Let me start by clarifying this is not my combined XI, but that of Joe.co.uk who asked two brothers with opposite allegiances in tonight’s London derby to decide who’d make a composite Tottenham and West Ham team.
Here is their video debating team selection, including an unusual dynamic of each making their case against their own manager to be the gaffer.
And here is how the final XI would line up. Four players from a relegation-threatened Hammers side West Ham seems like an olive branch passed between loving brothers, but I actually can’t argue with Fabianski, Cresswell, or Rice. I’d be having Dele or Sissoko over Lanzini though, but I am unconvinced about Moura or Vertonghen’s places, so I guess it evens out.
What are your thoughts on this combined XI?
