This needs to be a game for Dele Alli to reassert himself! The 23-year-old was the first Tottenham player to noticeably improve under the Mourinho Effect, but performances have been less impressive of late.
Alli has scored five Premier League goals against Watford in eight appearances for Spurs, in fact, he’s not scored more freely against any other side in the division, so no better man.
One has to bear in mind with these José selections, everything twists a few degrees to the right, meaning that Japhet move up, Sanchez, Dier and Toby to the right and so forth.
This makes Sessy is effectively the right wing back. Alternatively the slowly decaying Vertonghen gets run out again, which against a fast a furious Watford side, I’m not entirely sure about.
Watford had a dismal start to the season, but their fortunes have significantly improved under new manager Nigel Pearson, and Watford are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games, having only dropped one point, and that was away to the challenging Sheffield United.
So no respite for Mourinho this afternoon at Vicarage Cottage against a Watford side have won 13 points under Pearson. Only Liverpool (15) and Manchester City (15) have won more points since his first game in charge.
The bookies have Watford @9/4, Tottenham are @6/5 and the siren song of the draw is @12/5.
BBTS Tottenham win is my punt @16/5.
Definitely not the game to start Troy, he’d get mangled by the Watford bruisers. I think we’re in for a tough afternoon, they have pace, physicality and aggression, ouch.🤕👌
*Fair point
Fair but as we need a focal point to hold up the ball and bring others into play Parrrot is likely to fulfil this requirement plus score goals!

Dire in defence instead of midfield from now on. He can move up into midfield when the team is on the attack. Yea give the Irishman 20 mins up front. No time like the present.
I know he is young, but the lad needs to get chances. Kane being out with no other options in the role screams give him a chance.
For want of repetition whilst I sound like a Parrott for hecs sake play the Parrott!!
Facing the unenviable prospect of 3 successive PL defeats, against feisty opposition the lads need to step up to the mark to stop the rot!
Happy days.
He’s got a lovely barge. Did a bit a work on it for him. Not cheap to park up 😁 on the lea. Nice Cruzing on waters with him. He’s got a lovely little jack rus. Little fk’r😁. Anyway. COYS
