Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Swansea

3,383 Comments
Share

Saturday’s action concludes at Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Swansea City in the 5.30pm kick-off.

All eyes are on Harry Kane after he scored twice in each of his last two appearances for the north London outfit over the last few days.

Over 20% of FPL managers have handed him the armband this week – second, once again, to Romelu Lukaku’s 30% backers.

Kane was handed the armband by 17 of the top 100 heading into Gameweek 5, while team-mates Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli were selected by nine and seven of that elite group respectively.

All three start along with Heung-Min Son but Mauricio Pochettino sorely disappoints the 345,000+ who drafted in Ben Davies by benching the Welshman against his former side.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

              Didn't watch the game, but doubt Davies was the reason for lack of goals.

                Lack of service didn't help. Dembele missed more imo.

            Not been doing much for a while? I don't own him but what do you expect from a 5m mid anyway? He scored today, assisted when he last started. That's what you expect from your 5m mid I reckon.

            Not sure to be honest.

            In some ways I feel it's because he wants to rest his favourite player once the game is won but that might be clutching...

                Atsu at 5m is cheaper than all the players that seem to be compared with "good stats," hes just there to free up funds and do an ok job. Averaging 4pts a game is perhaps even punching above his weight

              It's testing. I also felt like giving up after gameweek 3 but things changed for me. The only thing I'd tell you is don't give up till the end.

          It looks great after this week, but next week might be a different thing.

          You don't have United,Chelsea coverage in attack and these teams could easily score a punch next week and you're back to the drawing board.

        Before Pep came in Aguero was possibly the most essential player ever (in my time playing the game anyway) and now he's back to his best and playing every week. He's looking incredible.

            Last season he was injured and suspended. Missed so many minutes still manages to get 20 goals.When he plays he scores.

          When Lewandowski went to Bayern, Pep played him wide, dropped him intermittently and generally complained about his game. He did all the "I want more from him" talk that we heard last season about Aguero. Unsurprisingly, Lewandowski's goal record was way below his Dortmund levels in that first season.

          In Lewandowski's 2nd season, having shown Pep that he had adjusted his game and adapted to Pep's requirements, he was played in his preferred position and scored even more goals than he had done at Dortmund.

          Sound familiar at all?
