Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

When we change docherty for aurier , la Celso for sissoko and bale for lamela, that will be a nice team .... just a shame we can’t
 
Low block and play on the counter, I reckon.

Sissoko and Hojbjerg in front of a flat back 4 and then attack with pace and creativity when we get the ball in the form of Reguilon, Ndombele, Son and Kane.

Lamela to hassle the fuck out of Pogba whenever he's on the ball.
 
Sissoko masterclass incoming.

Glad Aurier is rewarded with a start.

Doherty has been far from convincing and in a back 4 against that attack, it was always going to be a risk. Aurier seems to have benefited from competition and performed well when given the opportunity (albeit against lesser opposition)

Sissoko in to presumably help out that right hand side as well as being a presence in there with Hojbjerg to mop up being a rejuvenated Ndombele.

Huge game for Reguilon too. Premier League debut, away at Old Trafford. Just like his idol Gareth Bale. No pressure.

Son and Kane could really give that defence trouble too.

Excited.
Not sure if we will see a three man midfield or Ndombele as the 10. I think I'd prefer to flood bodies in the midfield. Either way, Ndombele will be the furthest forward, I just worry about our build up play if we are relying on Hojbjerg and Sissoko.
 
Woudnt' start Coco for this game,

Can hang onto the ball for too long and give it away and don't want to do that against manure's speedsters.

Also, gives way fouls in poor areas.

Sissoko hasn't played enough to be ready for this game, either.

Starting 11 feels slightly off, but let's see how we go.
