Team v Arsenal - North London Derby

[carpediem991]

Next week very big match for our club. Can we hold on to the Top 4 and finally beat Arse again? Hopefully. Will be there and can't wait.

---Walker---------Fazio--------------Vertonghen------Rose-
--------------------Stambouli---------Mason--------------------
---Lamela-------------------Eriksen----------------Chadli--
--------------------------------Kane-------------------------------

subs: Vorm, Dier, Davies, Paulinho, Townsend, Dembele, Soldado

There is no need to make lots of changes I just would replace Paul with Stambouli who is more solid defensively, so Mason can make more runs into the box.
Dembele as no. 10 is developping quite well at the moment, but for this I want to have Eriksen at no. 10 and Chadli starting as they are more deadly on the counter and quick passing. But wouldn't be sad to see Mousa.

If Algeria loses tomorrow against Cote d'Ivoire Bentaleb at least gets Pauls place on the bench.

Posted in the match thread, but I would try Chadli on the right for this one, due to the goal threat and balls into the box:

Lloris
Walker Fazio Verts Rose
Stambouli Mason
Chadli Dembele Eriksen
Kane
​

Subs: Vorm Dier Davies Townsend Lamela Soldado Paulinho

 

[Mr Pink]

I wanted Fazio today, but he could he struggle with their sharp and energetic attack. Offers more experience than Dier and would handle Giroud's threat in the air. Dier could handle their movement a bit better, possibly. Coin toss for me.

Dembele in the ten role please, all day long. Don't change a balance that has clearly seen an upturn in performance. We look a more powerful side with Dembele in the ten role, and Arsenal can struggle against a bit of power.

Lloris

Walker
Dier
Vertonghen
Rose

Mason
Stambouli

Lamela
Dembele
Eriksen

Kane

Subs; Vorm, Dier, Davies, Paulinho, Chadli, Townsend, Soldado

The AMs need to be dembele, eriksen and chadli/townsend. There is no justification at all (on form) for lamela making the starting eleven. Being a bed-wetting lamela apologist virgin is not justification.

Dier in for Fazio and that would work for me. Don't like the idea of the slow behemoth trying to mark guys like Sanchez/Cazorla/Walcott. Dier is no perfect fit either though of course.

 

[JollyHappy]

I'd pick Townsend over Lamela and then give the Scum some pace to worry about.

 

[mpickard2087]

Dier at centre back, for sure.

 

[chinaman]

We have to believe we can do it, otherwise what's the point. And Poch must drill into the team everyday for the next week that they need to play the whole game positively even if they were a couple of goals up. Arsenal is unlike West Brom and if given a chance, they'll make every use of it.

 

[stewartd]

Just hope Kane is fit. Ankle very heavily strapped after game and limping.
Think we are screwed without him.

Walker
Fazio

Rose

Mason/Bentaleb (if back)
Stambo

Eriksen
Dembele
Lamela

Kane

Basically, two of Dembele, Chadli and Lamela is the only difficult decision for me.

You're chattin' proper shit, bruv.

 

[St José Dominguez]

I'm actually struggling to pick a side which is a good sign. Think I'd go with this:

Lloris

Walker Fazio Vertonghen Rose

Stambouli Mason

Chadli Dembele Eriksen

Kane

Subs: Vorm, Dier, Davies, Paulinho, Lamela, Townsend, Soldado

 

[npearl4spurs]

Lloris
Walker Fazio Vertonghen Rose
Dembele Mason
Townsend Eriksen Chadli
Kane
​

Lamela on for Townsend, Stambouli on for Mason/Dembele, Bentaleb on for the other if available. If not, maybe Soldado in a pinch.

That's the team I'd go for as well

That will be the team.
Stam/ Demb the only maybe.

 

[King of Otters]

Can't wait to see Harry have a run at Mertesacker. He's going to be well up for it.

 

[fortworthspur]

of the starting 11 today, Lamela looks the most off-form ATM. Agree with Chadli for Lamela. The central 3 - take your pick. Everyone has their favorites but if you look through the CM stats for the season its a mixed bag. Dembele seems to be hot now so use him. And Dier for Fazio.
