Michael Carrick has told Thomas Frank that he is blessed with different kinds of options he has in one area of the pitch at Tottenham.While Thomas Frank has stuck with the same back four in almost all of his games so far this season, the Dane has mixed and matched in midfield.He has used an experienced double pivot of Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha, as well as a youthful, exuberant one of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.The Dane has experimented with Pape Sarr as a number ten, while more recently, he has used Bergvall as the most advanced midfielder with plenty of success.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramMichael Carrick impressed by Tottenham’s midfield optionsAgainst Villarreal, it was Bentancur who partnered Sarr in the pivot, with Bergvall given the license to bomb forward while Xavi Simons occupied the half-space on the left.Michael Carrick is impressed with the depth Tottenham have in midfield and the way Frank has picked horses for courses so far.Following Tottenham’s win over Villarreal, the former Man United and Spurs midfielder told Amazon Prime (16/09/25): “Palhinha came on when they needed a bit of solidarity, and then there will be games where he starts.“It’s great, I said to Thomas before the game, it’s great to have the option to decide what game suits what players, and I think it shows the strength in depth they’ve got, so I think it’s a strong unit that midfield.”Tottenham have two more top-class players to returnTottenham’s midfield unit will look even stronger when James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski return to fitness, although neither player is expected back anytime soon.According to reports, Kulusevski will be back on the pitch in two to three months, while the England international is out for the long term, having picked up an ACL injury in the summer.We have seen Xavi Simons play on the left wing so far, but the new Tottenham signing has admitted that he prefers playing as a number ten.
