I saw 3 out there it was just that Son was shoehorned in on the left for the defensive shift. For me, and even though he was instrumental yesterday, Lamela should have gone on the left of Winks and Son up front.

I'm pretty sure it was a 4231 once Dembele went off, and a cursory glance at the who scored heat maps would seem to confirm that?
Idk I look at Son’s and albeit the hottest part us up the field, he was on the left in the middle third quite a bit too. On defense it was Sissoko Winks Son with Lamela falling back a bit more. That’s how I saw it. Son for me was clearly playing on the left side of Winks when under pressure
I'm sure Son and Lamela were told to drop and help, as they should anyway. But have a look on whoscored's heat maps and touch maps and how they played and I'm pretty sure it suggests it was an orthodox 4231 pretty much.

Gotchya. I guess so, but I just have this image when Son first came on that he was lined up next to Winks with Lucas above him and Lamela above Sissoko on the right. I know the 3 shifted about a great majority, but I thought for the most part, Son was a bit deeper, specifically when in defense.
He was my MOTM.
Yeah, but you can expect that from a young lad, he's only played @ 70 games. (minutes anyone ?)
I think both of us think he can become a very good player.
Harry Winks is getting back to his best ? And no DM beside him so he has to do that role too !
I was lucky to see Dave Mackay and Danny Blanchflower and John White so cannot look further than them
Spurs had something like 30 shots tonight, can't think of too many matches where we have had that number, and for every shot a chance was created.....
Good point.
Would like to see a list of those with most created chances.
Edit - Actually, just seen Winks created more chances than ANYONE. Having 30 shots or not, that's pretty damn impressive when we have Eriksen, Dele and Lucas all on the pitch at the same time as him and he was playing deeper than all of them.
