Dier and Sanchez played in a back 2 under Jose?
Jose tried every possible CB combo in his time here...... None of them jot the job done aside from the odd game.
WHY are they not suited for a flat back4????
They look like they are not suited for a back 5 either
Why not take one of those awful CB´s out of the equation, and put another midfielder on instead?
That would end us always being outnumberd in midfield, and in doing so taking a lot of pressure from our CB´s.
4-2-3-1 with 2 CB´s and 2 sitting midfielders in front of them should be more than enough to stabilize things
If you think you can pick a 4231 out of our currently available players which has a strong chance of us being better defensively then let's see it.........
I personally have no problem playing defensive football.
My issue is with playing with no intensity or plan. Defensive football does not have to be bad or boring. Play with a good press and it can be quite fun.
But we don't do that so there's nothing to enjoy about the defensive displays.

you understand things are going bad when people regret mourinho's times
Jose at least tried to fix some things before giving up.
for example?
He realized that Aurier was a bit of a defensive liability and shifted to a inverted backline. Allowing Aurier to essentially play as a winger, with Davies tucking in as a third centreback.
are you serious?
That's pretty much how I remember it. We were playing this lopsided wing-back system a lot of the time with just Aurier playing as a wing back.
He chipped in with the odd goal and assist from it too.
I've been saying it all along.
We won the game against Leeds with luck. Perfect time to boot him - on the back of a win, so less embarrasing for bothsides - because it was blatantly clear that he has no fucking ideas left.
It would have given new coach more than a month to train with non-WC players.
Then another 5 weeks before transfer window shuts to see who we need to bring in to be competitive.
And then another half of the season to properly settle in and go fresh to new season.
Now we will sack this idiot after the winter transfer window is shut
.. and will be forced to either write off 45 mil signing; force new manager to play with 3 CBs or adjust players main position
...and we will have to endure this pathetic vomit that he puts on the plate for us
...and new manager will have to take over without proper time or room for changes in the transfer window.
There is no long-term view, that is clear. But we don't even plan as much as half a year ahead (!!).
Just live in this (depressive) moment.
Very hard to judge Kane, any talented youngster (Gil, Sarr, Spence) or anyone else wanting to leave. People want to have some kind of plan, vison and path. Right now it is just total fucking mess without end.
I love Spurs from the bottom of my heart and will be Spurs 'till I die... but if it would be matter of choice, I would in fact like to be able to turn back on this absolute fucking mess....

Do you wanna bet??
He will bring on fullback from U-16 if needed. But he will change fuck all.
He has seen the light.
He knows the best setup.
And keeping his setup is far more important to him than Spurs wins or losses ever will... He has proven that over and over and over again
Yet I heard from so many sides that..
"But, but, but, Conte system needs fullbacks to work".
Not that our core would be weak. But no. We had to go for fucking RWB and forward...
Maybe first 11. But not squads. That’s really what let us down.
