Love people knocking our defenders, especially the full backs. We've conceded 5 goals in 7 games FFS! This is Tottenham Hotspur we don't usually have a record like that.
Edit: 2 of those are penalties, one conceded by the player a lot seem to want to replace Walker. Strange.

... so if anyone has a spare?
It doesn't mean he has to start every game, I just think we should utilise Townsend while he's in some decent form.
I would drop Chadli and either play Alli in the attacking three behind Kane (along with Son and Eriksen) or play a 4-3-3 with the exact setup
JDK
posted with Alli, Dier and Mason in midfield and Son, Kane and Eriksen up front. Obviously this is all dependent on Mason being fit.

There are 540 tickets on StubHub. Adults starting at £33.50.
Got be done.

I personally don't see Poch dropping Lamela for this one. He's been in better form than most people give him credit for, and as I said, in our last 5 Goals, he has either made the tackle that started it, the pass that found the finisher of the move or the goal to round it all off on 4 occasions. The other goal being a corner.
I know the away end in Sunderland is in the gods but I can't have imagined Townsend causing all sorts of problems. He continued that form in midweek and created loads in the hour that he played. He deserves a start.HES NOT IN DECENT FORMochfacepalm:
Couldn't argue with a decision to play Lamela right now, to be honest.
I just checked... ohhhhhh I had clicked on 'Premium Hospitality' that explains why the prices were so high.... damn! Turns out I need to have been a One Hotspur member by Mid August... this is what I get for only going to Europa League games
He created chances from set pieces. Something he is by no means an expert on. You can try and convince yourself that he is on form all you want, but he is probably one of our worst players right now. If we are going to start him against Woolwich we might as well turn up half an hour early to appreciate the peace before our clubs arsehole never looks the same again.
Only Man City have conceded less goals so far this season.
Townsend was the worst player on the pitch against a side from a country I can't even spell. He should be at the bottom of the team sheet.

Shame. I would use my mates card but he is on hols somewhere. Sorry.
No worries, I'll try and get one from Spurs Tickets on Twitter... or someone feeling generous *wink,wink* TFC Forum.
Sorry, but anybody who wants to drop Jan for Wimmer, on the back of a EL game against Qarabag should do one. My line-up against Woolwich would be[formation=4231, Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies/Rose, Dier, Mason/Alli, Son/Lamela, Eriksen, N'jie/Son, Kane][/formation]
If Mason is fit play him. If Lamela starts on the right, I'd like to see Son on the right. Wouldn't mind an N'jie start either.

I don't think any of our full backs are top drawer. Walker is particularly grating for me because he has absolutely no footballing braincells whatsoever, he ALWAYS makes a stupid mistake that leads to a chance or a goal, he scored an own goal in our only defeat so far, his crossing is bollocks and his decision making possibly the worst in the team-how many free kicks have you seen him (and Rose at times tbf!) give away in our own half by bundling players over, silly tackles, obstruction etc?
hes prob still a better option overall than Trippier who from what I've seen looks mediocre tho has 'good crossing stats'.
The four of them are completely interchangeable which is a bit depressing.
