Each recreation is huge proper now with Graham Potter below an excellent quantity of strain from the followers and the media, if maybe not fairly as a lot from the membership proper now at the least.
However the Spurs recreation nonetheless has an actual feeling of it being a must-win. I need to see us carry out effectively, and most significantly, rating objectives. In spite of everything, that’s what wins soccer matches, you actually simply have to attain greater than your opponent.
A couple of individuals have talked about this as an concept, and I agree with it. I’d prefer to see Raheem Sterling deployed because the ‘false 9’ on Sunday. Certain, we all know he isn’t a significant purpose menace, however then we lack that collectively. I simply can’t see a method again/method in for Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in spite of everything that has occurred and he’s additionally been very poor for us. And I can not hold watching Kai Havertz play as our striker, it’s painful.
I additionally need to see us proceed with the again 4, as a result of I feel it’s essential to good a settled lineup.
Sterling won’t be essentially the most prolific participant, however I feel he’s presently our greatest possibility as a 9, and he can interchange with Joao Felix, who can play near him. I additionally assume Sterling will be good with link-up play, and can even run in behind.
He’s robust on the ball and is usually a actual nuisance to defenders. Interchanging with Felix would actually give their defence one thing to consider, while additionally creating room in behind for Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke to function in once they come inside.
This might make for a really fluid assault that will drag opposition gamers out of their positions. So this is able to be the lineup I’d go for on Sunday:
I’ve received Denis Zakaria in there alongside Enzo Fernandez and Potter merely HAS to see that is nonetheless a significant difficulty. We have to use extra of a defensive midfielder alongside Enzo, it’s as clear as daylight to me, I hope it’s to Potter.
The remainder of the group picks itself for me proper now. If we line up this fashion, I’d be pretty assured of getting a end result at Spurs on Sunday, however what we’ll want is for the entire group to be on the prime of their recreation. Felix, Mudryk, and Enzo have been all off it within the final recreation/lately, and we’d like them to spark again up once more, in addition to the remainder of the group.
I believed Sterling was fairly vibrant towards Southampton, and I truthfully assume he can do a job there for now. Clearly it’s FAR from splendid, however we lack a real goalscoring 9 and want to handle that in the summertime. Till then, why not do that? He’s not going to be any worse than Havertz has been enjoying there this season, and I imply that with the upmost respect to a participant I’d like to see succeed right here however I simply don’t assume he’ll.
Additionally, I feel there shall be possibilities to counter Spurs as effectively at occasions in the course of the recreation, and this assault has a whole lot of tempo in it, particularly with Sterling main it. Meals for thought.
