Lennon over Mirallas? Holtby over Gibson? I probably wouldn't have either centre half over Distin either. Picking an XI from both teams, I'd go

[CENTRE]Lloris

Walker Jagielka Distin Baines

Mirallas Gibson Parker Bale

Fellaini

Defoe[/CENTRE]

Their first eleven will have Dembele and Parker in it.

Dembele over Osman. Parker over Gibson. Lennon and Mirallas is a toss up like. And I'd probably throw Vertonghen over Distin.

I wouldn't even have Walker over Coleman, Walker has been gash this season according to Spurs fans.

The two debatables for me were Walker/Coleman and Dawson/Distin.

Parker over Gibson ? Nah. Nah.

And Dembele would play CAM, and no way i'd have him over Fellaini. The goals alone make Fellaini the one to pick.

 

[kenada_blue]

No. No it doesn't.

Just because a team wins some games without their only world class player doesn't mean they're a top side without him. They're not.

But you can say that about any team. Pull Baines and Fellaini out of ours...what do you have?

That's my point. Spurs are not all that without Bale. They would be 6th or 7th without him. I'm not saying we're any different.

Lennon is cack. If he wasn't fast, he wouldn't be a footballer.

Parker over Gibson ? Nah. Nah.

He's a better defensive midfielder. We don't have one. Gibson puts a foot in but he's wont break up play better than Parker. If not Parker then Sandro (who maybe would play over Parker if he wasnt injured).

That's what Jock said, Gibson next to Parker. I'd personally swap Parker for Sandro but no way Gibson should be out of the starting eleven.

He's big player. But I think Dembele is a massive player for them. When he's out, like Bale, they look dont anywhere near as good.

No Dembele then?

Crazy talk IMO.

Forgot about Sandro to be fair.

Him and Gibson in the middle.

So you'd have him over Fellaini ?

Bearing in mind Felli has scored 11 goals this season.

I'd happily have Dembele behind the striker but then Sandro/Parker would be getting dropped for Felli all day long. Whichever way it goes both Gibson and Felli should be in the starting eleven.

This.

Jesus, now Quinn is saying Spurs players need to step it up. I mean Newcastle have done alright but Spurs were clearly the better side.

Does he watch football ?

Over Gibson. Bang in the middle.

Why have Gibson and Parker/Sandro in the middle? They're too similar.

You need a bit of creativity in the middle.
