For years I’ve heard that we lack pace which is what we desperately need to break down teams that sit deep. Now we play it, it’s the wrong thing to do apparently.
I’m confused

I'm all for patience but it's a little weird looking at that line up against the bottom of the league. Omitting Lamela is also baffling considering Eriksen and Dele are out.
COYS of course though. But if we struggle today I won't have any smpyathy for Poch looking at that set up.
If we hammer them I'll acknowledge it lol

Can't help feel this will rest on the last 17 mins when Lamela comes on for Sanchez.
17 minutes? That’s a generous amount of time for subs with Poch. More like 10 minutes.

Probsbly have to drop Kane back to 10 to supply the 2 quick forwards.

Its what was reported last night.
Realistically it keeps him out through the international break. 2 league matches, plus Barça.

I think we need both, but when you rely on any one thing you become predictable. Pace matched with a playmaker then great, just pace or just a playmaker your one dimensional.For years I’ve heard that we lack pace which is what we desperately need to break down teams that sit deep.

The lack of Lamela is truly troubling. The lack of 4231 equally so. I really hope this doesn’t backfire because recently it has gone wrong every time our manager has ignored the obvious option.
Not sure about 3 at the back, but Huddersfield are bottom of the table with 2 points, only 3 goals scored and 14 conceded. We should be winning this no matter the formation. Would've liked to see KWP star if Aurier is definitely out for Barca match.
COYS!
COYS!
Winks played central is an improvement.

Gonna be a long couple hours ahead.
Only justification for benching Lamela is possibly resting him for barca, but still. FFS

Lamela issue is being overblown, imo.
yes, he should be starting. But, we do have to manage the squad through 3 matches over the next 7 days. And perhaps the physios don't think Lamela should be starting 3 matches in a week.
Lamela can (and probably will) provide a spark off the bench, where he has 2 goals and an assist already this season.

Yeah I don’t get it. Two wing backs bombing on, two lightening quick players on attack supporting kane. So negative.
