Haha, just been watching that for 5 mins straight, smiling more on each loop, ended up walking around the house to shake it off. Campbell looks so awkward and puny... Thx!

Not yet, at any rate. I think Dier is the future, and he's got the pieces to be a fucking monster of a centre back. But Fazio has a lot of big game experience, and against Chelsea in particular, has taken the worst Costa can dish out, and given more back. And not gotten caught for it.I think his speed isnt that big of an issue when he has Walker and Jan alongside him. Plus he has experience and positioning skills which he uses to compensate.
He's made some great last ditch tackles, great for defending corners, is aggressive and strong.
Personally, I dont think any forwards look and Dier and say "oh shit, dont want to get into a collision with that"
Couldnt agree moreI'd try Lamela-Dembèlè-Eriksen for a while as the three behind Kane. I think Chadli has lost just about everything since his personal tragedy and once he bounces back he can take Lamela's spot. Fazio and Dier should compete, form will decide. Stambouli needs games to give Mason and/or Nabil some rest. At some point we are going to have to give Ade a game too. Can't do worse than Bobby is at the moment.
Mate we were one mis hit with a keeper acting like a cat that just had its tail trodden on, and a missed penalty that happened to come straight back Kane, away from an implosion here that would have made Hiroshima look like a firework.
Dont let the 2-2 fool you.
That was terrible. An awful, awful show.
But see I dont get this sentiment.
You've just talked yourself out of ever criticising a line up, formation or sub, because the manager knows best.
Of course he does. Of course Poch knows more than me.
Will I ever condone bringing on Paulinho to see out a game though when we need someone like Stambouli to come on? No....fuck no. Never.
yea pretty much, imo regular tossers who strongly and regularly criticise professional football managers selections are idiots
i wouldn't be surprised if poch was being pressured or urged to try and make a player of paulinho, levy does have previous for this sort of thing
This is our best lineup by far,play this at Wembley and I think we can do Chavs COYSIve calmed down from the nasty stress that was furiously building up in me today, caused by our beloved Spurs. The 2-2 helped. But, we all know that was a shit result really, and the worst game of the season performance wise.
Whats up with the tinkering?
For me it should be, when fit:
.......................................Lloris
Walker.....................Fazio............Jan...................Rose
.......................Bentaleb................Mason
.....................................Dembele
............Chadli..................................Eriksen
...................................Kane
It worked very well, with Lamela in there, but Chadli is the better player.
Regarding Rose and Mason, we have Davies and Stambouli who should be breathing down their necks, and introduced the moment the other two start costing the team.
Mason has been poor for the last few games....yet because Stambouli has been exiled for no reason, we are not even in a position where he can slip straight in.
Why has Poch suddenly dismantled everything to give Townsend his place back out of the blue?
Lamela and Townsend together is a no go.
A Plan B, for me would be to use some wing play and two up top. A classic 442.
.......................................Lloris
Walker.....................Fazio............Jan...................Rose
Lamela................Bentaleb........Mason.................Chadli
....................................Soldado
.................................................Kane
Im not sure whats going on at the minute, but now is really not the time for experimenting.
Of course there will be variations of all sorts, but IMO we need a fixed 11, and an actual game changing back up plan for mid game, that is not based on guess work and a mish mash of players doing whatever they want.
Thoughts???
P.S, any hysterics about this meaning I want Poch out you need'nt bother joining the thread.
Whats up with the tinkering?
Lloris
Walker - Fazio - Vertonghen - Rose
Bentaleb - Mason
Lamela - Eriksen - Chadli
Kane
What it means is that 75% of people prefer Totti 's team to yours. Seeing that it was the same team, that must tell you something.We both say the exact same team. I get 1 agree, 1 like and 1 disagree.
You get 4 agrees. The forum summed up in a nutshell. It's who says what that matters, not what they say, disappointing really.
"I think idea A! Well, you're a cunt so it's a stupid idea. Well, i think idea A too! Well, that's a brilliant idea, why did no one mention it"
What really? You? You cheeky cunt sammy. You argue about Jennings not being Tottenham and you give car space to this trolling cunt? I'm afraid fuck off this time - you've never spammed up a thread yourself now have you? Fuck off with your massive hypocrisy.Can you two just fuck off, seriously
That git thinks he's your fucking friend - but seriously your request made me laugh - you have no shame comradeCan you two just fuck off, seriously
I like Totti's team, as when those players are on form and 'click', then the world better watch out!! There are a few that can be interchanged (I'm thinking Rose/Mason/Fazio/Lamela) which wouldn't mess up the formation too much. We need to take into account the relative youthfulness of much of the team and the fact that they have only had this season to get used to a new coach, a new system and each other. If we can keep the core of the team together for another season (ie tell Madrid, Man C and all those other super-rich clubs to keep their mucky paws of our key players), then maybe, just maybe, we can put together a genuine bid for a top three finish next year. Here's hoping!
