Starting lineup for spurs

[Spudulike]

I tend to stay away from preseason so haven't witnessed Okoli. Is he really a better choice for starter than Vestergaard?

[StanSP]

Happy to wait til 7pm 19th Aug to vent frustration.

Sub David Lowe on to bend in a blooter near the end.

That team is going down. Any team starting Wout Faes will get relegated, guy is useless, got ripped apart in the championship, will be worse in the prem. 

 

No creativity and no striker. Look great!

Vestergaard got destroyed last year in the prem in a 2, OK it’s 12 mo the down the line after a good season, but I think he struggles massively in a 2.

Depressing 

It really is.

 

Outside of the lack of new signings, I also think it's depressing that the lineup and tactics of the team feels like it's going backwards. We saw in last friendly that Kristiansen as an attacking left back didn't work, Ndidi next to Winks doesn't offer the same build up as with Ricardo and it means we don't use our wingers in quite the same way.

 

Here's a goal we scored against Bournemouth last season, as well as some of the rest of our play. For me this was the blueprint to work with, but we have seen nowhere near this level of fluency in preseason. It might only be preseason, but we saw moves like it this time last preseason, so it's a back step in terms of change of approach for me.

Was he moonlighting with another team then that I wasn't paying attention to? 

 

Strange way to make a decision about the players capabilities.

And the thing about that is that Vesty aside, that match was all squad players until the subs.  Bournemouths lineup was closer to their best 11 than ours was.

Vestergaard got sent to rot in the reserves in our relegation season.

I think Cooper will go with:

 

              Hermansen

Justin Coady Okoli Kristiansen

             Winks Ndidi

       Fatawu Reid Mavididi

                  Daka

Swap Vesty for Coady and that would be the team Cooper will pick - shows how far away we are from being competitive - miles!

[Genesis1]

With how much game time and captaincy Coady has had in preseason, I think he starts next to Faes, I don't think Okali is a Cooper signing so it makes sense.

[Noahfence]

Such a depressing selection of players

Not sure it is miles off if you put in a striker and number 10 of sufficient quality.

If it was down to ME to pick the team, with the current players, and current injuries, I'd go with:

 

                           Hermansen

 

   Ricardo      Coady       Okoli   Kristiansen

 

                       Ndidi       Winks

That's honestly not a bad line-up all things considered, people make it out to be worse than it is.

 

We're a newly promoted club facing points deductions, that line-up could deffo be worse.

These line-up suggestions just look rank.

 

I've was previously thinking that there have been some over the top, borderline hysterical reactions and predictions over the state of the club and the upcoming season on here, but seeing it here in black and white - I'm joining in. Hmph.

I rate Vestergaard over Coady tbh. Faes is prem level when he wants to be, I'd take him over Okoli as well. 

It'll be Ward on the bench not Iversen, that much is clear.

[LVFox]

Is Ricky P genuinely our most attractive option as a number 10 right now?

 

Cause if you put a gun to my head and told me we had to play someone in that position, that's who I'd choose 

[Silva Fox]

Hoping for a waterlogged/frozen pitch as things stand right now!
