Geordie Ahmed Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Out of interest can someone with more knowledge of these players give us an idea of what Spurs starting 11 could look like? Wild swing in the dark but i'm going to guess.... Lloris Walker Chiriches Vertonghen Rose Capoue Paulinho Eriksen Lamela Soldado Chadli Dembele will definitely be a starter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Theyre gonna need a better LB than Rose. Saw him on the weekend, he was their worst player. Was excellent in their first game though. Was excellent all of last season, so could've just been a bad game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Out of interest can someone with more knowledge of these players give us an idea of what Spurs starting 11 could look like? Lloris Walker Vertonghen Dawson Rose Paulinho Capoue Lamela Ericksen Dembele Soldado Subs : Defoe, Adebayor, Chadli, Lennon, Townsend, Sandro, Holtby, Sigurðsson, Naughton, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Chiricheș, Friedel. Dembele out wide would be worse than us using Sissoko out wide. Oi, Pardew's rigid shit you need to blot out. Tucked in and free roaming and interchanging of positions with all of the front 4. Pardew has poisoned your mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloris Walker Chiriches Vertonghen Rose Capoue Paulinho Eriksen Lamela Soldado Chadli Looks about right, I think Kaboul is the favorite with Verntonghen, but I don't know enough about Chiricheș. It'll be really interesting to see what formation they use most often, a lot of possibilities. Well that's the thing about these flash c*nts they have quality alternatives in most positions.... for example... Friedel Naughton Kaboul Dawson Assou-Ekotto Sandro Dembele Holtby Lennon Defoe Townsend That's without mentioning Adebayor and Sigurdsson ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloris Walker Chiriches Vertonghen Rose Capoue Paulinho Eriksen Lamela Soldado Chadli Dembele will definitely be a starter You sure? because i'm not i reckon AVB wanted 2 DMs, 2 B2Bs and 2 AMs.... if he can help it he will rotate Paulinho and Dembele, Sandro and Capoue, Eriksen and Holtby/Sigurdsson for three positions. Dembele is a great player but is he more creative than Eriksen? no, better box to box goalscoring midfielder than Paulinho? probably not, better destroyer than Capoue or Sandro? no.

I think we will mostly see a midfield 3 of Capoue, Paulinho and Dembele Soldado is obviously the main striker, think Lamela and Eriksen will play off him They have some options like, such a strong midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his greatest fan but he scores goals which is almost unheard of in our midfield He didn't really like his stay in Germany and will most def prefer a move within the PL. He still has a lot to prove after a quiet last season but Levy will not let him go on a loss though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be shocked to see it all the time though because they have so many wingers and i'll be surprised to not see them used on a regular basis. Chadli, Lennon and Townsend should all see game time IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign clubs will have to spend too but wont be as much. Even loans i dare say will be expensive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was terrible the only game i saw of him, admittedly it was against Real i think. Based on the fact he plays for them i suspect i got a very bad viewing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 What is Herrera like, VI? I don't really know anything about him. Worth the price floating around? Very talented, if overly rash sometimes. He needs to be protected since he has the body of a 12 year old and has the defensive timing of Paul Scholes on the piss, but he's technically excellent and certainly a creative force. Wouldn't pay €36 million for him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Don't think they needed Erikson tbh but he is genuinely creative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Don't think they needed Erikson tbh but he is genuinely creative. In terms of squad size maybe not, but they really do need someone to cut through a backline with a pass. None of their current group of midfielders are very good at it, most are direct and pacy. You could really see it in their first two league games. Not sure about Lamela though, haven't seen him enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree they genuinely needed a creative player in there to go with all the power and pace. AVB has pretty much recreated his Porto squad in terms of style of player and system but with some more depth on top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent hence my qualifier but I've never been that impressed with Eriksen bar the odd flash. Maybe an impact sub to start? Lamela will be a 10 eventually anyway, it's in his Argentine nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
