Don't really get this, Stoke have some big centre backs that are good in the air, so we don't really want to play to their strengths. And also, don't they play three at the back? Going two up front suits the 3ATB better as they can have two CB's marking and one covering, with the full backs covering the wingers.I would start Llorente and Kane.
I can’t see Lamela getting a start yet. Needs to be eased back in.I wanna see Winks, Dele, Eriksen, Son and Lamela, all starting.
My other half is coming to this game with me, her first ever match. (She has zero interest in football). Hope it’s an exciting display and a romping victory to expel her view that football is extremely dull! No doubt it will be a 0-0 draw now.I'm actually going to this one. A fellow Spurs fan and one of my best friends son is going to his first ever match. When he was born I got him a Spurs Dribbler package for his Christening which had various stuff like a Spurs bib and scarf in it. His future was sealed before he even knew it.
This is honestly not that bad of an ideaWonder if we need to change the FB pairings and play Trippier with Rose and Aurier with Davies. So have one speedy FB at all times.
Just bloody start the game with some tempo and energy for christ sake. Tired of these insipid first half displays.
Get that early goal (or at least look like getting it) and the bastards should crumble...
We badly need this win. COYS!
I’ve really grown to like Stoke, thanks largely to their unwavering hatred of Woolwich.
