SC ITKs sating Eze was at the training ground yesterday. Let’s see if it’s total bs or a lucky guess 😐
----------------------------------------------------------------------
probably true as its a position where we dont need a player.

Our striker situation is completely wrong unforgivable and negligent from Daniel levy. It is ruining Harry Kane, having to play every game and it’s no surprise he gets so many long term injuries.

To me, it’s criminal that Aurier (average, but actually a full back by trade) has been given a licence to go forward and worry less about defending whereas Sess (more talented but a winger at the moment) is being asked to be a proper full back and defend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good point
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jose explained this recently. He basically wants Ben Davies starting and Aurier as the forward full back. Quote here:

“If you want to know what I wanted to do, look at my first game against West Ham,” said Mourinho earlier this month. “That’s the way I thought I was going to develop the team. Defend with a back four; attack with a back three. That means that my left-back defends as a left-back and then, when we attack, my left-back becomes one of the three in the back. Build with three, protect the right-back and do overloads on the other side. That was the way I wanted to develop the team. That was the first day of unlucky: goodbye Ben Davies.”

Mourinho’s plan was to use a back four when his team did not have the ball and then, as soon as they gained possession, change shape to a back three and go on the attack. Davies would tuck in as a third centre-back and give right-back Serge Aurier the freedom to break forward and join the attack. With Eric Dier working as a shield in midfield and Harry Winks setting the tempo, it was a system that worked well.


From here: https://www.theguardian.com/football/who-scored-blog/2020/jan/22/spurs-sign-striker-january-transfer-window-harry-kane-tottenham-premier-league
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet, he continued with the same system that didn't fit the players at disposal, while bemoaning his terrible luck, rather than working on a new system that wouldn't require a teenage winger to tuck in at centre half.

£15m a year right there folks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even before Tanganga's emergence, could have had Foyth as the defensive right back, or have dier split the CBs

Plenty of ways to make a back 3 in possession

I was coming round to the idea as he looked a natural finisher but let’s be honest no one wanted him in the summer so I’m glad we never shelled out £30m for him

I'd have preferred him to Lucas up top obviously but I'm not gutted, prefer it to overpaying for a player we didnt really want

What’s our best line up right now?

Lloris
Aurier Sanchez Toby Tanganga
Gio Winks Ndombele
Dele
Lucas Son

Second string

Gazzainga
Foyth Dier Verts Sessegnon
Gedson Skipp Wanyama
Lamela Parrott Bergwijn

Injured
Davies
Sissoko
Kane

tanganga left back in our best line up

He’s played the best there out of everyone but obviously Davies would’ve been in it if not injured

Dele at LB anyone?

Lol would be too good

Why would they sell such a good player and their current captain though
We'd have to pay big money for him.

I'd be so down but it's definitely bs
