OMT - 22.12.13 - 13:30 -Tottenham VS Southampton @ St, Mary's

What are those three going to do really? It just looks so weak to me.

Lennon Holtby Chadli

First away game for TS. Those three guys all good defensively as well as in attack. Holtby will not go on the missing list and Chadli adds height.

Not my favourites but for this game a sensible choice. Might not be the RIGHT choice but...

Perhaps Mousa is confusing the rules of football with rugby, what with his reluctance to play a forward pass :-k

Dembele has disappointed me so often. I don't think he is a big club player.

45

that seems quite a lot?

44 then.

 

[7percent]

Not really questioning you. I'd just expect it to be more like 20.

 

[onlyme]

44 then.

Source?

Maybe Capoue needs a day off.

Source?

Used to play for Enfield. We couldnt find 44 people.

I have no idea what that means but I still LOL. Have you been on the source?

 

[Mumorn]

The question was silly. So I gave it a silly answer

 

[thfcsteff]

If Dembele and Holtby are both in the side, who should be the further forward of the two?

If Dembele plays he needs to be as advanced as possible; anywhere else and he is a liability.

I prefer him further forward too.

 

[milo]

If Dembele plays he needs to be as advanced as possible; anywhere else and he is a liability.

I don't agree but I do think that he is in a bit of a rut at the moment

think it depends on what you see his role as in the side. If your formation requires a more "effective" progressive player maybe you'd look at a Siggy, Holtby , eriksen type.

But I love the platform of Sandro and Dembele that we had last year. We bossed a lot of good midfields with that. Perfect springboard for the more attack minded players

IT worked last year because we were a different side. All they had to go was lay it off to Bale who created something from nothing. Or else we were playing on the counter which worked. This season its 10 men behind the ball against us, so we actually need some creativity from the middle not just a two players to get the ball back quickly. We cant rely on one of the front four to magic the ball in like Bale. And we cant construct proper attacking move with just 3 players and a striker against a packed defence.

Ha this is interesing considering recently Moyes at United and Guardiola at Bayern have been going crazy about someone leaking their teams for the next days and saying there is a mole in the dressing room.
