#THFC subs: Vorm, Rose, Walker, Mason, Paulinho, Townsend, Kane #COYS

Audition for Chiriches. Lamela back in Italy-hope that he plays like he did when he was there full time. Andros starts in the Final for sure. Hope Chadli has shaken off the blues.

Happy with that....

...although, no CB on the bench?!

Stambouli probably switches back if necessary

I'm wondering this evening whether rather than DJ'ing I can just make a playlist and stream the footy without anyone realising

I prefer traditional English teas myself.

 

[thinktank]

Probably means Vorm will play against Chelsea

Not sure about that.

Poch might have hedged with the outfielders but will keep Lloris in for both games for a level of 'insurance'.

Anyway, off out. COYS!

I doubt it...

I guess if either of the CBs go off we can bring on Walker and move Chiriches.

 

[garryparkerschest]

'Malted'! I wouldn't feed those to the dog!. And those ones that say 'nice' on them. Do me a favour!

To be fair I love the malted biscuits not in the same league as a bourbon biscuit but you really should show them a bit of respect.

No Dier-hope that is not a fitness issue.

 

[prawnsandwich]

Gone for what would be my first choice CAMs.

Is that Townsend and Dembele being dropped after awful performances against WHU? Or are they being saved for Wembley?(I'd be surprised).

Edit: just realised Moussa isnt even on the bench....

I'd assume Mason and Kane are being kept fresh for the final, along with Walker and Rose.

Will be interesting to see who is subbed of with Sunday in mind in regards Lamela, Bentaleb, Chadli and Eriksen.

Good to see Stambo in there, but a shame that Vertonghen is that important that he doesnt get a rest!

Townsend was not awful against WHU. Andros will start the Final 100%.

Yes, sorry, I hadn't noticed Vlad at RB. That makes sense although this:

Stambouli probably switches back if necessary

sounds a bit more entertaining in a kamikaze sort of way.

Well, 10 of the XI ain't bad. Only got 2 wrong on the subs too...

Lloris
Chiriches Fazio Vertonghen Davies
Stambouli Dembele
Lamela Eriksen Chadli
Soldado

Vorm, Dier, Rose, Mason, Bentaleb, Townsend, Kane

Probably means Vorm will play against Chelsea

Uhhhh, no it doesn't. Lloris is the GK for the PL and Europa, both competitions can get us into the CL. We wont be playing Vorm in the Europa unless we are essentially already through to the next round. We are in a final vs Chelsea. Lloris will play.

Not too much attacking creativity in central midfield and definitely less of an attacking threat from the fulbacks (though Davies is good on the ball), a lot of pressure on the 3 amigos behind Bobby tonight.

 

[mpickard2087]

Dier was definitely out there with the squad. Could have picked up a knock though. Although so was Dembele and no sign of him either.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

No Dembele or Dier in the squad.

Hoping these aren't fitness issues, as both certainly have important roles to play with games coming thick and fast.

 

[NickHSpurs]

I fear this is going to extra time!

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Good team. We've got this.

 

[yankspurs]

Townsend was not awful against WHU. Andros will start the Final 100%.

Starting Townsend in the final would be suicide. We're going to need to be creative and also need to press.

Stam actually played a load of games at CB for his French club.

 

[dirtyh]

unnaturally confident. doubtless means we're going to get dicked but hey-ho. team is nice and strong with options available, me likey.

What about a malted milk chocolate? those things are amazing.
