Comments on: Who Should Tottenham Play Up Front? http://soccerlens.com/who-should-tottenham-play-up-front/3224/ Football News Sat, 26 May 2012 13:33:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: NOODLES http://soccerlens.com/who-should-tottenham-play-up-front/3224/#comment-60619 NOODLES Sun, 23 Sep 2007 16:24:02 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/who-should-tottenham-play-up-front/3224/#comment-60619 I would like to know why fans are saying keane filling in the hole, I cannot see what he contributes to the team, it would be better if they gave him a ball and then the other ten players could get on with the game, while he fiddles about. The best player for that position is Lennon, he played there once last season against Charlton, and was brilliant. As long as Jol is still at the Lane he will pick Robbo, JJ, keane + 8 others whatever mood he wakes up to in the morning, he seems a very obstinate man, who worries more about himself than the people who pay his wages, us FANS. It seems to me he wants to wind Levy up, with the team he picked today against Bolton, we needed to win the game not bore the pants off everybody. I hope he goes before our best players leave.

Besides that, at the current rate Spurs are going, Jol will not have much time left to experiment on new things. It is either make or break for him.

When I think of the talismanic quality any one of these players could have at any club outside the top 8 (though some could, at their best, easily slot into a top 4 side's starting lineup) it makes me want to strangle Mr. Jol. Tottenham are not Liverpool - they don't have enough talent in the midfield, they don't have enough talent in the technical zone. What Tottenham needs is consistency of results and the only way they're gonna get that is if Jol picks a winning strategy and sticks with it. Each of the four forwards you mention have pros and cons, it's a matter of finding the best players for the system Jol chooses and, vice-versa, the best system for the players he's got. At the moment it seems too much like Jol's strategy is just to put talented players on the pitch and hope they get the job done.

Jol have to start with Robbie Keane because he is the captain. So my starting pick will never be true. Maybe they can put Keane, Defoe and Berbatov. Keane as an attacking midfielder.

Therefore, back to the 5-3-2 (wing backs) days! Robbo; Chimbonda, Dawson. King, Kaboul, Bale; Thuddlestone, Boateng/zakora, lennon/Tarrabt; Defoe/keane and berbatov. This makes most of bale and chimbonda, whilst takes pressure off midfield!
