I think Poch will alternate players (and systems) until Kane is back...
To be fair, no one (except David Pleat seemingly) saw that forward line up pre-match...
It was always felt it would be Eriksen, Lamela, Dele OR Son to sit behind Janssen... not ALL FOUR!
I'm sure City prepared for the game WITH Janssen in our line-up...
So for us to be able to change it, and reap the rewards shows both our adaptability, and Poch's shrewd decision making.
Make no mistake, Janssen will feature again before Kane is back, simply 'cos he HAS to... but I agree, in certain games, it's maybe best just to go with who's in form, rather than have to risk a player who NEEDS a goal so desperately to lose confidence by not scoring.
Vince may be ready and hungry for WBA after being dropped on Sunday, and having had the International break!
Still confident he can start scoring SOON!

That bit in bold is key. Teams will now have to wait until the last minute to plan how to play against us because our line up can be so flexible.
why do we need to play him against WBA?
Because I feel we need a person that can occupy the CB's as they will stay back and he can put them under pressure rather than expecting them to come out and play through them with Son & Dele. We do not need him to defend. His extra combativeness will help.
Just scored a very good goal against Belarussia, also involved in two other goals.
He looks like he sees dead people.
Vincent can shoot !
Tottenham Nutmeg continues!
Damn that was nice!
You heard it from me here that he will prove all the doubters wrong.... he is going to become a Spurs legend!!!!
