Line-up and what I think of the front three tonight

So the line-up for tonight is:

Lloris

Naughton

Chiriches

Vertonghen

Fryers

Sandro

Dembele

Eriksen

Lamela

Defoe

Lennon

This is a great starting 11, especially attacking wise. For our attack we have Lennon who is returning from injury tonight and tonight he will show his pace and have an impact on the game. I hope lennon can get some crosses in tonight and create some play for the right wing.

Lamela is very likely to score tonight as he hasn't done yet and he needs to prove to us he is worth the 33million we paid for him, that is why I think he will have a huge impact on the game tonight. Also, there is Defoe who is very desparate to make his way into the England team and feature in the World Cup next year and has had a huge impact on the Europa league so far and he is of course going to keep that up tonight with at least 1 goal.

New Christian Eriksen song

lyrics-

Eriksen, sen, sen; Came to play for AVB.
To the left to the right; He’s our midfield Dynamite.
When he plays for the Lilywhites; He makes Özil look shite

Tottenham Hotspur vs Tromso

1-0 goal to none other than Jermaine Defoe, he scores on his second chance at goal and amazing finish calmly chipped over the goalkeeper aster 20 minutes of play. 

Lamela looks hungry for goals.

Sigurdsson looks hungry for goals.

Danny Rose looks hungry for goals.

Defoe looks hungry for goals.

Sandro looking good in the middle.

4-0 at a bare minimum is my guess but could easily be more. 

Kaboul nearly scores from corner just wide half volley.

Danny Rose - Tottenham Hotspur

This post is going to be about Spurs left back Danny Rose. 

Rose is a very young player and I'm sure the reason AVB chose him this year ahead of Assou-Ekotto because is because of the potential Rose has. £86m player Gareth Bale was once in the shoes  of Danny Rose as a young Spurs left back who could bomb up and down the wings taking on players and always getting back and winning the ball back with his great strength.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rose scores a few goals in the premier league this season and he has already picked up one great goal in the Europa league.

I don't think we have a left back problem.

Starting line out against Tromso

 Here's our team for today - Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Rose; Dembele, Sandro; Lamela, Holtby, Sigurdsson; Defoe. Come on you spurs

Spurs could bid on El Sharaawy in January.

AVB may use the side that faced Norwich again after he said it worked so well and our passing made Norwich physically exhausted!

Tottenham could battle it out with Chelsea and Arsenal to sign Spanish striker Fernando Llorente in January.

Erik Lamela's 18 year old brother was held hostage by armed gunmen on Friday night but is this the reason Lamela didn't start yesterday's game against Norwich?
