    No case for the defence

    Yeah good point. Under AVB we also played a ridiculous high-line, but it costed us far less because Lloris was almost playing as a third CB, he doesn't do that anymore.

    Fazio and Stambouli Needed

    Those are old rules. Your link is about last year. This year the FA-cup runner-up won't qualify for EL. If Liverpool or Arsenal win the cup, then seventh-place is European football unfortunately.

    Aaron Lennon

    Lennon is a lost cause. Townsend does have potential. But what he is showing for us has 't been anywhere near good enough.

    Should we go to three at the back?

    I am not sure whether Chiriches is still an option, I don't think he is good enough defensively in a two CB's system, but in a three as the RCB? It could work. Also, Davies as a LCB? Could also work, personally I think he would actually be more suited to that role as compared to how he is...

    Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

    We could use a Scott Parker...

    Should we go to three at the back?

    Lol, look at it how you will, the facts are that Davies and Fazio have been benched for players more suited to our system and that neither Eriksen nor Lamela on the wings is working out all that well.

    Should we go to three at the back?

    In theory this is indeed how it should be, both attacking down the right-flank. I remember one particular match where Lamela and Walker did this and it worked out great. Unfortunately I don't remember a lot of other matches where this happened. Most of the time Lamela and Eriksen on the left...

    Should we go to three at the back?

    With the way Rose has been playing and Eriksen abandoning his position Rose was already playing very much in a forward position, I don't think the difference between a very offensive LB in a back-four to playing LWB is that big. Rose wasn't good enough as a winger, but I am not asking him to be...

    Should we go to three at the back?

    Half of the time our full-backs are playing without a winger infront of them anyway, most notably when Eriksen is on the left and Lamela on the right, they cut inside so much. Rose actually used to be a winger, not sure about Walker? How 'natural' at full-back are they? A couple of the players...

    Should we go to three at the back?

    It might very well suit us. Unfortunately Pochettino doesn't seem to flexible in his use of formations, so I doubt it will happen. Our full-backs in Rose and Walker are already used as wing-backs, so for them it should work. And let's be honest, our wingers have been pretty average, so it's not...

    Jan Vertonghen

    Well, it kind of does if you take into account that people have an agenda. Dier is the young upcoming English CB who can do nothing wrong, compared to the guy who refuses to extend his three year contract and doesn't run around with a smile on his face. Some people clearly are desperate to...

    Jan Vertonghen

    Lol, you know how much abuse he got last year? If he is 'the problem', why then is he the only one who is pretty much a regular at CB? Why doesn't Pochettino bench him? It is funny that during the short period in which this actually happened we were worse than ever at the back.

    Jan Vertonghen

    Yeah, it is spacegoating at its best. Dier makes three huge mistakes and yet people put the blame on Vertonghen for apparently not organising (not sure what lack of organisation has to do with Dier getting outrun by Fellaini, Dier losing an arial dual with Fellaini and Dier refusing to tackle...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City *** OMT

    Some drastic action is needed, that United performance was completely unacceptable from most players. Lloris Chiriches-Fazio-Vertonghen-Davies Lamela-Stambouli-Bentaleb-Rose Kane-Adebayor This will never happen of course, but I would like it to. Especially Adebayor back on. Eriksen and Chadli...

    Jan Vertonghen

    That he is the least useless among them? How exactly has he dodged criticism though? If anything he has been made the spacegoat by many.

    Aaron Lennon

    Not sure why we are comparing Townsend/Lennon? It is like having a debate about who is the least useless. The reality is that both aren't anywhere near good enough for where we aspire to be.

    Jan Vertonghen

    Ah, spacegoating again ModricTHFC? Not sure what a contract has to do with the match against United (a contract which btw has the same duration as the guy you have as your avatar has, should we bench him as well?). Only on this forum would you have a CB being at fault for all three goals and get...

    Eric Dier

    Meh, it's not Vertonghen's fault that Dier gets outpaced by Fellaini, loses his header against Fellaini or somehow forgets to tackle Rooney. To often dumb, individual mistakes are spacegoated upon somebody else. I like Dier, but yesterday was veey poor, needs to be benched for a while imo.

    Ratings v Man Utd

    The protection in fro t of the back four is the biggest difference imo.

    Ben Davies

    Lol, no way is Lovren comparable to Fazio. It might just be me, but we seem to play significantly higher with Dier instead of Fazio.
