If we stick with the current style and utilise hard working players that press in midfield, the only place in this team on current form is on the bench.

Agreed, but I'm not sure that that style is really lasting. We've pressed far less this season, and obviously it's not gone well, but part of that is that our midfield lacks control.

Also, Dier is awful.

 

[C Kent]

That was funny

Liverpool are playing Spurs, calm down. Can't defend for toffee at the moment

Sigh

 

[omnomnom]

Eric Dier and Harry Maguire England CB partnership anyone?

The stuff of dreams

 

[Kelt]

Dire from Dier.

 

[robfosters]

Shocking that Maguire and Dier will both be in the squad

 

[C Kent]

Hie many players do spurs have injured? The way sky are going on it must be 6+..

I think it's more that Son, Richarlison, Lucas and Kulusevski are or have very recently been injured, and they're basically all the players they have who can do the role off Kane

Well, does anyone expect anything better while Southgate is still in charge?

I certainly don't.

Standard of football is dreadful, both midfields have been dreadful and the only real difference between both teams is our dreadful defence hasn't been as dreadful as Spurs so far.

In a word, dreadful.

Dont sit on the fence

Obviously they still in shell-shock from the Toon game.

2 - Having also been two goals behind at half-time against Newcastle, this is the first time Spurs have ever trailed by 2+ goals at half-time in consecutive Premier League home games. Deficit. pic.twitter.com/jVs6trPoB6

Trent - Dier - Maguire - Shaw?

 

[robfosters]

Trent - Dier - Maguire - Shaw?

That’ll do. At least we can be home early and give Saka a decent rest. And White, if he goes.

Actually if Dier and Maguire go and White and Maddison don’t, then that is the ultimate proof that form counts for nothing with Southgate.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Trent - Dier - Maguire - Shaw?

With Phillips starting having not played a game for City this season and an out of form Sterling in attack.

I'll take an early exit if Southgate gets the boot tbh.

Wtf , rubbish

 

[manic111]

Trent asleep again.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Trent asleep again.

Asleep? Think he's in a coma tbh.

 

[Purdy]

Second half going how we normally start games these days, everyone else usually scored by now though

 

[manic111]

Honestly, it's basic stuff like not looking around him. If he's not learned it by now he never will.
