The whole defence apart from Reguilon are squad backups? Also what about Tanganga?A thread where everyone can air their controversial opinions on our squad players. Its a squad game. We need quality back up. Players that can come in and deputise in the PL and play in the cups and against lesser European games.
Lots of marmite players in this list. Why dont we keep all our bitching and moaning in a super thread.
Squad player rating
Hart 8 - very good backup keeper
Davies 7 - average
Doherty 7 - early days but looks average
Aurier - 7.5 flashes of brilliance and stupidity in equal measure
Dier - 8 good squad player
Sanchez - 7.5 see Aurier
Rodon - untested
Toby - 7 becoming a liability against pacey oppo. Can just about handle slower aerial based teams
Winks - 5 Awful, sell
Sissoko - 6 not performing. Not creative enough to play with Hojberg.
Lamela - 8 great squad player
Moura - 8 borderline 1st 11 / squad player
Vinicius - 8 looks handy
Bergwijn - 9 good call for first team spot
Bale - 9 as above
Jack Clark 6 - not for me
Dele Alli - 8 great back up, keep
Its a pretty strong second string with the obvious weakness being CB and CM.
Tanganga is promising but far too raw to be considered first choice. Definitely needs more games this season.I think Tanganga and Toby should be our staring CBs or Tanganga and Sanchez vs quicker attacks. Dier is the weakest link, always has been - always will be. Nice lad - but not a CB
another thread to talk about the same thing, created at 2:40 in the morning...
I love the cold turkey for the next game that we all have in this season :dierpochhug:

It's not that I don't like it ; I just find our obsession quite funny
We need at least 4 CT players. Right now they are Kane, Bale, Winks and a 4th choice goalkeeper. Skipp won't need to be registered for two more seasons by which time Bale may well leave. Even if Bale stays, Skipp will probably take the place of the keeper.Skipp will rightfully replace him next season - with Ndombele, Lo Celso and PEH finally settling in - he's finished here
Thats the ideaThis thread will be cancer in 3, 2, 1..........
You think Bale will be a 'squad' player??.....ok.....
How is Toby below Sanchez lmao? He may or may not be a liability against pacy opposition (he wasn't at all against Michail Antonio btw), Sanchez is a liability, period.
The whole defence apart from Reguilon are squad backups? Also what about Tanganga?
As it stands Alderweireld and Dier are the first choice CBs.

Great contribution to the topic of Spurs discussion - seem the only cancerous comment is predictably from yourself. Cut the tumour off so the body can begin to healThis thread will be cancer in 3, 2, 1..........
Just to be clear - is the rating for their ability or their usefulness as squad players / depth?A thread where everyone can air their controversial opinions on our squad players. Its a squad game.
