The Tottenham fans in the Transfer Tavern are eager for a title challenge during their short-term stint at Wembley…
They’ve come so close in the last few years, but it’s time for the Lilywhites to make the step up.
They need to add more consistency to their game, though. In recent years, a poor few weeks have often cost them their season, and Pochettino can’t afford for that to happen again.
He needs to ensure that his side remains consistent all season long, starting with a win against Everton this weekend.
Ronald Koeman’s side are a strong outfit, though, and so it won’t be easy. Pochettino needs to pick a strong side against the Toffees in an effort to bag a big win.
With that said, if Pochettino picks this Tottenham XI, they will surely overcome Everton this weekend
GK – Hugo Lloris
The captain of this side, and the leader at the back.
He’ll be tasked with dealing with the impressive Everton attack.
RB – Kieran Trippier/Serge Aurier
In an ideal world, Kieran Trippier will be fit to play the 90 minutes for the Lilywhites.
That said, he hasn’t been available lately through injury, and so he may not be up to the challenge. In that case, Serge Aurier could come in for an impromptu debut.
Either way, the right-hand side will be very solid indeed.
CB – Jan Vertonghen
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); One-half of an unstoppable Belgian defence.
Vertonghen has been solid so far this season.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); CB – Toby Alderweireld
Contract saga aside, Alderweireld has been a fantastic servant for the Lilywhites.
He is arguably their most consistent performer.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); LB – Ben Davies
With Danny Rose still not fit, the Welshman will be expected to control the left-hand side.
He has grown into this role.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); CM – Eric Dier
Victor Wanyama has looked poor at points this term, so Eric Dier may well provide a more solid option.
A goal for his country earlier this week will have been a boost.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); CM – Mousa Dembele
The creative outlet in this midfield.
He is impossible to dispossess.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); LW – Christian Eriksen
Eriksen is able to create something out of nothing.
Kane likely loves having him in the team.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); CAM – Dele Alli
Dele Alli has been the star of the show this season.
You wouldn’t put the prospect of another goal past him.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); RW – Son Heung-min
Son Heung-min is increasingly influential in this team.
A real force down the flanks.
(function(){var ids=["snack_dex5","snack_dex6"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-d:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); (function(){var ids=["snack_mex4","snack_mex5","snack_mex6","snack_mex7"];var els=document.querySelectorAll("div.snack-rpt-m:not([id])");for(var i=0;i<els.length&&i<ids.length;i++){els[i].id=ids[i];}})(); ST – Harry Kane
Harry Kane is far more lethal for club than he is for his country.
Nonetheless, a lethal option in the attack.
