What do you think of more 4-3-3
Bentaleb - Stambouli - Mason
With 3 of - Lamela/Chadli/Eriksen/Kane/Soldado in front
Would that make us more solid do you think? I dont mind that formation, but GB does like his deep ballplayers.....

Pascal Chimbonda
I like the look of that although to be honest no clue if Stambouli is any good or not yet
Raoul Duke
Gordon Durie
That's alright, none of us have.
I think he comfortably looks like he will be a good player, I have no qualms about saying that in much the same way I said so about Chadli early on in his Spurs career I thought he had the tools.
Sometimes it just takes a while for a player to really stamp his authority on things....
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
Hopefully he'll be prepared to work a lot harder than Chadli!
At least he scores some goals and gets into the box

Sonny Walters
He does and should be played as a striker or behind the IMO. At LAM he is leaving Rose to fend for himself way too often.

In 4-2-3-1 it's supposed to be the CMs who protect the FBs mostly
Rorschach
Sonny Walters
Sure they can cover on occasion but I disagree that it should be the default action of the CMs to cover in front of the FBs. The left AM should at least occupy the space even if they can't tackle for toffee. The middle of the park is wide open when one of the CM's goes wide to cover. A good example of this is in the Liverpool match where Bentaleb's heat map had him covering left all game as Chadli was high and tucked in mostly, and as result Capoue struggled badly to cope and was effectively overrun.

Consequently the right fullback should be helping Capoue out by not attacking and share in defending the central area. What I don't understand is that we have both fullbacks high up when only one can be useful at a time.
To provide width and stretch the opposition? Nonetheless our play tends to be narrow still....

If that is the way the manager wants the system to be played.

Sounds like Spurs, stretch the play but only play through the middle yet still be wide open to attack, or a ball over the top, or down the channel, or anything really.
This next performance is VERY important as we have been seriously poor recently, no movement, no belief, fragile, no tempo... can't wait to find out what happens.

I guess the point is about balance.. How far will you go throwing players into attack before compromising the defence. We've got our balance wrong at the moment. You can't substitute lack of quality in attack with quantity from defence without paying a price.

Cant wait to see him beside Mason.
