With the second-leg of this tie against Fiorentina coming just days before the Capital One Cup final, there’s a certain pressure to get the job done at White Hart Lane.
Mauricio Pochettino will no doubt pick a strong side but there’s room for a little tinkering. We think Michel Vorm will start, along with Federico Fazio and Ben Davies in defence. Further forward this could be the perfect opportunity to give Nacer Chadli a start following his recent spell out.
Here’s our team to face Fiorentina tonight. What’s yours?
I rate Dembele > Lamela…
Lamela has no end product at the moment. Stats say it all – low goal + assist tally for the number of appearences he’s had.
Didn’t think i’d be such a fan of Dembele a month ago but his strength on the ball and eye for a pass has been good in the past few games. Makes a nice change from him playing in a deeper position and stifling counter-attacks by holding on to the ball too long and passing it sideways.
I think this could be a game for lamela to shine in, he is well suited to the italian game and could be a match winner in this game!
I would play Lloris instead of Vorm and Dier instead of Fazio
Lloris
Yedlin (Yes) – Fazio – Vertonghen – Rose
Stambouli – Paulinho
Lamela – Eriksen – Chadli
Adebayor
Kane, Walker, Mason, Bentaleb had to be fit for WHU.
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Are any of you suggesting Lamela should play? Obviously none of you have ever watched him play for Spurs. He’s utterly hopeless. It’s like playing with 10 men. A total waste of £30m. I hate the bloke with a passion. One of our worst, if not the worst, player we’ve ever been stupid enough to fritter our money on. Whoever signed him should be sacked as well! I don’t want him anywhere near the team or even the pitch!
