The only reason I think that is because Demebele looked at times a little behind the pace and I think Winks can provide that youthful spark of creativity to break down Burnley.
We need Janssen to bully the Burnley defenders and hold up the ball to allow people like Eriksen and Dele to make darting runs into the box.
Tough ask, Defoe's miles ahead...
It'll be Agüero or Lallana knowing them!
Alan Smith was picking, so it was probably Ward-Prowse...
FIXED!
Winks and Janssen hands down for me, Im with you on that......they could be another Kane and Dele in my opinion.
Son benefits from playing with a striker, not being the striker, so he and Dembele great options off the bench for Burnley.
Sums it up.
Mousa man of the match for me.
Mousa man of the match for me.
They'd have to lose three games and suffer a draw with us going unbeaten.
Not going to happen.
I think Poch will mix it up for Beurrrnleh.
Not least 'cos it's after the International break, and who knows what state some of them will come back in!
Plus today it was painfully obvious that Son works best with another striker either beside or behind him.
Whether Janssen is more comfortable as the 'lone striker' remains to be seen...
But I think he'll get more than the 5 minutes he got today.... If only 'cos Sonny is gonna be travelling halfway round the World and back in the next fortnight!

Romeu looked really good when we played them at ours. Did well. Run his heart out when they went down to 10 and was completely fucked.
Another young player they fucked off after giving him a few games over 2 seasons before loaning him out.
Bought him from Barca as a kid with a buy back option. Barca could buy back for £10m after a year or £15 after 2 if Chelsea decided they didn't want him.
Chelsea made about a £1m on him.
My heart sank when we went with Dele and Eriksen up top in some weird 442 for 15 minutes rather than just bring on Vinny......leaves me wondering about Burnley.
Based on what Son did today and Vinny's cameo - I think it's fair to say the latter deserves the nod for this one. Fair is fair
Son is not a striker.
Most people said he would fit in nicely for Kane becuase he scores goals.
Yet forgot that he played alongside Kane when he scored most of his 7 league goals.
We all saw before that he cannot play up top on his own. Him or Njie.
Luckily Eriksen got his finger out of his arsehole today and did what he can do.
We are more than a one man team but Kane is hard to replace even when he's not scoring goals.
He allows players like Son and Dele to get more space.
He also is much more than a goal scorer.
Edit: just seen Sammy has plagiarised me.
Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thats the crux of it
If we play 343 then Son has to go.
We could play 4231 and play Son Eriksen Dele and Janssen.
Have more of a goal threat.
Burnley play 442 don't they. As far as I have seen they play it rigid and not a diamond so they wouldn't have the extra Man in midfield
But it will be 343
I hope we have pulled Dier and Walker from the England squad.
Goodbye White Hart Lane
Had a good look round, very excited for the new stadium plans we do need a freshen up I think as the fans were winding me up as usual
Hugo even turned round and shouted at the Park Lane towards the end, probably couldn't put up with the moaning, unbeaten at home this season surrounded with cunts I shouted at a few too, no positivity
I didn't shit myself at all as they never had a shot when we were behind the ball, they hit us after making a silly mistake or two, never in dobut
Son wasn't enough of a target man I agree let's give Janssen a shot in that position see if he does have it in him
3. wins now out of 3 for the winnable 8 games I called out
COYS will miss the shelf

Excellent first half, with periods of some beautiful football, could/should have scored more.
Had to really dig in for the 2nd half today. Fair play to Southampton for making something of it. Defensively we are fucking great, even though Southampton played well in 2nd half, goal aside I can't remember a shot on target!! Mariner was very poor today, Romeo should have been sent off for at least 6 bookable fouls, Ward-Prose too. Found it odd Southampton got a foul when barely touched, yet because our boys don't go to ground we don't get a foul.
Atmosphere was probably the worst of the season, very flat but thought last 5 mins and injury time we finally got behind the team and carried them over the line.
Hard fought and deserved victory.
