You and me both mate. My poor daughter is a fanatical Blue but her boyfriend of 7 years is a rs.

She hates the rs but her bloke is actually nice for a rs

A rarity mate. lol

Seen a few people say about playing Alli in midfield. He plays as a forward off the stiker and whenever he has played in midfield for Spurs hasn't been any good.

Good interview on the Toffee Blues with a Spurs Youtuber who gives a good insight in to him as a player.



I think Lampard will play him just off DCL. Frank even said himself that Alli plays higher up the pitch than he did. I think we'll need to play him as a forward to get the best out of him.

Yes, that is the only position he can play. He is not in any world a midfielder.

Hoddle already getting the digs in.

Suspect he fears Spurs will have egg on their face

That's what I've been trying to guess unless he does use him in midfield but it seems Frank knows he is usually employed off the striker.

That Spurs fan said he was rubbish when they tried using him in midfield.

Always looked more effective just off Kane

Probably Richarlison. You're talking about a system where DCL has always shined, well into the box with someone else there behind to give the CBs something to think about.

Richarlison has never looked that good out on the wing that far from goal in a system like that. Full marks for effort and tracking back, but playing him there takes away the best of what he can do offensively.

Richarlson always looks most likely to put away 50/50 chance though

Right, but he doesn't get a lot of those playing wide and deeper out left. He's not a pure #9, either. DCL is the player we want on the headers and the 8-12 yard balls, if we decide to attack more centrally.

Whether we go more direct or play more like today probably depends on what Lampard feels like the other side will give him that day. The extra COVID subs give him an opportunity to use those as Plan A and Plan B.

He said a few times that he thinks we needed a more technical player over Alli. More a CM than a 10.

Seems like we got that with VDB.

Think Alli would be best at 10 or on the left of a 3 in the forward line. If he does play 10 behind DCL then that could also interest Southgate if they click.
