This is what worries me a little about Poch talk. THAT team didn’t win anything.
No comparison to what we have today.

Xavi – Solanke – Kudus
Grey – Maddison – Bergvall
Udogie – VDV – Danso – Spence
Vicario
I think that would be our best players now in this position and they would get destroyed.

It was Eriksen right, son left. Come on who makes these

Dembele is still criminally underrated and under appreciated.
Absolute beast of a player

The team was technically skilled and extremely athletic, so they could both press and keep possession effectively.
Our current squad is technically poor in key areas, and the result of the league has advanced enough that simply running a press isn’t going to catch them off guard. Trying to run it back from 2016 needs to be able squad building first and foremost. A Poch retread has the potential to entirely miss the point.

Class team that

Love this team and this era! Fantastic.
One note: There’s nearly always Eric Dier erasure when it comes to line ups from this time being posted. His ability on the field, his determination and drive, were all integral as part of what we achieved in peak Poch – and he continued to play his heart out after that too.

It’s why all the fangirls screaming for poch are in for a world of misery if he comes. the guy couldn’t win anything with this team.

I feel sick looking at it.
Better in absolutely every single position by absolutely miles.

If only we had depth

Who in our current squad starts over any of those players? And fuck Levy and the Lewis family, if we had invested in that squad instead of asset stripping it and letting it age out we could have achieved so much, instead here we are.
If they bring back Poch in the summer, I hope it is also a return for Paul Mitchel, ideally replacing Lange.

I’d take one Lamela too, and a Vertonghen clone out left.

We used to be a football club 😢

And didn’t we field that exact team like once? I think coz wanyama and dembele were constantly injured
mikeest2 on
I think this XI played like once. This era had a lot more Eric Dier than people remember, either in midfield or in a back 3

The best Spurs team of my lifetime. Sadly this will probably still be true when I die.

It isn’t often talked about enough but wanyama’s injury was our biggest setback during this era….We would have eventually won something, he just wasn’t the same when he came back.

Such heartbreak that this team never got a trophy to their names.

Did Dembele and Dele overlap?

What a team!

What a squad, if only they had depth. A decade later and they still don’t take transfer windows seriously

It’s incredible that there isn’t a single solitary position that we have an improvement on now.
