Just caught the delayed full match.

Son, Lamela and Eriksen needs to be our AM3 at the moment. Period.

3 creators of each different strengths but all possibly suit of scoring.

And I thought Lamela and Eriksen are like our KDB and Silva. Keep them well-oiled, I fucking don't believe we can't chalk up our goals...

One of the finest qualities of Son is that he can come inside, he can go on the outside therefore he keeps the defenders guessing. Alli is a player who needs to run from deep or needs the ball going in the box, Eriksen doesn't quite have the pace and dribbling ability to change direction in this way, neither does Lamela, they are all a bit too predictable with their running. Which makes Son an extremely component in this team. Not saying any of the others aren't, it's just Son is very different in this aspect.
I feel Dele should revert back to playing CM if and when Winks/Dembele need time off. That's where he started his position and venture forward like Lampard with his keen eye for goal from deep. Playing him so advance will only impede Son who is playing ever so well so far. And also his tricks were too much and fell over without ref's protection. Dele and Eriksen rotating to be deeper receiving the balls and spraying forward and either one of them driving forward to attack as and when, could be the way.

I loved how Harry was running to take the throw ins and get the corners going quickly, even right at the end. He was so keen to get his hat trick

Poch won't be starting Lamela in front of Dele after playing less than forty five minutes of PL football in over a year ain't gonna happen.

Right. The game was stretched when Lamela came on. Too soon for him to be starting.

Perhaps not on Wednesday, but we have a hell of a lot of games coming up. I expect that Lamela will start one or two, just to get Son, Eriksen & Alli some rest.

Interesting games to be played tomorrow. Southampton can take Arsenal, Everton can take Liverpool and a draw would be good in the Man U/Man C game.
ARSEnal will win 2-0
Liverpool will win by 3 or more
Manchester could end in a draw but I fancy utd to scrape it. So I guess I see tomorrow a little differently. We will see, I hope your spot on.
