    Before the games starts, let’s remember no one has been relegated in early August

    To be fair, looking at that lineup, it can easily flip to being a 4-3-3 if needed.

    KWP to LB, Yan at RB. The central three and then Armstrong flanked by Djenepo and Aribo.

    Tom has already relegated Fulham on the other thread.

    BBC have given Aribo a double-barrel name; Ayodele-Aribo.

    Now I'm feeling more confident.

    The words of Mike Tyson spring to mind; “Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face.”

    I’m sure we have one too. Just need to avoid the traditional early sucker punch.

    Romeu and JWP haven't been playing as DMs though in pre-season.

    Valery cannot play RB without being torn a new one!

    Yes, but they are DMs by trade. If we put Salisu up front, doesn’t make him a striker.

    Happy for Prowsie to push up though.

    JWP isn't a DM by trade he's a CM.

    Originally yes. But over the last couple of seasons he’s become more and more defensive.

    PS. Just changed my last post before seeing your response. Again, I’ve wanted Prowsie to push up for a long time now.

    He's one that you would definitely categorise as a "utility" player...RB,RWB,RM,RAM,DM,CM,CAM.

    So important we get the wing backs forward today.
    If it decides 5-3-2 then AA and A-A will become very isolated and it’ll be attack be defence all game (in Spurs’ favour).

    They’ve got their 2nd choice wing backs playing too. If we push forwards, 3-5-2 , we can cause problems for them .

    There was a recent interview where Ralph said he’d likely be changing for fresh strikers at half time in some games So I guess for some players half a game to excel in might be an attractive proposition.

    I don’t mind the idea of Che, Stuart Armstrong and Elyounnoussi coming on together as a fresh front 3 in the second half
