Fair enough.
A lot of the team
Predictions you make are so left field that they never happen to make you proved right or wrong.
Just out of curiosity what predictions/judgements have you got right?

e,g, Poch, And got battered for saying he'd be the perfect choice above De Boer, in particular.

e.g. got laughed out of town when I pushed for winks to be a starter in midfield, early doors.

Just as I am for pushing Foyth to be utilised.

Hence, it has no affect on me.

If I'm right, I'm right; if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I will express my ideas and opinions and have no fear doing so.

People sometimes find outside-of-the-box thinking and ideas that are non-linear, or not one dimensional, hard to digest.

It's normal.

I’m not sure being pro pochettino and winks counts as thinking out of the box to be honest but a good call on poch nevertheless.

Would be interesting to see if we could fit 'everyone' in like this. I kind of think I could see Poch doing this before dropping Alli to the bench.

If Alli can become more assured on the ball and looks after it a bit more, he can become a more attacking version of Dembele which would be incredible. Id pair him and Dier in the middle and son, Lamela, Eriksen behind Kane. There's a case for Trippier/Davies to start as the Burnley full backs with presumably be less adventurous than Southampton's

Life and particularly football is all about opinion.

pressure will be on for this. Best case we are 5 pts off 4th worst case 7 pts. Basically it’s a must win:eek:

I like the idea of that but maybe for the Southampton game at home.

I've a feeling he might go back to a back 3.

That's what you call thinking outside of the box...

That’s a big IF. No way we would I trust him in a midfield two with the way he gives up possession so easily and I don’t think Poch will either.

If you give Alli the ball control of Paul Pogba you'd have the best midfielder in the world without a doubt.

When Dele's all round game is on point the whole team plays better, but it's a very rare sight unfortunately. There's only been a couple of league games this season when he's really shown that and they were Liverpool and Stoke at Wembley.

Unless we’re somehow playing in a 3-4-2-1-1, playing in the back 3 is a big mistake. Burnley has one of the best defenses in the league and their tactics make Mourinho look positively progressive. We’ll need the extra attacker on the pitch.
