    Nabil Bentaleb

    I can see Bentaleb could throw a wobbly if he is not first choice but with Dembele not as fit as he used to be, I think there is a good chance of them alternating. And I am convinced Spurs will be seeking a replacement for Dembele very soon. Also, we will play more games than Schalke and it...

    Nabil Bentaleb

    No I see him as natural cover for Dembele. I. Think he would have done a much better job against Mane and supported Davies. He has now shown potential as a CM, LB, LM and AM. Must be worth keeping but if past experience is anything to go by, Poch does not forgive easily. So I will be surprised...

    ***OMT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs KAA Gent***

    Agree. No excuses of tiredness now. We play to win, best team and formation all the way. If we fall short then so be it but not because we tried to anticipate injuries and tiredness, and gave ourselves excuses to lose or not put the effort in. If you don't pull your weight then you get a rest...

    Nonsense, Lloris is at one of the best Clubs in the World.

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    Good passing and possession is not just bout getting the ball from A to B. It is also about not putting the receiving player in deep brick or the team in a poor situation or creating a better offensive position. I don't feel Lloris is as good with his feet as say Vorm, we often end up panicking...

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    That is why I wonder if Son is being blamed unfairly for not supporting Davies. I think he may have been under instruction to occupy the space left vacant by Clyne when he ventured forward in the hope that when the Pool move breaks down Son, or Alli at times, could then exploit this. Indeed, our...

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    I noticed Wanyama was lagging too. But I put that down to him losing confidence during the game. Poch seemed to be unhappy with the players performance. It was interesting to see how hard their players worked back, Lallana was behind Milner at times. Winajldum and Henderson ran back at pace...

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    That is commendable but surely part of the meritocratic approach is also to be be so during the game. Why did Wanyama stay on the pitch today? He wasn't defending, there was little energy in tracking, his passing was to Pool and he was not likely to give us control or change the game, surely...

    And your evidence for that is the City game is it? I hope he does though.

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    People were telling me we had enough cover for loss of form, injuries and we had enough quality in the squad to change things tactically, during the window. Do we still think that, it is one game but the flaws from previous games and campaigns remain. Dealing with pressure games, away attitude...

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    I am not sure who has been worse. The ref or our players. But we need to bring on Winks for Wanyama, and GKN for Eriksen, play GKN in front of Davies, move Son up and Alli into Eriksen's position. We need to be more composed on the ball. Our worst half since City. But was predictable.

    They have Matip who can head. That's it.

    Mignolet is not bad at shots but weaker on crosses, which is not our way. So he probably will but good to test him out a bit.

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    Bit unfair on Milner. He is far more two footed than people give him credit for and certainly more than Trippier. However, Milner can be got at in his own third by someone taking him on as he tends to lunge into tackles. An early yellow for him would curb his forward play as he then runs the...

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    Dembele is going to be key in this game. How he supports Davies, how he balances position to make the CM area strong yet get over to left side and how quickly he moves the ball. Also, they will target him to see if he loses possession, which our players may find demoralising, if it happens. I...

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    It's an option but only in an emergency. This formation was mullered by City and this personnel is second choice to carry it out. I wouldn't risk it.

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    Ha Ha! Our poor set plays and slow build up you mean. Perhaps we should drop Eriksen and Dembele, just to adopt a pragmatic style? I am sure "they don't like it up 'em"

    ***OMT - Spurs vs Liverpool***

    You make a good case for Sissoko in CM. Worth a go, although we may become too stagnant and lack goals, but then we can always change and bring on Son. My fear is that we cause our own problems by playing out from the goal line, doing stupid possession drills. We are our own worst enemies...

    Marcus Edwards

    Lennon like Sterling had that grizzly strength and pace which made them very difficult to knock off the ball at that age. Edwards may be better used as a player off Kane if Alli or Eriksen are not available, this would mean he doesn't have to do what he can't but work in the box, where defenders...

    Nabil Bentaleb

    That may well be but he is a natural cover/ long term replacement for Dembele, he can also cover LB, LWB and has had his best moments as an AM for Schalke. Are we sure we can't rehabilitate him, especially when we seemed to have considered buying Kessie as another mid?
