So play a weaker XI for the first 45 when the oppo are at their strongest and freshest?

I think it's pretty obvious what De Zerbi's starting 11 is and that he believes this is a job for experienced players. I don't think he'd even be starting Tel if he had a more experienced option for that position.
Given a pre-season he'll do wonders with Gray/Bergs etc... but right now he - and Spurs - just can't risk their out of possession inexperience.
I think if De Zerbi could have one wish right now it would be that Bentancur could play a full 90 minutes. We lose control of any game the moment he's substituted. And it was like that for Frank early doors.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start the same midfield three as he clearly values the experience, but then maybe make the subs earlier for the fresh legs.
I expect so too
It's interesting his thread is much more "quiet" than any of the previous recent managers we've had. 205 pages during the most critical time in Spurs' modern history.
Maybe that's because he's doing relatively better than expected so he hasn't drawn the hate posting?
Anyway 1 point is all he needs to become an instant legend
We are playing way better under him. Long may it continue. Win at the bridge and he is worth every penny.It's interesting his thread is much more "quiet" than any of the previous recent managers we've had. 205 pages during the most critical time in Spurs' modern history.

Only managed to watch the Leeds game yesterday.
And I have to repeat myself - have to give credit to de Zerbi.
Took over in very challenging time and we are 4 games unbeaten in a row - a feat we have managed once this year - from round 4-7!
What is as important is that first time after really long period I feel that in Brighton and Leeds games we would have also deserved to win! I couldn't say that in some fames under previous managers that we actually did win. Truly remarkable.
And now we play Chelsea in next round. Team that has 1 win since 10th of February. Gather a point and survival is guaranteed.
Pretty sure I am not the only one that has warmed up to RDZ!

Just make the subs a bit earlier. Trouble is, he doesnt, quite rightly, trust the replacements.
Yes, except the do wonders stuff. He will improve them yes. But they just aren't good enough to be strongest 11 for Spurs right now. Or in the foreseeable future.
100pc. He has been superb so far.
I am immensely grateful to him. And so far he is worth every £
Will be shoicking if he does that. I don't think he will.
But he does put trust in his most experienced players. Rightly so, thus far. I think the GK situation is different though.
maybe new tactic for the next season ,for the second half at home if we are winning at halftime
(A Soccer Pitch Divided: The Bizarre Fence of Kusey
The curious case of the fence built right across the soccer pitch in Kusey (a district of Klötze, .)
So they're more a volleyball team or what, lol
i dont know
but is there a rule against putting a fence up for the second half in the fa rules book?
You know when you see a rule so self evident - like "no guns in the airport" in America, and you think - clearly someone did that, for the rule to be in place.
yeh i know its silly , im just watching at the moment stupid/silly things that happens in germany and saw that ,
and as it seems everybody hates us anyway, we can maybe start to think of (outside the box stuff ) that makes everybody hates us even more
i like Vicario but you 100% right kinsky has to start
