Moussa doesn't play for Tottenham, he still plays for Fulham.

Very happy that Poch played Moose as AM and kept Alli as CM. Good decision, and I really hope he keeps playing the big guy either as AMC or AMR.
Ha, I like that someone disagreed with this.
I agree. Pref in the final third as our open wings are our only weakness right now. We have had way too many issues of players behind Kane losing the ball in the final third and this has left Kane isolated and taking too many pot shots.
If you have someone who can scatter defenders like bowling pins in the final third, it gives room and a partner for Kane to smash the parked bus. I think this type of player can also be a great foil/base for Son. Kane, Dembele and Son in the final third will be a NIGHTMARE for defenders because they have to worry about aspects they have never worried about in the past. Sprinkle in Eriksen and Alli and the goals can come from all angles.
Eriksen and Lamela can add the finesse, Dembele and Kane can destroy. Then it's up to Lamela to keep his form up because Son is waiting in the wings.
Then again, we have has issues with fitness this season so I'm sure by the time Son is fit, Eriksen or Dembele will be injured again, haha. So it sdoes not always have to be a case of either Lamela or Dembele, it can be a case of who is the most fit.
Dembele scoring the winner broke the last team we played. I like the helpless feeling midfielder and defenders get when Dembele takes them on.
It's not ground hog day because time moves on.
Like I defend Dembele, and he gets MOTM and then a goal in his next game when played as an advanced midfielder.

Thanks!
I'll preface this by saying that, I too, am a fan of Dembele. But, remind me of where he was playing for his MOTM performance?
He replaced arguably the best player of the season in Dier. Relieving pressure on our young team in a problem area.
Before being switched to AM in the next game where he scored the winner after we went behind due to Danny Rose sleeping on the runners.
I'm fully aware of this fact and should make sure you understand that my question had nothing to do with that piece of information.
Nothing to do with Danny rose, and nothing to do with where moose was deployed in the following game.
Not really a problem area if, when "arguably the best player of the season" is unavailable, we are able to fill the role with a versitile substitute who has a MOTM performance in his absence.
I agree with some of your points sometimes gibbsy, and I rarely post, so don't take it is me having a dig, but you do need to cool it on the self-appreciating "I told you so" type sludge that you smear across endless threads. You fuel shitstorms with your stubbornness, when your opinion on one or two occasions would suffice.
Up with Dembele! I hope he continues his run of form - wherever he may be deployed.
For me, I would only play one of Dier / Dembele in the side. We have 3 matches in 6 days next week, play one on Monday and Sunday, the other on Thursday in the DM role. Dembele is really not a CAM or a winger. Sure he can keep the ball (what makes him so good at DM under pressure), but he does not have the vision to create goals in the final 3rd. His strength is breaking down the defense from deep and then giving the ball to a more creative player.
Welcome to the forum mate.
I think Moussa's perfect role would be the CM in a 4-3-3 with a DM behind him and a passing CM next to him, unfortunately we don't set up like that.
He needs to keep this form up. Too many times he's shown great talent and not kept it up. But at his best, he's one of our most influential players.

Ha, just seen once again Gibbs was asked a question and refused to answer it. Just embarking on another masturbatory post about being right, despite the answer to said question proving him wrong.

Honestly I would love to see Dembele tried up top as the front man if we need to rest Harry again. NJie won't be able to hack it and Son isn't about. Chadli injured and Lamela not strong enough. There would be very few players who could receive a pass, hold it up or create space for an easy pass to an advancing teammate better than Dembele. His physical strength would be useful for battling with CBs.
