The Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Middlesbrough

4 February 2017 2202 comments

Share:

A breathless afternoon delivering goals and points aplenty now turns to White Hart Lane to provide a fitting climax.

A match that could have huge bearing on our Gameweeks, it features Spurs striker Harry Kane burdened by more than 484,000 (11.2%) captains armbands, including 26 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Meanwhile, Dele Alli heads into the clash with Middlesbrough backed by more than 188,000 managers and, following Romelu Lukaku’s devastating haul against Bournemouth, the pressure will be on the pair to deliver for their owners.

Aitor Karanka’s men will be no pushovers: they have allowed just 12 goals in 11 away trips, with only Spurs and Chelsea boasting a superior defensive record away from home.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Nice with Lukaku(C), but sick of keeping Azpi instead of just taking a transfer to Alonso. Always something else I have done...

    Heaton
    Azpilicueta-Baines-Brunt
    Sanchez-Alli-Eriksen-Antonio-Phillips
    Lukaku-Zlatan

    Jaku, Friend, Amat, Anichebe.

    1FT, 2.3 IB

    A) Azpii -> Alonso
    B) Friend-> Coleman
    C) Azpi-Friend -> Alonso-Coleman -4p
    D) Save

    Any thoughts please? Got 3 players who either are injured or not playing, maybe Friend is back to next game.
    But I'm so scared of Alonso every game, and he is a seasonkeeper. I cant just wait.

      Barnes was completely unexpected.

      If I owned Jaku, I would've played him against Pool, they're seriously out of form...so that one's on you 🙂

      All the usual midfielder suspects (except Hazard) failed again...that's just unfortunate.

      So don't feel too bad.

    Is it worth taking any of:

    Ibra, Kane or Defoe out for Lukaku?

    I don't see it. There is too much switching back and forth between players. Kane hauls, I get him in and he slows down. Ibra hauls, I get him in and he slows down. I feel like players don't get a chance in teams and a lot of point chasing occurs.

    Have had a theory for some time now that it is a bad idea to captain a player from one of the better teams when they face what should be an obviously inferior team. Seems the inferior team just parks the bus and we get the results such as Kane today or Ibra last week. Sure, Kane scored, but it was a peno. Otherwise, he and his comrades wsre kakkity kak.
