It is a 4-3-3. But strangely Winks is the 6 with Skipp & Dele as (nominal) 8s with freedom to get forward.
And Skippy looking bright.
It would be wasteful to have him being a holding mid.

I could buy this.I wonder if Nuno sees Skipp as an 8 and Winks is just playing Pierre's role today?
If today's performance is an indicator, I'd be happy with Pierre as a 6, and a rotating cast of Skipp/Ndombele/Lo Celso as 8s.
I was watching a video today & apparently his 2 previous coaches said that the bloke has no discipline at all in terms of keeping his weight down or fitness . Silly sodWhere the fuck is Ndombele? Not fully trained yet? Injured?
I get the encouragement and that he is an academy player and a fan. But the reality is.. he doesn't play well.I just cant criticise winks. Came through academy, a fan and needs encouragement. Like to see academy players do well.
We all know that.It is JUST a pre-season game,
So chill. The real test comes soon enough - with Man City in the opener
As the commentator said, you can still see signs of if the coaches' system is settling with the players and what he is saying is getting across in a friendly.I remember a few years ago (around 13-14 years) when Spurs beat a few top teams in the pre-season, one of them being Lyon in a pre-season tournament (Lyon were one of the best teams in Europe then)...and Spurs fans were raving about how good Spurs were, etc., etc...
It is JUST a pre-season game, and the "lesser" teams give their all to win while most Spurs players don't give much of a sweat and rather try to avoid injuries. This is a bit like a cup game for Colchester and treated as a friendly warm-up by most Spurs players.

He looks like a real deal but I would not have high expectations for him this season, I will just enjoy watching him on his first full season with the club.Yes he has, he looks the part, partnership with PEH perhaps
He also needs a bigger shirt , portly little chap .Presenter hasn't sorted out his skinny jeans issue though
