...Sissoko is better than Lamela...
...an off-form, mentally disengaged, amputated at both knees Eriksen is better than Lamela...

Based on his last performance against Leverkusen, assuming it was actually him and not someone else playing him in the first episode of a new series of 'Faking it,' im assuming you mean 'better than Lamela' at giving the ball away (31 times IIRC)?

I hope we go 3-5-2

My XI

Lloris
Dier, Wimmer, Vertonghen
Trippier,Wanyama,Winks,Alli,Rose
Kane, Janssen

We could bench Dembele,Eriksen & Son and play 3-5-2.

I still feel Kane-Janssen could work. Eriksen failed in the no10 role. I feel Alli behind Kane & Janssen could work instead.
I would keep the powder dry, keeping Son in the bench & bringing him on if needed. Winks & Alli could take over the creativity burden.

Agreed. That was one of the worst performances I've seen in a long time. Every time the ball went near Sissoko it bounced right off him. I hope that he improves, and I think he's better than he's shown so far, but based on that Leverkusen performance he's light-years behind Lamela in the pecking order.

Just curious on the consensus regarding Dembele with his track record for playing 2 games in a week? Do we risk or not?

I won't play him against Monaco. Feel Wanyama - Winks can handle CL game. Dembele has bigger fish to fry at bridge next week.

No wonder we've been crap in champs league, the fans don't give a damn about it. Rotate, rest players for sats, just don't want to go into Europa. Jeez

You reckon Poch logs onto SC and plays whatever team is most popular on here?

Yup. There are apparently some right experts on here that know a lot better than Poch. He'd do well to take their advice.

Feel your point is justified if not made a little bit bluntly.

The last time we were in the champs league it was all our fans talked about and the league played second fiddle. This time around there's hardly been any mention of it, virtually no threads and very few posts in a match thread discussing a game that holds so much importance to our hopes of qualifying.

The other games have been the same aswell. What's wrong with you people? Our aim every year is to qualify for the champions league and it's what our fans judge a manager on then when we do actually qualify it's as if people couldn't care less. Am I missing something?
