Who would win?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

How about these, who would win (first eleven, different formations)?

MySpurs:
[formation=343, Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Lennon, Sandro, Paulinho, Rose, Lamela, Adebayor, Eriksen][/formation]

PochSpurs:
[formation=4231, Lloris, Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Davies, Capoue, Bentaleb, Lamela, Lennon, Eriksen, Adebayor][/formation]
First one, I'd swap Kaboul and Vertonghen around as Kaboul is Right footed and would lead to the same avenues as Naughton last season.
 
Spurs 1:
[formation=4231, Lloris, Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Davies, Bentaleb, Capoue, Lamela, Eriksen, Townsend, Soldado][/formation]

Vs

Spurs 2:
[formation=4231, Worn, Naughton, Chiriches, Dawson, Rose, Dembele, Paulinho, Lennon, Holtby, Chadli, Adebayor][/formation]

Subs: Friedel, Fryers, Dier, Assou-Ekotto, Sandro, Carroll, Mason, Kane.

That's some squad depth right there.
Who's Worn ?
 
It would be close but I think team 2 would win over the course of a season.

The attacking 4 in team 1 were largely used by AVB and their scoring record was terrible. Not because they are bad players but it was a bad mix. Townsend was terrible and could not set up Soldado if his life depended on it. Lamela looked like he was drowning in every game with no presence alongside him in attack.

Eriksens free kicks and corners would be wasted on the powderpuff attackers so it would be another season of winning loads of corners and coming away with next to nothing. In fact they were dangerous as we got fucking countered from them haha.

The dm's would cancel each other out.

Team 2s defenders are quick and the combo of them and dm's would shepherd team 1 into empty possession just like last season. Worse defenders managed it via back fours that cost less last season.

It will be close but team 1 screams AVB style bumping up against the parked bus and struggling for goals. Soldado and Townsend would be the albatross around the neck of the attacks.
