4-2-3-Greaves

Now I am at a quandry as to what to do in choosing between Mabbutt and Mackay. I do think Mackay should be in central midfield, but I also believe he is the better out of him and Mabbutt. Mackay it is then......

If we are going for 4-2-3-1 then he is a shoe in for one of the sitting positions. On that basis, I think that we should put Mabbs through.

I take it you voted for Mabbs in the beginning.

Of course

Yes, but I went for Mackay on the basis he was the better option compared to Mabbs. This is difficult!

How about we pick the 11 best players and then try to work out a formation?

Ha! I like that!

We'd end up playing 1-1-5-3

Drop Linekar and accomodate Gazza in midfield, and Hoddle instead of Modric.

I think my team would be:

Jennings

Perryman Norman King Knowles

Mackay Blanchflower

Gazza Hoddle Ardiles

Greaves

Bench : The legends that I have left out such as Waddle, England, Klinsmann, Modric, Bale, Ginola

I've extended the closing time on the poll so that overseas posters will have a chance to vote

And this is why we run this place as a benevolent dictatorship. All hell breaks loose when we ask for your opinions

Welcome to the board, by the way

Thanks for the welcome. I used to post many years ago on the original Spurs Update forum and then Glory-glory under the username SpurDon but then changed email and lost my password ! Have been lurking for quite a few years and thought it was about time I contributed.

Did you really name a best 11 without Hoddle? I'm guessing your Top 5 Beatles doesn't include John Lennon (gotta make room for Stu and Pete!)

;-)

Wow. That was a while back. Welcome back

If this is the only chance we're getting to vote for Mackay then so be it. No way he can be left out of the team. Sorry Mabbsy.

Mackay's in the top 2 CMs for me (alongside Hoddle).

No way he should be being considered as a CB (somewhere he never played)

 

[the dza]

Oi! Stop naming starting XIs, it's one player at a time!

(Though obviously it's Greaves upfront in a 4231...)

It's not the only chance (unless he makes the team) and if we are playing 4-2-3-1 then he is a shoe in in his actual position.
