That sounds way too much of a job for Dr. Tottenham to me, i guess we will have to outscore them i go for a 3-5 then
Should give it the team on Saturday morning...."works wonders" I hear.My tipple while I watch this one...
Written in the stars, Spurs to Lewes.
Think we should change back to the 343 / 523 formation, it suits our squad so much more.
Any formation with a 4 man midfield means either - Dier has to play, Winks has to play out of position or we have no protection for the back 4 at all.
Added to that all of our fullbacks are either to old / not physically / not mentally up to playing fullback and offering the width at attacks and also getting back to cover.

We seemed to be getting away with it for a while but all of the above is catching up with us now...totally agree on the Dembele bit, he was just superb even if his shooting was as awful and Sissoko
Pretty much everyone's been moaning about having shite fullbacks since Walker was sold, when you think of him and Rose in their prime and how much ground they could cover for the team compared to now it's crazy we haven't taken steps to plug those gaps. The DM worked so well for us too with Dembele and/or Vic depending on the game...I can't believe Poch genuinely feels he has the same quality (and flexibility to make changes in those positions) which makes it all the stranger that we haven't been pushing hard to bring in quality replacements rather than cheap buys and gambles likes Serge...it's baffling that the whole club can be looking at these games week in week out seeing the same struggles but not taking action

We can only really upgrade once players are gone though.
Rose kicked up a massive fuss about leaving, and then none of the teams that unsettled him actually wanted him.
Wanyama just bizarrely refuses to go.
Trippier we did shift.
Aurier had some issue with his bird and then never went.
Yeah but surely that approach has to be adapted at times? I agree with the club being sensible on net spend but when we're trying to compete with the best (and keep our top players happy) sometimes you need to do something different...I know it's not as straight forward as just buying a top full back tomorrow but we never seem to be in the hunt for anyone and keep hoping KWP will magically get quicker or Serge will change his mentality.
I also thought Ndombele was gonna be a DM, not sure why we felt the need to spend 65 mill on another CM when there are bigger gaps elsewhere (although he looks a player it feels like an odd buy for the money). I'm sure many peeps have said this already but it feels like the squad has lost balance and the wrong holes are being plugged.
Aye, going on the Ness.. walking from the Lighthouseto the old MoD sight.
Yeh I am mostly looking forward to the smoke house goods ! do you know if it is strictly sit down or can you take food away? pushed for time you see / probably watch the game on my phone haha
Brighton will score tomorrow. You can nearly guarantee it.
We have become that club again.
It could be Pochettino's last stand so whatever message or decisions he takes need to be correct.
And yes like you if not shitting myself hardly sat there with a need for laxatives.
Fcuk his emotions with due respect.
We need all those players who take to the pitch tomorrow to have controlled aggression and be ready to deliver.
That or they will soon have a new man at the helm.
No doubt about that.
