OMT *** Tottenham v Brighton

[Bedfordspurs]

3-4-3 then

 

[paxtonwolf]

Devine on the bench

he must be really impressing behind the scenes

 

[MKSpur]

I hear Sanchez is starting!! Jose wants out!

 

[Yiddo]

What has vinicius got to do to get a start? Son can’t play striker.

 

[paxtonwolf]

I would love to see a Bale masterclass tonight. Somebody has to step up and fill Harry's boots

 

[Rorschach]

I think he should have gone with Vinicius. What is the point of having him otherwise.

 

[milo]

Be surprised as that was the team

I am. I'm trying to work out how that lines up. If it's a back three, it's likely to be either Bergwijn or Sissoko at RWB but I have cold sweats about Sanchez at RB.

TOTTENHAM TEAM NEWS

Team to face Brighton: Lloris, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rodon, Davies, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Bale.

Subs: Hart, Doherty, Winks, Lamela, Dier, Tanganga, Moura, Vinicius, Devine.

That’s awful line up . 3 at back seriously. No Vini

 

[MKSpur]

Sanchez rb ahead of Doherty and Aurier not in squad, Dier dropped, Ndombele back to the advanced role and a Bale start.

True, but it’s position of the ball and hand that matters, Hugo fudged one up once and got booked for it barely half an inch over the line.

If it’s just a booking then that’s why it wasn’t checked by VAR. VAR only checks goals, pens, sending offs. Not handballs unless they lead to a goal. This is a standard handball (unless it’s a red offence).

 

[Baleforce]

Let’s see if we can put in another statement performance at the Amex, like we did under Poch.

Alderweireld right back surely

Still doesn’t explain why the assistant didn’t flag the obvious infraction.

Alderweireld right back surely

I don’t think so
I think he is playing sissoko right wing back
He did play right back there last season
And had a mare

After Wycombe I think it was likely to be Bale over Vinny. Probs Son up top after Jose’s comments about Bale not wanting to play up there.

He’s saying to Doherty I’d rather play a centre back or midfielder ahead of you, yet I’ll put you on the bench because Aurier is on then naughty step.
Vincius joins the list of back up target man not seen fit to replace Kane when he is injured ahead of Son. Said before I think it weakens two position doing that.

 

[billyiddo]

Lloris
Alderwiereld Rodon Sanchez Davies
Sissoko Hojberg
Bergwijn Ndombele Son
Bale
​

Surprised people think it's 3 atb

 

[Baleforce]

Alderweireld right back surely

I think he’ll be in the middle with Rodon to the right.

We know Sanchez will be safe as houses on the left.

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

Nope. View attachment 10832

Uh, isn’t that a red card?? Or just yellow?

Amazing.

 

[DubSpur]

That defence is horrible whether it's a back 4 or a back 3. Davies and Sissoko as wingbacks?
