Lloris (c), Naughton, Chiriches, Vertonghen, Davies; Dembele, Stambouli; Lennon, Paulinho, Lamela; Soldado Vorm, Ball, Dier, Bentaleb, Eriksen, Winks, Kane Not sure why we signed Vorm if he's not even going to get Europa League games. The rest seems reasonable, players lacking form/games. Would've rathered have Dier at centreback and Chiriches on the right again though.
If Lamela and Lennon aren't on the correct wings again, them I'm going to be pissed off. I suspect that's what will happen.
Chiriches playing as a centre back? please log in to view this image To cheer everyone up, here's an interview with Stambouli: http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/foo...f-and-ill-do-that-again-at-spurs-9886290.html
Townsend and Chadli picked up respective ankle and knee injuries on international duty, Kaboul missed out against Villa for "personal reasons" so that may still be the case - and I suspect Capoue's been dropped as he's been a passenger for several weeks now.
Why bother putting Lamela on the left if he always comes infield all the time! No width - Lennon is catching a cold out on the right.
Didn't last. Scared of getting done for pace on the left, so Lennon's gone out there. No width anyway, as Lamela was basically playing in the middle.
Stambouli is frighteningly slow, Naughton is his usual useless self, Dembele appears unable to make any forward movement and Davies gives us nothing on the left. Add in a misfiring striker and a helpless Brazilian midfielder and you have a side that is having a problem dealing with one of the worst sides in the EL...... It is really difficult to be positive about the club these days.....
I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't spurs fans. I was typing this before they said that. Tickets would have been available for general sale so it could well be partizan fans doing this.
This is embarrassing. Can't even deal with a couple of pitch invaders and it's only the first half. Amateurish. On the pitch, our midfield's a complete mess. Stambouli's getting done for pace every time, Dembele's trying to do too much and Paulinho's doing nothing. Lamela was coming inside far too often early on and Davies was getting caught out of position whenever we lost the ball. Soldado is completely isolated and he's getting very little service, barring the Lamela cross.
Any fans from any club could have got tickets in the Spurs crowd for this. Weird though. And most crowds laugh when one person comes on so Strachan is being a bit over reactive on that. 2 times and then 3 definitely isn't funny though.
