Match PSG v Tottenham Hotspur Wednesday 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Palinha is a class act but Archie and Berg are equally class
He can tackle, but every other part of his game is so bad. He's the reason we can't progress the ball. Because he's so technically piir, opposition use him to trigger the press. Keeps the ball in our half all of the time, and even with him as a 6, we concede loads of chances. Every time he's out of the side we look better.
 
I think someone should remind these presenters that they are two European champions playing this game and not one. Silly just referring to PSG as champions and not us.
 
Ok. I misunderstood your post. I can agree with that. Don't need him playing as much against easier opponents and have him fresh for the hard ones.
I'd play Gra, honestly. We can't advance the ball with him in the side. When he plays, teams target him becaise he's poor on the ball and will give it backwards.
Looks good on paper, but not the answer to our midfield issue. Bayern we're very quick to figure that out.
 
This midfield setup with 4 highly interchangeable CMs allows much more flexibility in both ends of the game.

Wouldn't work with specialists like Palhinha or Simons that cannot play diverse roles, but if you can get something like this to work sustainably it would be a joy to watch.
Gray and Bergvall actually talk to each other on the pitch as well from the look of it. I hope we stick with them as a pair through the Christmas period and let's see what we have there.
 
Right

Same again next half and keep it nice and tight for the first fifteen.......keep them from scoring in the first 10-15 minutes and anything can happen.
 
Feels like this forum has been spiked with MDMA. COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
