Team for West Brom...

[arunspurs]

I would rest Eriksen to Bench. He looked awfully tired in last 2 games.

My XI

Lloris
Dier,Sanchez,Jan
Trippier, Winks, Davies
Sissoko, Son,Dele
Kane

Dembele,Eriksen, Aurier,Rose play against Leicester.

Im wondering if one of our non standard youngsters might feature a bit more than usual in either game?

 

[yankspurs]

Lloris
Aurier Sanchez Vertonghen Rose
Dier Winks
Son Dele Eriksen
Kane

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

*Possibly Lamela for TOB or Edwards

Lamela for TOB.

Whilst I'd normally agree unfortunately he's the kind of player we need to break West Brom down.

We could try a more direct game against these teams also Rose and Aurier are better when we place the park the bus formations as their pace gets them in behind

No pulis, no chadli, surely no 1-1 this time?

okay my bad

Well...do you agree in hindsight ?

So so depressing drawing with them, how can we consider ourselves title contenders if we can’t beat them.

And we have the players as well it’s not like we’re a poor team, far from it.

No

No

Well yesterday Eriksen was our worst attacking player, constantly getting pickpocketed, looked so obviously leggy. He needs some rest IMO.

The reason I don't agree is because you wouldn't have seen any improvement if he wasn't playing, who would you have played instead?

Sorry, this is a ridiculous thing to say. It was clearly apparent that Eriksen was leggy, tired & 'looked' unfit. If the problem is so obvious, anyone Dembele or even Sissoko would have been better choice to start ahead of him. This is WBA not Real Madrid or Barcelona.

My view on his tiredness is more strengthened by what we saw on Saturday.

This is the problem with arguing in hindsight, whilst it doesn't prove you wrong, it doesn't mean your preferred scenario would have made it any more true.

To say that Sissoko who's first touch in tight spaces is poor and Dembele who doesn't move the ball quick enough would have made some sort of difference on Saturday is nonsense.
