I cannot separate Kaboul, Faz, Dier and Chiriches at CB. I've not been impressed by Fazio. At times he's looked one big dopey motherfucker. I'd really like to see what Dier can do and I'd be willing to give Chiriches another chance in the odd game.
I also cannot separate Lennon and Lamela. I hope Lamela comes good. I hope Lennon continues to do something for us. We'll see what happens.

Seriously, Yedlin? We don't even know if he'll work in his proper position at RB, let alone
over on the fucking left wing! LOL. Optimistic to say the least.
He's played RM. Inverting him doesn't bend his mind it just asks him to cut inside and use his pace and also allows davies to make more runs in behind as yedders has unbelievable recovery and can support him.

There is method to the madness.

The bottom line is we desperately need pace for 4231 to work properly.

Fazio looked a bit donkey-esque in his first few games, but recently he's begun to look assured and commanding. He was very good against Everton and Palace.

Yeah but you're asking an American to come straight out of Major League Soccer and straight into the Barclays Premier League in a brand spanking new position. Pace does not mean he will adapt. Surely you have a more realistic 11 in mind.

I think my final threads of sanity will snap if that ever happens :(

Two proven premier league strikers, available on loan with a grand Tottenham history that could never play effectively together.

How very Tottenham would that be?

You want to play a 21 year old just moved to the country and a new league out of position ahead of Chadli who's scored 6 in 10?

MF isn't new to him.

Has played there for Seattle and USA.

The motivation is to utilise his pace/forward threat and recovery on that flank.

I view him as I do Fredericks - RM/RWf.

Also, we need to get our 3 rotating more, so he'd be on both flanks throughout a game effectively.

It's not like Chadli wouldn't play. That's my preference irt putting a team that can begin to play a balanced 4231 with a rotating AM3.

Stop heckling and stick your 11 up.

I don't see rose as a MF and he hasn't played there as far as I know.

Yedlin has played there for seattle and USA.

rose spent much of his career playing mf up until harry decided to turn him into a full back. when has yedlin ever played lwf? rose and yedlin are very similar players.
