    Al Capone plays for Spurs? There'll be blood! ;)
    I'm guessing Sandro would have played instead of Sig if he was fit.

    A bit light on defensive qualities but the most balanced side I've seen this season. Who's on the bench?

    True but how hard is it realistically to balance a 442 formation…? Umm… well bleedin' hard if your name's AVB apparently.

    Yeah, I wanted to see the same.

    I dislike 442 unless it uses someone who's not an out and out striker in one of the "2" roles, like VDV or Bale.

    I would also like to see how Lamela would do in the centre,teaming him up with eriksen or Holtby might be just what we need

    Lacking any real creativity in the centre.

    Ericksen, Holtby should be playing.

    I swear it's the age-old situation when a new boss comes in amidst chaos and confusion: play 442 and drill the defence. Let's see how it goes. I'm quite excited to see two up top, to be honest.

    Sorry, I don't like that lineup at all. It strikes me as reacting as strongly as possible against AVB more than a serious attempt to pick our best side. The good news is the back four, with Chiriches and Rose back; and the fact that it's certainly set up to score.

    I said earlier that 9 of our best 11 are pretty clear ATM, though, and this departs wildly from that, though it's granted we can't start 2/3 of Paulinho, Sandro and Dembele in the "2" since one is injured and another's suspended. Still, I don't see any excuse for AGAIN not starting our best player the last few weeks, nor starting a front two that have never, ever, worked with each other. If you have to start a front two, I would have gone with Ade and Soldado, who have the virtue of not being a proven failure.

    I don't mind Gylfi getting a start, though I probably would have gone with Eiriksen.

    I would have gone with:

    Dembele Holtby/Eirikson

    Chadli Eiriksen/Holtby Lennon

    Soldado

    That has most of the group that was looking like it was starting to, uh, play symbiotically before Liverpool. The last thing I thought we needed was another wild departure from that. Hope I'm wrong.

    COYS!

    Nice counter after a blunder by Ade.

    Defoe! Why!
