Can't believe Sissoko continues to be shoehorned in to the setup. Add more creativity along side ND ffs.

 

[SmithAndJones]

Extraordinarily negative line up for a home match against a bottom three side.

 

[total spurs]

Can't see where our attack is going to come from, unless some Harry hopefuls out of defence

 

[total spurs]

Honestly are we fecking doomed to just trying to win by scoring and then trying to stop them....

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

An underwhelming line up. It's Fulham FFS.

It'll be interesting to see where Winks lines up. Maybe alongside PEH with Sissoko pushed further up?

 

[Critical_Spur]

Extraordinarily negative line up for a home match against a bottom three side.

Yes, pathetic against a team that might not be fit for this game, we are home and a top 4 contender whilst the other side hoping to retain PL status.

Far too conservative for my linking. WInks' creativity is like a boiled potato, just happens to add to a collection.

Extraordinarily negative line up for a home match against a bottom three side.

Agreed, too conservative. Lots of attack on the bench maybe to push it second half.

 

[SmithAndJones]

Don't even have Toby in the side to play the long balls out of defence.

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

Fo some ridiculous reason I really thought this was the game Jose would switch the emphasis to our attack.

 

[SmithAndJones]

Agreed, too conservative. Lots of attack on the bench maybe to push it second half.

That seems to be the case, but why.

 

[Gary Onedaysoon]

So on the bench we have three defenders, three attackers and two attacking midfielders. All of three natural CMs are playing together.

 

[Nick Real Deal]

Jose has goaded Parker pre match to rile him up. Maybe to invite them to come at us instead of sitting deep. Then the Son and Kane machine can break free.

 

[Walthamstow wanderer]

He must know something . Maybe the ones that had the virus are playing , and will run out of steam in the second half, that’s when we bring the subs on to attack .
But what do I know!!!

 

[SpursEagle]

Agree with you all on the team selection. Shockingly negative considering the team we are playing ... all due respect to Fulham.

 

[Nick Real Deal]

Can't believe Sissoko continues to be shoehorned in to the setup. Add more creativity along side ND ffs.

Aurier is playing so Sissoko has to !!

 

[xvausch]

New spurs philosophy.... "You only need to score but one to win the match."

Should be a snore-fest.

.

 

[Nick Real Deal]

Aurier and Reggie hopefully will give some width threat.

 

[Spesh-Spur]

Aurier is playing so Sissoko has to !!

Exactly, it’s as if Aurier can’t be trusted without Sissoko to ‘shield’ and support him!

 

[muttley]

Check out this line-up

Lloris
Aurier, Toby, Dier, Reggie
Winks, Hojbjerg
Dele/Gio, Ndombele, Son
Kane

It has 2 fast, attacking full-backs pushing their opposition back over the half way line. It has Hojbjerg and Winks who can recycle the ball quickly and get it to the 4 amazing talented attacking players ahead of them.

Here's the rub though. There is only one difference between my attacking line-up and the one that Jose picked tonight. Look at how just one player switch has changed all of your perceptions. Look at how everyone doesn't trust Jose to organise any eleven offensively.

Mad isn't it?
