Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Sunderland

A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

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

      Someone has to be the fall guy for Aguero I guess and Haz is the one who hasn't scored in a few games.

      Poor fixtures too and I think his stats have dropped off in recent games?

      After today. I really dont want to cos he played well.

      Problem with that is that he played well for others and that doesn't work for me in terms of fpl.

      If i get rid of him, it will be for a 4.4 striker.

      This is my team.

      Foster / Heaton
      Valencia / Baines / Evans / Holebas / Souaré*
      Sánchez / Hazard / Antonio / Punchon / Capoue
      Ibrahimovic / Costa / Benteke

      I have 2 free transfers and zero, zip, zilch, nada in the bank.

      The moves this week should be

      A) Ibrahimovic + Hazard -> Agüero + Firmino + (£0.1 short for Mané), or
      B) something else?

      Any comment is appreciated!

      Souaré must be transferred at some point, naturally, but that can wait as long as his price doesn’t fall.
