dread to think what our bench will look like tomorrow with all these injuries
Team v Barcelona
- Thread starter thinktank
- Start date
it's called having more players in the WC than any other team.
Poch has been talking about this since pre season and yet with every match day there is yelling from fans about not playing our best side/ formations etc.
It has been bloomin clear that he is just trying to manage the squad for the first part/half of this season to try and get some rest for players but the int. break didn't benefit us

With all these injuries coming at once, it’s so lucky that we added all that depth to the squad in the summer. FFS

Makes zero sense, but it'll happen.

Either:
Gaz, KWP, Davies, Sissoko, Wanyama, Llorente + one youngster
Or
Gaz, KWP, Davies, Sissoko, Son, Llorente + one youngster

Other than the three behind Kane in slightly different starting positions, this is the only thing that makes sense to me.

Is it inconceivable that Poch could pick a similar line up to that he used to good effect away at the Bernabeu last season? I.e. Llorente up top with Kane and 5 at the back?

sorry to pick on your comment but you made my earlier point for me - we already have a LOT of muscle injuries, Poch rotates full backs because of the wear and tear in the system. Danny was out for a year and had a v short pre-season. If he plays two games in 4 days and gets another long term injury we are in trouble.
Smart move from Poch.

Seems like Poch is done with Llorente.

Fair, I just think we are fucked if we're throwing Davies out against Messi.

given we were two up after the pen he won then sat back at the weekend I think he's got a good 75 mins in the tank for tomorrow night.
If we're done earlier then take him off, but if we're still in the hunt then I say milk him. Davies can play against his Welsh brothers at the weekend, more his level- of late. He really has been pony all season.

I'm not really worried about Barca on the counter. They have the quality but they never seem to do it very often and their backline is going to be shaky without Umtiti

Anyone of you not putting Dier in your starting 11 must not realise Poch is still our coach.. He’s starting. Certainly with this many injuries will he not be starting, don’t know if it’ll be defence or midfield, but he’s starting, get used to it.
Personally I’d like to see
Lloris
Toby Sanchez Dier
Trips Wanyama Winks Rose
Lamela Son
Kane
That’s still a good 11 there. Fingers crossed.

I have BT Sport but I can't see it on the channels. Is this a press red to watch different games?
Ignore me, I thought it was tonight
