So as some of you'll know I've been of the Levy & ENIC Out stance for best part of a decade now and for a long time it's seemed that we're in a minority.
Often being pointed towards the climb in league position, wealth, profit margins etc.
We have a shiny new state of the art stadium and world class facilities I'm told what more can a fan want?
Well although I seem to be a dying breed of sports fan I always grew up to think you played professional sport to win, and the merit of your achievements is the Medals/Trophies that go with being the best. (Call me old fashioned I know)

I really want to see a 4-3-3- for this one. My reasoning:
If playing with one up front then that one needs to be a specialist striker. None available at Spurs so all formations with one up front are out.
If playing with two up front then one needs to be a specialist striker else it risks being two people running in the same spaces and in each others way. No striker available at Spurs so....
That leaves three up front. If the opposition likes to have three central midfielders or have better two central midfielders then Spurs needs to have three central midfielders -> four left and those...

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Tottenham's away form has been dreadful, with just three away league victories since their last visit to Turf Moor over a year ago.
The lack of forwards also remains a concern. Tottenham have lost seven of their past eight games without either Kane or Son in the team.

A team without a recognised senior striker against one of the best defences in the league so far during 2020.......

Some quotes:
**
TEAM NEWS
Tottenham are still without Harry Kane (hamstring), Son Heung-min (shoulder) and Moussa Sissoko (knee). Hugo Lloris (groin) misses out again, so Paulo Gazzaniga will deputise in goal.
Erik Lamela and Ryan Sessegnon are back in contention to play.
Norwich have doubts over striker Teemu Pukki and midfielder Alex Tettey with both suffering from illness.
But manager Farke is expected to freshen up his team as he did in the previous rounds at Preston and Burnley.

Might this be the interesting part?
"Despite winning three of their last four in the league, Spurs' striker crisis leaves them vulnerable. Wolves' defence has been impenetrable recently anyway while up front the goals have been flowing again.
The day starts with Tottenham higher in the table but it might not end that way."
A 4-3-3 formation with Alli in the Firmino-role?
