re: Tottenham Hotspur 2015-16 Season Long Thread | Don't Let Up!!

I cannot seem to wrap my mind around why we do not play Dembele in the CDM role. He is a huge footballer with a ton of force, but also skill and great technical ability. He also makes good runs forward and normally puts the ball into good space.

Earlier today I noticed him playing under Walker quite a few times. Every time he did this and got the ball, it felt like he was drawing LCFC midfielders and creating more space in front of the ball.

His style of play is much more like a Matic and Yaya, than a winger.

It just seems too obvious.

Even if by the grace of the BPL transfer gods we land Wanyama, I would want both of them starting in the CDM roles right now. Dier doesn't understand midfield space and where to be. Bentaleb is a wild card right now. Mason is just too small and looks like every challenge he makes is about to break his legs. Alli is essentially an unknown right now.

Anyone want to add to this or call me an idiot? I'm just drunk right now playing Halo and need to discuss some Spurs shite.
