Watford Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Blake Griffin]

dembele is no more creative and no less defensive than either dier or wanyama.

 

[gushayes11]

Very defensive.

Doesn't have to be, if 3 at the back, full backs bomb on. Eriksen deeper getting on the ball, Son hopefully close to Kane.

That Watford team looks very beatable, but when there are 3 former Spurs in the side you just know that Gomes, Kaboul and Capoue will all probably have the game of their lives today.

Expecting Rose to make the difference for us today, he has been phenomenal recently.

 

[thefierycamel]

These are the games where gkn shpuld be getting time off the bench. Worrying that he's not even in the squad

 

[JimmyG2]

Saving Winks for Chelsea.
Good move.

 

[Mustard]

Son, Eriksen, Alli and Kane is defensive?

2 defensive cm against Watford is defensive

 

[Blake Griffin]

2 defensive cm against Watford is defensive

what is dembele then?

it'll most likely be 352(or some variant of) anyway.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Last time they announced the team with Dier next to Wanyama we did play a back 3

Lloris
Dier - Toby - Wimmer
Tripper - Wanyama - Eriksen - Rose
Dele - Kane - Son

 

[gusrowe]

Surprised Sissoko is not starting, played well over the last few games.

More of a link man than the very average Wanyama.

Anyway. We should be looking to pepper the box with high crosses till Gomes starts crying. Maybe that's where Wanyama can be useful.

Playing in-form players doesn't seem to be our thing though tbf. Winks on the bench again is mind-blowing.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Poch did say he was considering 3 at the back for this match.

 

[Mark_147]

Surprised Sissoko is not starting, played well over the last few games.

That's probably because he'll be starting against Chelsea

Thats a bit extreme.

 

[tiger666]

We'll batter them.

 

[phillipjpalmer]

I love the fact we as fans are guessing at the formation, imagine the Watford manager in the changing room trying setup against it. we also conceded early and started slow last game so start solid and change once we have a foothold isn't the worst idea

 

[Johnny J]

Would like to see Winks starting.

Will be interesting to see how Capoue and the Octopus do. I bet the latter has his best game of the season.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Fairly confident were playing 3 at the back. Anytime we've faced a 3 at the back, we've adopted it ourselves

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Half an eye on the Chelsea game I think.

If were playing 4231 with dier

Doesn't have to be, if 3 at the back, full backs bomb on. Eriksen deeper getting on the ball, Son hopefully close to Kane.

If were playing 4231 with dier N wanyama playing cdm then itll be quite defensive. If 3 at the bacl then itll be attack-minded
