I’d be tempted with that as well. Richie has played two full games. Judy’s and Xavi both been rested. And you have a young, fresh energetic midfield. Why not just give them their legs. Sarr will be off in Jan so will need bent and Paul then anyway. Bent started last two so I suspect paul will come in anyway as I can’t see Frank not playing either him or bent. Just as long it’s not both. But the younger lad’s played well so deserve another game. Kudus up top I think makes sense and Xavi infront of that midfield should give him licence.
 
Replicate the formation from PSG but with Danso in for Romero, Udogie can swap in for Spence. And push the midfield up a bit. Especially in defense, and have a go at it.

Tomorrows line up will be the same formation of a
4-4-2 with Bergvall on the left tucked in a bit and Kudus on the right. Paulinha and Gray will be the two central players. Udogie will start at left back with Porro right back and Danso and Micky at centre back. Up top I can’t see him changing Muani and Richarlison. It would be harsh to split them up after scoring our goals.

Kudus or Simons has to start. If it’s Kudus then Bergvall on the left and if its Simon’s on the left Bergvall on the right tucked on a bit. He has the legs to get out from the inside left or right position. Sarr doesn’t do enough for me defensively or offensively to be considered for this game.

That's my favourite formation. TBH.

...but I'd go one step further and (fuck it, it's a home game) swap out two of Sarr/Gray/Bergwall for Kudus wide on the left, and add Tel or Odobert on the right... if need be, and seeing as he's in form, give Richy & Muani another go up front...
They seemed to click in Paris...

lol I don't even think Ange ever had a team that attacking
 
Fulham to have 13 or more shots at 10/11 with Sky Bet has got my attention. Spurs are facing 12.7 shots per game this season. That's a marker of a team who are struggling to dominate territory and one which is happy to soak up pressure.

And the teams clearing the 13-shot bar aren't exactly a who's who of juggernauts. Burnley, Bournemouth, Bodø/Glimt, Monaco and Leeds have all walked into Spurs matches and hit the magic 13 or more number.

Also, Cristian Romero's suspension bodes well for a Fulham shots play.

From a 23-game sample in the Premier League, Tottenham concede almost five more shots per match without their influential defender. A huge number. That's not a wobble, that's a structural collapse - one that Fulham can exploit on their way to a victory.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2​

 
I think some of the line up suggestions are getting a bit ridiculous. Yes, we want to play more attacking. 4 defenders and only one of bentacur/palhinha. But this idea of starting 5 forwards and having Bergval as the only sitting midfielder is just a madness. Lets not lose our heads and go even more extreme than Ange. If we do 2 upfront then there is no room for Simons. I think Bergval starts beside Palhinha here with Simons in the 10. Unless we want to start the 2 upfront, then we simply leave out simons again.

We aren't that much better than Fulham. We have to show some level of respect. In fact most our fans don't even expect us to win!
