Total Football

[PowerSpurs]

I recall the Dutch team of the 70s where players tended to pop up all over the pitch as they were all so comfortable in any position.

My current Spurs 'total football' team would be.

Lloris
Kaboul Vertonghen
Paulinho Sandro Dembele
Lennon Holtby Eriksen Townsend
Soldado


Picked on the basis of all round skill. I reckon it might struggle against real quality but would be pretty exciting to watch

 

[Dier Hard]

Lloris
Vertonghen
Sandro, Paulinho, Dembele
Lennon, Lamela, Eriksen, Holtby, Townsend
Soldado

Probably score a lot... But also concede a lot!

I wonder how Townsend would do playing fullback/winger. Lennon's been doing it for years.

I thought he had a go at left back once or twice or am I imagining that?

 

[No Kane No Gain]

So we're picking the best ball players in each position?

Lloris
Walker, Chiriches, Vertonghen, Rose
Paulinho, Dembele
Lamela, Eriksen, Holtby
Soldado

 

[notsosmartspur]

Lloris
Kaboul Vertonghen
Paulinho Sandro Dembele
Lennon Holtby Eriksen Townsend
Soldado


...if I didn't know better, I'd say Ossie Ardiles picked that formation!
