    They won both games last season extremely comfortable. Nzonzi bossed the game. Bojan started a run in his own half and scored a beauty. Walters is a big lummox.

    Need to get off the mark with 3 points.

    Tottenham 3-1.

    tough game - but I reckon we will sneak it 2-1

    I think Stoke will do well this year. Bar a brilliant strike from Coutinho last week, they'd have held Liverpool as well, so it definitely won't be easy. Hopefully our attack actually plays this game, and we can get a goal or two, as they will definitely score.

    2-1 I hope, 1-1 I'd say.

    Hugo

    Walker - Toby - Jan - Rose

    Bentaleb - Dier

    Chadli - Eriksen - Dembele

    Kane.

    Poch is fairly regimental in his selections.


    I think he'll want us to get a foothold in the game, and sees the likes of Alli, Pritch, Lamela as luxuries, wait until we are comfortable, (2-0) or maybe if we need to chase the game....Just dont see him starting these lads just yet.

    Mason maybe in place of Dier,

    Ever the Optimist, and with Nidgey looking on from the stands.....


    3-0 Spurs.

    Kane, Toby, Alli.

    Don't like Dier in that position. Makes us far too defensive with not enough attacking movement or support up front. Would swap Dier with Mason and maybe Dembele with Alli??

    3 -2 I think. Chadli, Kane, Eriksen. ;)

    If anything I would take Bentaleb out and stick Dembele in and put Lamela out wide. Sick and tired of Dembele getting the ball only to pass it back and he just doesn't have that lightning pace needed for a wide position. Bentaleb gave far too much ball away against Utd and was at fault for the goal, Mason is very much the same. Like the look of Alli and hope to see him progress well this year.

    Agree, he was a passenger at Utd.

    It looks like Dier screening the back four, Mason in the middle. Chadli on the left, Dembele on the right? And Eriksen supporting Kane.

    Good first half for us.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,072 ✭✭✭mass_debater


    Out and about, how are we playing?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,917 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Chadli could easily play as striker. Knows where the back of the net is.

    Happy with our play so far. Eriksens ball was absolutely sick. Lovely finish from Chadli too, hopefully a few more where that came from.

    Absolutely no attacking threat since Kane went off. Shows how in need we are of a good forward.

    Don't even get me started on Lamela either. He's given away ball, touch is off and has made foul after foul. Couldn't be any more frustrated!

    defence organisation and tactics was shocking last week, centre halves everywhere but in the centre. listening to this doesn't fill me with any confidence that pochettino is focused on sorting out the obvious issues.
