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

    Any good alternatives to Valencia?
    Seeing united today wasn't good...

    Pickford Jakupovic
    Valencia Baines McAuley Holebas Amat
    Sanchez Sterling Firmino Antonio Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Deeney

      How will you decide whether to play Capoue or Deeney? Or are you just planning on keeping Capoue benched?

      Let me rephrase that...Would you temporarily sell Firmino on WC to gain 0.1m from Sterling, given the fact you bought Firmino for 8.5m? 🙂

    So, to beat the price drop (and to get Kun in), how's this?

    1. Hazard + Ibra + Nacho >>> Bolasie + Kun + Costa (-8)
    2. Hazard + Ibra + Nacho >>> Sterling + Kun + Benteke (-8, no Chelsea cover)
    3. Ibra + Nacho >>> Kun + non-playing cheapo forward and money in the bank (-4)
    4. Nacho >>> Rondon and forget about Kun for now

    Rest of the attack is:

    Payet - Ozil - Capoue - Townsend
    Lukaku

      If Jaku rises, will you be able to get £0.1m out of swapping him for Pickford, plus enough extra for downgrading either McAuley or Holebas? Ozil is great, but when Sanch is on a streak you ought to have him.
