Sissoko? Or of course he could just mean how he's transitioning Foyth into one.
Probably Foyth. Could see Sissoko as a RWB though.

A fair few reporters on Podcasts predicting he doesn't last the season. To be fair the majority seem to be happier with our business than those on here, putting us 3rd easily.The media seem to want to derail us, by going on and on and on about the same old topics.
Do you seriously think that Poch is going to let on what we're up to, behind the scenes? We're not going to announce anything until the ink is dry on the contract.
Some of our own supporters need to have a word with themselves too, if they don't realise that Daniel Levy does his best in the interest of our club. I'm not saying he always gets it right, but we need to realise we are in a better place now, under his stewardship.
Clubs who don't live within their means are just asking for trouble.

I think he sees Foyth as a RB. I was thinking today that it could turn into a 3 with Sessegnon pushing up the left wing, its something I would like to see.
Problem with this formation to me is that it pulls out Son and Lucas who are two or our best attacking options. I'm not at all against deploying KWP and Sessegnon as wing backs, it seems like they'd flourish in the role. It just seems like it's not the best use of our attacking assets.Would not surprise me on little bit if by the new year we're playing 3 at the back. Sessegnon being played as a left wing back whilst phasing Danny Rose out. Giving Sanchez a lot more minutes as we look to prepare without Alderweireld (Allowing Dier to play at centre half too). Foyth/KWP competing at right wing back.
Midfield 3 of Lo Celso/Winks/NDombele too.
LlorisCould also be quite a tasty alternative. Very similar to the 3 at the back we used to play during 16/17 in terms of formation.
Alderweireld - Sanchez - Vertonghen
KWP - Ndombele - Winks - Sessegnon
Dele - Lo Celso
Kane
I actually meant a wonky back 4Would not surprise me on little bit if by the new year we're playing 3 at the back. Sessegnon being played as a left wing back whilst phasing Danny Rose out.

The full back whisperer!
FB is a specialised position which requires many attributes and is not as easy as some people seem to think.Don't believe the latter part of that statement, he would much prefer an instant solution i.e bring in a rb .
We have enough creativity in the middle of the park to cover up for Sissokos lack of crosses. What we do need is a beast of a right-back who runs for 90 minutes and excels defensively, and Sissoko is absolutely incredible in that aspect. He used to cover for Tripps most of the time, which meant that our transitions were not as fast since we lacked a midfielder when we got the ball. I for one am absolutely on the "Sissoko at RB" hype train.Reminds me of that post I once saw.
Sissoko has all the attributes to run and up down the right hand side, using his power and pace to beat his man over and over again only to put in a shit cross.
So basically, we've finally found our Kyle Walker replacement.
I don't like making predictions of any kind, especially before a ball has been kicked. I just HOPE that we gel quickly, avoid serious injuries and play some good football. A trophy would be nice, but hate to admit it, top 4 is essential to our continuing progress. I'm also realistic enough to know that managers come and go, but it will be a sad day for me when Poch does move on, stability is rare in football, I'm hoping we will buck the trend.A fair few reporters on Podcasts predicting he doesn't last the season.

Hoping some of the kids make a breakthrough into the squad. We can use some enthusiasm and hunger to get through a long seasonPoch is right, it's time we won a trophy, we are a consistent CL side now and I don't want us to become like Woolwich where top 4 is our everything, we are better than that.
Think as a club we need to follow our managers winning mentality and expect more rather than just being thankful for where we are because it's the best time to be a spurs supporter.

We have to beat City to win the EPL ... that probably means getting an extra 20 points
We have to get decent draws and/or beat our top six rivals, and play 65+ games to win a domestic cup
We have to get decent draws and/or beat the best in Europe to win the CL
Sure it's "time we won a trophy" but it's not like they're giving them away at the local Shell garage ...
You would think but nothing about our transfer window suggested we were ever very interested in signing a RB, which makes me believe Poch thought it wasn’t much of a priority.Don't believe the latter part of that statement, he would much prefer an instant solution i.e bring in a rb .
