Red Star didn't look that impressive this evening, but 8 of those were in the team that best Liverpool 2-0 last year in Belgrade.
Think changing to 4231 made a big difference - players know and like it rather than the diamond which they seem to hate.
Difficult to criticise any of the players - nobody played badly although I'd guess Kane, Ndombele Son and Lamela were the stars with Dele and Dier both starting to look as if they are getting back into the swing of things nicely.
Glad to see Sanchez pairing Vertonghen at CB, think that's the way to go - without Alderweireld. Davies looked good at LB, Aurier' best match at Spurs perhaps but can he do it under pressure at Liverpool ? Ndombele as creative CM was excellent with Sissoko as DM looked good - don't think Sissoko is disciplined enough to carry that through at Liverpool, possibly change Sissoko for Dier or alternatively play a CM3.
The front 4 looked good with Kane playing his 9/10 role backed up by Son always capable of scoring goals, with Lamela working hard and being creative with Dele with probably his best performance since being injured in February.
Just hope Poch doesn't change the team round too much v Liverpool, and in particular avoids rotating back in Alderweireld and Eriksen whose efforts this season haven't matched other Spurs players.
