Tottenham Hotspur v. Sunderland

[1882]

Dier centre half.
Vertonghen left back.
Sissoko right wing.
DEMBELE

Wait... what?
That is some serious shit... and a real statement of intent!

DIER ... WANYAMA... DEMBELE in the same team!!
I never thought I'd see the day!

...and hopefully Sissoko is a 'clever' inclusion due to his Newcastle connection.
I see what you've done there Poch.

 

[kolyid]

This is a very strange lineup!

 

[Totti]

Surprised both Eriksen AND Lamela have been dropped/rested.

Where does the creativity come from?

 

[kingdawson]

He's on the bench.

Vorm, Davies, Trippier, Eriksen, Lamela, Winks, Janssen.

Ah ok. Good options there should we need it...

 

[VonnegutBusy]

Poch spoke about a lack of aggression from us against Monaco and I think he's just packed the team with as many beasts as possible. Vertonghen at LB with Davies on the bench is bizarre though.

Wanyama, Alli, Dembele and Sissoko is a powerful midfield but I hope we have the guile to break down 11 men behind the ball.

 

[Joe Clash]

Gibbs is in heaven.

 

[Spursinho]

Davies injured?

Davies is getting put on the naughty step after Monaco

 

[Freudlyuchenko]

Looks to me like:

Lloris

Alderweireld - Dier - Vertonghen

Walker - Dembele - Wanyama - Sissoko - Son

Alli

Kane​

 

[Kompreszor]

I feel bad for Sunderland midfielders going against Wanyama, Dembele and Sissoko...

Lets score an early goal so we can restore our confidence levels.

 

[Spursinho]

Looks to me like:

Lloris

Alderweireld - Dier - Vertonghen

Walker - Dembele - Wanyama - Sissoko - Son

Alli

Kane​

It looks to me like 4-4 fucking 2! Like every other bloody line-up. Continental nonsense this formation stuff

 

[Don Giovanni]

Is Nkoufou even on the bench? Why spend £10m+ on a development squad player?

 

[Kompreszor]

Looks to me like:

Lloris

Alderweireld - Dier - Vertonghen

Walker - Dembele - Wanyama - Sissoko - Son

Alli

Kane​

Wanted to say this but with Sissoko left wing and Alli playing in the middle of Son and Kane

3-5-2 (3-4-1-2)

 

[Kristeva]

I'd say that Lallana, Sterling and Rashford are probably better than any of our English players.

Rashford is pretty decent imo, but sterling ffs

did you see his goal yesterday? he almost missed from 2 yards with a woefully poor touch - classic sterling. english speed donkey hyped to the rafters and somehow getting away with it.

 

[Glass Half Full]

Never would have predicted that line up. Maybe Verts at LB due to a lukewarm Davies performance midweek, or Jan's own showing at CB. Big call from the manager, good to see he has the kahunas to make big changes, lets see how it works out.

Vertonghen was poor against Monaco, doesn't want to play at Left Back. I like Poch's style.

 

[Boltonspur]

Gibbs is in heaven.

Was about to post the exact same thing. He will be wanking himself into orbit...

 

[Don Giovanni]

Poch clearly doesn't trust clogger Davies. It's mindboggling why we sold Yedlin who is much better than Trippier and Davies.

 

[Freudlyuchenko]

Ardilles?

Lloris

Alderweireld - Vertonghen

Wanyama - Dier - Dembele

Walker - Sissoko - Kane - Alli - Son​

 

[Spursinho]

Thanks for the mental image
