Yes he;s a very talented player. If he played I'd have every confidence he'd hold his own in the game. I wouldn't expect him to go on to be a first team regular, or have anymore involvement in the squad, except maybe against APOEL, but I think he'd be able to do his role well. Pick the ball up off defenders break up play and move it on. Feint turn out of trouble all of that, might make a mistake or error but what senior player doesn't

I'd be very interested to see a midfield two of Skipp and Winks with Skipp as DM and Winks further forward. Two good all-rounders who could chase the opposition, keep possession, and try to move the ball forward.
With Dier playing at the back, Sissoko limited technically, and Dembele limited physically I think it's worth a look.

Surely he won't start, believe me I'd love to see it, but seems more likely he'd just come on at some point?
That's what poch usually does, bed them in slowly. If he is starting poch has really put him on the fast track

No, no, don't. Stay. We'll leave....
I think they are very similar. Possibly Skipp is more an out and out DM a bit more edgy. Winks is more a rolls Royce,I used to think winks could play more advanced. But more convinced now he will end up a ball playing DM like xabi Alonso carrick Pirlo.could probably have a 3 with Skipp in middle winks eriksen either side but might be a bit lightweight. I think of all our 4 young CMs Onomah is the most attacking. Winks TOB Skipp are all quite similar.

Don't see him (Winks) that way at all to be honest. He's more poor mans Modric for me. Don't think he'll ever reach that level but that's how I see him.

I'm right with you. I doubt it will happen, but would love it to be true. Even if he was just on the bench. Likewise with TOB.

He seems to read the game well. Looks more of a defensive midfielder than Winks.

Was just early to announce a team given it's a 1pm KO.i don't post guesses
it's from uefa.
Well TOB and Georgiou arent listed but they havent been involved much in youth matches anyway due to involvement youth national teams and the first team squad. Does it mean they'll be involved? No as they havent beent involved in first team matched bar the odd bench appearance to make up the numbers. So unless we have to make up the numbers somewhere i doubt you'll see a youth player involved
