Team for West Brom...

JAYSTAR · Nov 22, 2017

For me, we need to plan for Leicester as well, who we play on Tuesday, so I would go with these teams:
Vs West Brom:

Lloris
Dier Sanchez Verts
Trippier Sissoko Dembele Davies
Eriksen
Kane Son

Vs Leicester:

Lloris
Dier Sanchez Verts
Aurier Winks Alli Rose
Eriksen
Kane Son

I prefer us with Sonny in the team, gives us the ability to counter attack at speed and get in behind defences.

WBA won't attack us though.

I don't want to see Dembele & Sissoko play together in the middle again

Lloris
Aurier Sanchez Vertonghen Rose
Dier Winks
Son Dele Eriksen

Vorm, Trippier, Davies, Dembele, TOB, Edwards, Llorente

*Possibly Lamela for TOB or Edwards

Only change I'd make is Winks for Dembele in the Brom game. We know they will come to Wembley and sit deep, can't see Dembele doing any lock-picking.

WBA: Lloris; Dier, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Trippier, Eriksen, Winks, Alli, Davies; Kane, Son

Leicester: Lloris; Dier, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Aurier, Sissoko, Winks, Dembele, Rose; Kane, Alli

Leicester will leave more room for Sissoko and Aurier to exploit, and they tend to play well together. Dembele will also need some minutes, and it may be time for Eriksen to take a breather.

That’s an incredibly high line we are playing there.

mark87 · Nov 23, 2017

Lloris

Foyth
Sanchez
Verts

Trip
Winks
Eriksen
Davies

Alli
Son

Kane

Subs: Vorm, Rose, Aurier, Dier, Sissoko, Dembele, Llorente.

I know Dier has been brilliant recently but he has also played alot of games too including internationals, so I'd stick him on the bench for this game and keep him for Leicester away.

Son is usually pretty useless against teams that park the bus.

ClonedFromSandrosBeard · Nov 23, 2017

My XI:
Llloris
Trippier Foyth Sanchez Vertonghen Davies
Eriksen Dier Winks
Dele Kane

West Brom mop up crosses so you need to play around them hence the more technical Dele and Kane . Winks and Eriksen can push up with a bit more liberty and hopefully keep everything ticking. I haven't seen Foyth play yet but I think a home game against a physical team is a good opportunity to see what he can do.

What I expect:
Lloris
Dier Sanchez Vertonghen
Trippier Winks Davies
Sissoko Eriksen Dele
Kane

Definitely more stable but I think it will be a more frustrating game, Sissoko tends to go missing in the lower pressure ties.
1-0 or 2-1 I reckon.

Think he deserves a run in the team, he has scored some important goals lately

Yeah true, but Son also makes clever runs in behind defences which complements Kane when he drops deep. We need more than just Ali breaking the lines.

hellava_tough · Nov 24, 2017

Just a thought, but I wonder if we could ever use Llorente against the 'bus-parking' teams?

Play direct to a big-man, with Kane and Alli in behind him, Eriksen and Winks in the centre.

I guess we probably won't need to play this sort of route one football, but it's an option.

Just spit-balling...

I thought that was one of the reasons we bought him.

talkshowhost86 · Nov 24, 2017

I think the big question is can we beat West Brom without Kane?

He's said himself that he rushed back for Arsenal, and I don't think he's looked fully fit since coming back from injury (despite being pretty impressive).

This really should be the sort of game where we can afford to give him a rest, particularly with midweek games either side of it, however I think that confidence in Llorente is understandably low, and I don't know if Son can really lead the line in a game where the opposition will sit back.

Play Rose again more chance of him getting to dead ball line and crossing.
He needs game time for peak fitness.

Everlasting Seconds · Nov 24, 2017

Lloris
Dier, Sanchez, Vertonghen
Aurier, Dele, Eriksen, Davies
Llorente, Son
Kane
