Just a matter of time - fully expect him to be omitted from CL squad

Do you *honestly* believe that Lamela, who has played in almost every game since he’s been fit, will be omitted from the CL squad, in favour of a 19 year old defender who rarely plays?

I don’t rate Sissoko, but I’m pretty damn sure I’ll see him playing at Anfield on Sunday.

Think, Francis. Think.

Lay off the crack pipe, mate. Not good for your brain cells.

Too late

He’ll be a valuable option to play centrally if Eriksen is unavailable as well.

Gives us some nice options with addition of Moura as well.

I would absolutely love to play our first team against Newport and smash them for 10, given their scout's "leaked" report.

I assume a few of the players who took the brunt of the negativity will be rested but Lamela is surely a shoe-in to start and prove a point on the field.

Would like to see him in a central role against Newport with perhaps Moura in there too if ready.

#thfc Lamela & Moura in the Champions League squad, Foyth and GKN out.

as if Lamela was ever going to be left out.

Shame for Foyth but I Guess even if a injury crisis happened you'd rather Dier or Davies fill in

It's a no brainer really. We've actually been playing better with 4 at the back anyway so now Toby is back it could be 4 CB's for 2 positions. With only 7 games max to play (and let's face it, quite a good chance it will only be 2).

What a surprise, Francis was wrong again! You seriously need to get a life.

I'm more concerned that someone's actually agreed with his post. At least with Francis you know what you're getting.

Francis received that rating 2.5 hours after the Champions League squad was announced

Let's assume you meant next season.

I'm sure it was a simple mistake...

...Eriksen is the poor man's Winks...

Winks is better than Eriksen.

...Sissoko is better than Lamela...
...an off-form, mentally disengaged, amputated at both knees Eriksen is better than Lamela...

Eriksen - missing essential body parts for being a professional footballer - is better than Lamela.

Sissoko is also better than Lamela.

...that's funny - even a disinterested Sissoko is 10x the player Lamela will ever be...

Sissoko is now ten times better than Lamela.

...many of those who unjustly wrote off Sissoko are already anointing Winks as the next Modric...

...please Poch start Sissoko and not Winks...I want to score, not endlessly recycle possession...

...Winks on - Poch is throwing in the towel...

...the mindless support for Winks on here because he apparently reflects the short/slow average supporter is comical...he's a tidy player, but it's not like he's the 2nd coming of Modric, or even Scotty Parker...

Parker is better than Winks.

...aren't there any other Premier League teams you could support if your subconscious racism makes you prefer short, slow white guys?

Winks is short and his skin colour is white. But he's better than Eriksen. Yet playing Winks equals conceding defeat.

...Janssen and Winks starting reminds me of a WWII movie I saw once:

"Fat Man and Little Boy"

Janssen is fat. Winks is a little boy.
