Only the 2nd time this season we've started a midfield 3 of Bissouma, Bentancur and Sarr. The 1st was the 4-0 loss to Liverpool in the EFL Cup Semi-Final 2nd leg.

Very industrious midfield. Very little creativity there and a shit load of brain farts waiting to happen. Let's playing starting midfield bingo...
1. Yellow card
2. Two Yellow cards
3. Three Yellow cards
4. 1 red card
5. Concede a penalty
6. Lose marker at a set piece that leads to a goal
7. Score an own goal
8. Blaze high and wide from inside the box with no Bournemouth player near them
9. Injury to one of them
10. Injury to two of them
11. Injury to all three of them
I'm going 2, 5, 6, 8, 9

Fuck me have anything positive to say about Tottenham Hotspur?
Why doesn’t he ever think of playing two up top with madders behind in the hole and 3 in midfield. Keep the FBs wide and not inverted. I’d say we’d play a lot better as have two wide players in a front 3 doesn’t work for us as they are crap.
And fuck Johnson off to the bench!
I'm not arguing with you... I want to see him play in midfield but I don't see Ange putting him there in a big game when he hasn't played there all season.
Great to see adam Gilchrist there. One of my sporting heroes. Warne was king though. What a great player Gilchrist was. Hoddle of course the ultimate.
But that's how far we have fallen under the set up, expectations are low that, most of us think we are losing to Bournemouth.
I’m not arguing either lol. I was just asking literally, like we bought him to be a midfielder and in that case you’d say Bergvall has probably moved ahead with his development.
Who knows what his best position is today and what it'll be in the future. Seen a lot of him at CB for us and at RB for Leeds. Also saw him play a bit of CM for Leeds... never seen him play CM at the highest level...
Gonna be a similar story today with BJ in the staring lineup. Nothing substantial down the right and you just hope he contributes a tap in goal because there won’t be much else from him. Porro will likely have to bypass him which he’s capable of doing with a long ball to the others up top. Midfield isn’t all that inspiring, nobody in there to really break the lines.
That midfield is fucking wretched...
Biss starts after getting zero mins in our last 2 games and just 17 in total from the bench in our last 4....... Interesting......
Out of ideas?
Couldn't try Gray?
Probably resting him mate....he has played a lot of football.....hopefully plays in midfield on Thursday.....
