Might as well
It's actually not that bad an idea - I'd be worried about Hazard facing him - so realistically I can only see Verts playing there - perhaps even Dier.

Yeah, I accepted the first 'doh' and moved on...couldn't be bothered to change/delete post.5th yellow against west ham
Who's our best youth left back?
I'd actually stick them in for this game thinking about it and have Vertonghen back in the middle with Dier.
No point weakening two positions.
And was toilet + crap at LB for Austria.Wimmer has to play LB. He has played LB for Austria and we need Vertonghen central
Lloris
Walker Dier Vertonghen Wimmer
Winks Wanyama
Dembele Dele Son
Kane
Like this a lot and pretty certain poch will go with this formationOn reflection, a 5311 with a view to containing and countering might be the one. And while Dembele is no left back, he is our one remaining left footer who can tackle, carry the ball and track a runner.

I don't really see how he can be. We've still been generally sound defensively this season (last night not included) and he's hardly inhibiting our attacking play as Dier rarely contributed to that anyway.
For me he offers more than Dier in that role, so it doesn't make sense that he'd be the problem.
The bigger issue has been going forwards, and that seems to more be the collapse in form of Alli and Eriksen, the inconsistency of Son and Dembele and the absence of Lamela, not to mention Kane being out and Janssen being off the pace so far.
I think if Wanyama played in the middle with Winks or Eriksen then that would work. Wanyama would do the dirty work and the other player would get the ball moving forwards (something which Dembele isn't great at at the best of times).
I have decided we should park the bus and hope for a lucky break
