywhere near fit to lead the line, and just gave him a luxury role to do as he wanted. Will his condition improve drastically in the next few days? Will Poch just play him anyway?
But then Son went up top and bar his effort for the goal just looked lost and did fuck all, and that's two games on the trot in the 9 role that he's done very little.
There's a few other options, Lamela (or Alli) as a false 9, Llorente is there in the shadows..... But Poch will be having headaches this week about this selection I think.
Will be this again with Vorm in for Hugo IMO.Team that won at PL with Sky ratings:
Tottenham: Lloris (7), Trippier (7), Vertonghen (7), Sanchez (9), Davies (7), Dier (7), Dembele (7), Alli (7), Eriksen (9), Son (8), Kane (7).
Subs: Lamela (6), Wanyama (N/A), Sissoko (6).
That's a shocking stat, I wish I could see us winning on Sat but our cup record against United (in recent times at least) is abysmal.No mass clamouring for Moura to start?
That died a quick death
How many semi finals is it now since we won one? Eight? Jeez, you'd like to think that run will come to an end at some point.
I’m sure the Away game we had a back 3 ( Toby Dier Verts. )Weve set up with 4 at the back in both league fixtures with them iirc

Think Kane was injured
Why are so many wanting to revert to a back three against a side renown for setting up very defensively? Makes no sense what so ever other than to shoe horn TA back into the side.
