Lo Celso needs to be fast-tracked into the team, Winks need to be dropped. Rose needs to be dropped for Davies.

Agree... But cant see it happening this weekend. If he's not ready to start Vs the barcodes at home then away in the NLD aint the place

totally agree. we we screw up our expensive signings. we are the only club that buys expensive signings for a bench when we have won nothing. It's so daft. It's not like that helped Lamela. Management kept saying we need need to introduce him gradually. why??

like employing a talented member of staff then telling them to wait a few months before they start their true work.

You don't see F1 drivers get signed then get told. oh you in what....relax and get used to your mechanics and your team before you can start driving for us.

We actually have an ingrained unambitious approach to some aspects of on field play which is becoming infectious.

No way does Rose need dropping for Davies!

If Aurier is fit why on earth wouldn't he play? This right back mess is all on Poch.

Rose has been dross for a while mate. Davies is not a world beater, but I think he is a better defender than Rose now. Rose is getting in the team by default at the moment, not offering anything much going forward either.

The full back situation is totally down to the manager, spent all last season rotating, and has pretty well ruined every fullback at the club.

Rose over Davies all day for me. Just hope he's still here by the w/e. I think I remember reading he had talks with PSG & Juve earlier in the summer. Seems to want out & Spurs seem happy to let him find a club..... another odd move given the alternatives. Even Sessegnon on his best form is far better going forward than defending

Rose has to cut in the and defend a hell of a lot better and narrower to the LCB.

no need to change the defence, just give them a kick in the back side and start Verts ffs.

against teams we know will park the bus we need to have another plan

Lloris
KWP Toby Verts Rose
Ndombele
Lucas Dele Lo Celso Son
Kane

full backs having more onus on defending. Lucas and Son playing wider and stretching sides, Dele and Lo Celso making late runs in the box and creating. Kane and Ndombele having more room to operate in CM and ST effectively.

Rose is nowhere near the player he was. He is another getting in by default rather than on form. That is part of the problem.

Having said that, the midfield is a more pressing problem than the defence in my book.

I like it.... Thats like going back to the Ozzie Ardiles days with a front 5..... NDombele is gonna have to be some player if we are gonna get away with that

Lo Celso and Dele will have to work hard and come back as well to make a 433 when defending. Lucas and Son too.

Tired of seeing vs the likes of Newcastle at home very limited attacking/creative players on the pitch.

If Aurier is fit play him. No point in disrupting the whole team.

i was banging on about the ridiculous fullback situation all summer, so i have nothing else to say.

its an absolute mess. was a problem area last season and we have addressed the problem by making ourselves weaker. its actually laughable.

RB and a CM were the musts of the summer and Sessegnon and Lo Celso would have been the improvements to the squad.

facking mess.... cant see anything other than defeat at emirates

The problem with what Poch has been left to deal with is that he can't know his main eleven ahead of any given fixture.

That's because if he plans his 11 and then up to 3 players could be gone before the next game, it would be plans down the drain and wasted time.

How do you mitigate that? either you hope they'll still be there for the next game or you plan for the next game, with those players on the bench.

That's what happened with Eriksen. Possibly Verts too.

Toby made it clear that he is happy to stay unless he gets a long contract with a good club in Europe. What he got so far didn't even match his base salary at Spurs.
After the European windows close, Poch will be in a better place to know for certain his starting eleven and plan games around them.

The irony of it all. We play NLD game on the 1st Sept and European window closes on the following day

It's possible a late bid for Eriksen could see him not even make the bench for the NLD. Same with Toby and Verts.

Pray not

Don't want to. Sandy will be in the news arrested with a machete in his hands looking for Poch

Just read this
"It has left a number of Tottenham fans on social media fuming as they want the situation resolved with once and for all."

On HITC under the headings of

Tottenham fans react to Pochettino's comments about Christian Eriksen

How?

Eriksen now has a lovely contract on the table waiting for him to sign it, but he has refused to sign it until the European window shuts.

He is leaving his options open, and of course, he is praying for RM move.

What can the club do? Nothing. This is a player who has given 6 years of positive and exciting football to the club
Fans don;t realised that Poch is doing his best under the circumstances by only playing Eriksen sporadically to spare him any nasty injuries that would be detrimental to his move and fail his medical if RM came in for him.

If that happened, then we would be lumbered with a crocked player who would be aggrieved too.
