I'm interested to see how we deal with the dilemma of playing Son, Kane, Moura. I know there's an argument that Moura and Son are both better centrally and we've seen times where they and Kane have tried taking up the same space. I'd look at the England formation where we have Sancho/Sterling and Kane plays a little deeper in his 9 role and feeds both of them a lot. Then we have the issue of where best to play Dele who seems to benefit from being right behind the striker.

Personally I'm open to

Sissoko Eriksen
Dele
Moura Kane Son

However leaves a lot of responsibility defensively on Moussas shoulders. I just don't want to leave Moura out at the start personally.
With kane, son and moura we can easily play 4-3-3 fluidly like liverpool. All 3 playing up top, backed by Eriksen, sissoko and Winks in midfield.

Really can't imagine Alli on the bench in a Cl final, be nice to have that kinda dilemma again

Trippier not even in the squad.... Paulo is gonna stab u in the kidney

I’ve watched his third goal at least once every waking hour since he scored it.


The pace for the first

The damn trickery and footwork for the second

Just endeavour and coolness for the third

So the guy is right footed and each goal was with his left ... Unreal

That leaves Dele out. It's a hard decision to make. Well it's far too early to make my mind up, injuries, fitness, illness and what have you.

I trust in MoPo, hopefully he'll get it right. He has always found a way in the CL, at least.

If Winks doesn’t play the full 90 tomorrow, can we realistically start him in the final? Put Sissoko central, with Dele alongside him, all our best players on the pitch.

Out of curiosity, have we ever played with that lineup? I imagine it would've been a 4-2-3-1 since we never play 4-3-3.

Well he has 3 weeks to recover and he's our only true passing midfielder. If he can prove his fitness I'd happily start him over Dele in midfield, who sometimes looks completely lost in that deep role.

Correct. We always play 4231, but with son and moura providing the speed, and both able to play off-centte, the 433 would be perfe t for the 3 of them to shine. As much as i despise liverpool, the 433 is really making them shine this season. We have the armoury to do so as well with kane, moura and son

Biggest game of the season and the last one too so you can be 100% sure Poch will risk him.

Lol @ Paulo!! Not a time for playing favourites, but playing who we believe are suited to get us over the line. Start countering with pace against Liverpool(Dele does slow it down imo) and bring both him and Lamela on as impact subs once Liverpool start to tire when we are 2-0 up. My tactics anyway, but probably just shite!
