He mostly played in a 4-5-1 from what i remember, and he seemed to like to run onto the ball played over the top. if we play any games away from home where the opposition defend high up the pitch to press and compress the play, this system may work well - especially with huddlestones range of passing. i was think of a line up like this: Gomes Hutton Woodgate King Bale Huddlestone O'Hara Modric Lennon Dos Santos Bent We would need to defend deep and invite teams to come at us a bit, and that might be its flaw.

In which case, all you tossers who think we have egg on our faces really are delusional. It's you lot that keep shouting about us finishing top 4, not the vast majority of spurs fans. 90% of us believed it was a possibility the past couple of summers, but as they are this summer, the odds are in favour of Liverpool scraping 4th place again. If we do finish 4th, I think all Spurs fans would be entitled to shouting "WE TOLD U SO!" even though only 10% of us predicted it. Its only fair we should take undeserved credit given that we always have to take the ridicule about making predictions that we never made.
