Team vs Burnley

[SwedishSpurs]

Lloris
Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies
Dier Dembele
Eriksen Dele Son
Kane

The only change I would make is Son in for Wanyama. Not only was Wanyama very poor against Chelsea, but it felt like we were in desperate need for Son's pace. Unless we make a massive signing this week, I don't see what else could be changed. I was tempted to make a back three with Sanchez in it, but it might be too early to start him already (?)

Is Son ready though? havent had over 30 mins/game yet

Why are we playing on Sunday, as opposed to Saturday?

I'd wait to see who's fit, because Dembele looked like he was pulling up as he tried to get near Alonso to stop the 2nd goal.

It is hopefully not.

Find it hard to believe we've spent £40m on Sanchez to sit on bench.Imo we will play 3 every game now injury permitting.so sanchez for dier as long as he's had few days to settle in.Fitness shouldn't be an issue.Give him a game before Everton away.

Sanchez hasnt even got his WP yet

 

[dude573]

I'd still be keen to feature Wanyama, even after his performance yesterday. We need him up to speed as he is the best DM we have when he is fully fit.

Replace Wimmer with Sanchez if he's available.
Replace KWP with Nkoudou if he's fit.

At Wembley? Will they wreck the turf?

Yes at Wembley, it's been held there for nearly 100 years.

Pitch might make it a bit more entertaining. A few bobbles on the pitch and Sissoko's attempted control might fly in the top corner.

Here's hoping we've sold him by then...

When is Rose fit?

I revert back to the formation we have done our best in. If Dembele is fit then I could see him taking the place of winks. But I am all in with a more fluid midfield with the metronomic presence of Winksy.

Burnley have been pretty impressive this year to start so won't be easy. Think we win this tho at 4-1.

Dier needs to settle in the CB role for me. He is far to slow on the ball in the midfield and if we wants to be a regular in the side with Sanchez moving in, I have to think that it is in the back 3 that he needs to focus.

The DM role he is challenging for for me goes: Vic, Dembele, Dier with the possibility of Sanchez being ahead of him. I think his performances since his second year here have been strongest in the back three but I honestly could see him getting beaten for time if Ross comes in and adds more competition in the midfield.

Why are we playing on Sunday, as opposed to Saturday?

Rubgy League game at Wembley on Saturday, so have to play a passing game on a pitch that has bee battered by rugby players 24 hours before. Its time Poch changed tactics playing at Wembley, we are going to be murdered by teams with pace which we lack.

 

[Spurs 1961]

I'd still be keen to feature Wanyama, even after his performance yesterday. We need him up to speed as he is the best DM we have when he is fully fit.

Yes he needs game time to get back to his best and one game a week is ideal at the moment. If he is doubtful fitness wise then maybe we will leave him out but he is usually nailed on for a starting position. He was poor on Sunday though I believe that will be a one off

Just thinking that myself although it will not be as bad union but are they happy with 25mm of grass that Poch wants?
