Time to change formation.

The lack of any width at Spurs is currently worrying and that lack of width through the midfield is one of the reasons for the lack of goals this season. With Malbranque out for 2 months and Lennon for 6 weeks this is going to be an ongoing problem and it needs addressing now so when our creative players do return we are at the right end of the table.

With the current personnel available we are just too narrow. Jenas spent far too much time drifting into the middle against Fulham and Tainio has been stuck out on the wing while that useless piece of crap Murphy took his proper place in the middle on Sunday. This leaves any attacking width to the full backs who can be pushed back by opposition wingers and are not always covered when they do go forward.

I think Jol needs consider a wing back system until the more creative players return. I am no fan of wing backs but it suits the players we currently have. Huddlestone could be drafted into the team to slot into a back three with King and Dawson. This leaves Chimbonda and Benoit to push on up the wings. A midfield three of Jenas, Zokora and Tainio are all able to play in their preferred postion. They can support full backs on either side, attack from the middle and drop into space if the full backs loose possession. It would make us more solid at the back and allow us to support whoever is playing up front.

Another idea is to put Keane on the left in a 4-4-2. Keane will drift and go deep for sure but it will still allow creativity in the middle of the park and leave two strikers forward instead of an isolated one.

Oh, and one more thing - Stop rotating Defoe and Keane - pick one and stick with him so whoever it is gains some sort of rhythm to his game!

COYS!
