Playing Harry Kane at left back means we would have 100% no left back as he'd be playing centre forward

If anyone needed an incentive to get fit, surely Real Madrid at The Bernabeu would be it?

Thanks stand corrected on Alli.
In that case
Lloris
Aurier
Alderweireld
Sanchez
Vertonghen
Davies
Dier
Sissoko
Eriksen
Son
Kane.

Vertonghen was great at LB yesterday against a team that offered no attacking threat, but I really hope that we do not choose to destabilise the strongest part of our team (central defence) to plug a gap elsewhere.
We need Toby and Jan either side of Sanchez to give ourselves the best chance of keeping Ronaldo and co out.

Agreed. If Davies is unfit I'd put Aurier there, his left foot is decent and he has pace to make up for being on his wrong side. He'd also have Vertonghen as a safety net.

Not a game we need anything from. I would not risk Dembele but ease him back for Liverpool and Man Utd games. It might be a good game to play some who are not always starters. You never know a great defensive job plus a devastating counter attack or two and we could snatch something from the game but if we lose heavily it means little as long as we don't pick up injuries of cards
If Wanayma was fit I would play both Llorente and Kane up front to give Madrid something to think about at the back. I have never really rated Madrids defensive qualities they play most weeks against one attacker who is often isolated so easy to deal with

Would go for this if Dembele is fit and Davies isn't.
Because hes big, physical and has the power to get us up the pitch. Hes abit of a battering ram that offers something different and i dont think madrid will like it rough. In a game where we may be penned in he could provd useful.
If dembele is out along with alli then we dont have many options right?

Uh
He's clearly not the most gifted in the technical sense, but that doesn't mean he can't be an effective cog in a team set up to play a certain way for any given game, does it?
The way you say it, is like some revelation that hasn't crossed the mind of Pochettino yet lol

I don't get what you're saying in the last paragraph.
Other than run powerfully, I genuinely don't see what he brings to the team. Whatever happens on Tuesday we are going to need gifted players (quite obviously playing at the highest stage in club football) who can keep the ball, play with composure and in the case of Sisssoko or whoever plays in his stead, create or score goals. For me, he really isn't good enough for us even coming on at home to Bournemouth let alone away to Madrid.
