Mauricio Pochettino has a few decisions to make ahead of the trip to Bournemouth, as injuries once again rob him of the opportunity to field his strongest side.
Toby Alderweireld is out, meaning that Eric Dier should once again deputise alongside Jan Vertonghen. Danny Rose is also a doubt after picking up a knock against Bayer Leverkusen and it seems sensible to field Ben Davies – who looked good going forward against West Brom – rather than risk the England left-back.
In midfield, Mousa Dembele came on as a sub against Leverkusen and is an option to start. Another big question is whether Vincent Janssen should start up front, or if Heung-Min Son will lead the line as he did in the recent victory over Manchester City.
Here’s our Spurs team to face Bournemouth. What’s yours?
Lloris
walker, dier, jan, rose
Wanyama, Dembele
Lamela, Dele, Eriksen
Son
I was gonna name mine but it’s was exactly the same as yours so
Can’t believe people still want Lamela to start. He consistently attracts the least player ratings for his tepid performances. Definitely start him on the bench. Otherwise agree with the starting X1 if Rose is fit.
Perfect. Until Lamela learns to do things simply, he stays on the bench.
Glad you let out Lamela. Eriksen has not been performing too well but I think he is better without Lamela in the side. I would like to see N’Koudou, Carter-Vickers and Edwards get decent time. These guys must start playing for the first team, and quickly.
Lamela should be left out. Eriksen is too good a player to consider dropping
Pamela gives the ball away, he can’t beat an opponent, he has no vision and is not tactically aware, when he plays it’s like playing with ten men. in a nutshell he’s rubbish.
Brilliant. What I’ve been saying all along. Janssen is incredibly good too, shields the ball much better than Kane…
Bit harsh if you ask me, on his day Lamela is a very good player
Lamela on the bench start with Nkoudou
Lamela installerad that bad just bce he doesnt score goals, he has a good work rate and we need that
Isnt*
Lamela, Lamela, Lamela! What a lame player. He is so bad that whenever he gets the ball I turn away knowing that nothing much will come from it. Let’s face it, the guy was bought for his skills and goal-scoring ability but all he gives his good work rate, which is fine if you are in a side with several potential regular scorers. But with Dembele, never look like scoring in 10 years, Sissoko (1 goal in 49 games for France and another 1 in 50 matches for France), the team is filled with work-aholics and creativity and invention is what is missing. Lamela will not give you that.
