After seven games in the Premier League this season, Andre Villas-Boas has had a mixed bag. But here is what I consider his strongest 11. What do you think?
Hugo Lloris – GK
The Frenchman sits on the edge of his box and waits to pounce on any stray balls and is a brilliant shot-stopper. By far the club’s number 1.
Kyle Walker – RB
The England international is a rapid, strong full-back who loves to get forward, but is questionable in his positioning, Still first choice.
Jan Vertonghen – CB
The Belgian has established himself as number one choice at White Hart Lane with some brilliant performances.
Michael Dawson – CB
A bit shaky, Dawson has found himself in the side because of injury to Younes Kaboul and Chiriches.
Danny Rose – LB
With Benoit Assou-Ekotto on loan at Queens Park Rangers it has left Rose to occupy the left-back berth.
Sandro – CM
The Brazilian has displayed just how capable he really is over the last year and if it wasn’t for injury he would have excelled even further.
Etienne Capoue – CM
The Frenchman is currently sidelined, but proved to be a brilliant acquisition before he was injured in the north Lond derby.
Paulinho – CM
The Brazilian is energetic, determined and can both tackle and play through balls.
Andros Townsend – RM
Townsend has sparkled on the wings for Spurs and England and is one of the most promising youngsters in Europe.
Christian Eriksen – LM
Although he’s at his best in the central positions, the Denmark international is capable of playing in the wider areas.
Roberto Soldado – ST
The Spaniard has a natural ability in front of goal – the composure, the awareness and the finishing attributes of a top, top striker.
