All those players can adapt easily to this system, so can Kane and Berahino.[formation=442, Lloris, Trippier, Toby, Vertonghen, Rose, Chadli, Dier, Nabil, Eriksen, Berahino, Kane][/formation]
with N'jie, Alli, Mason and Austin also having a lot of playing time. A man can dream
but Poch will never stop playing the 4231![]()
I think there are more than enough games to keep two strikers happy, and the option for two up top might be useful against bottom-half sides that we've traditionally struggled to seal all three points against.
I know this is probably a waste of my time typing this, but could we keep things on the topic of transfers??? This thread is turning into dear diary or battle royale with whoever is arguing with Sammy, it's getting very tedious scrolling through the bullshit
Nabil had a bad couple of games this season, okay, but now everyone rates Mason above him? what?

The fact we've managed to finish 5th or higher so many times is quite incredible and a lot to do with other teams cocking up. The fact is we're the 6th richest team in the league and can not afford the significantly higher wages of the teams above us. We finished 4th the first time because City were still building and the second time because Chelsea had a horrible season in the league. Then throughout these years Liverpool seem to have been consistently under achieving which handed us the 5th and 4th place finishes they should really be getting.
Our way forwards is the new stadium, until that's built the best we can do is build the foundations of a great team and enjoy it. If we manage a miracle 4th place finish that would be great but we can't expect it.
I'm enjoying our football at the moment and I'm loving the passion shown by all our players, especially the youth graduates. The best part about where we are at the moment though is because of the way we are building our team we can really only go forwards.
