Gazza, Tripps, Davies, Winks, Skipp, Lamela, Llorente
That's a strange rule.Feel like a but of rotation is neccesary to keep us fresh after this period
Lamela, lucas, skipp, rose to start..
Would be tempted to put Foyth in as 2 games quick from injury from davidson is a bit much. However if skipp starts then Foyth can't.
That's a strange rule.
He was great left of the diamond today (still not a big fan of that shape, though, tbh).I noticed you put Eriksen deeper on this occasion where previously lucas and him were in opposite. Are you thinking how great eriksen has now developed in this deeper role? I think he's far improved in the last few games both positional ly, defensively and his passing range. I didn't think he would ever make that spot his but I'm loving this new eriksen deeper, also he's more involved. I really like him there now where previously I didn't so much.

Just riding the vibe - stick him that side and let him feed off the form he showed today.
If he'd have had a stinker I would probably have put Moura there and pushed him up.
Saying that, they both could interchange quite easily in-game.
Moura is on par with Lamela for tenaciousness and he's a sly motherfucker at nicking the ball. Great engine and never stops working and can turn defense into attack in a flash.
He loves driving from deep, taking on players directly and causing havoc.
I much prefer it when he drops deep mucks in and helps graft our attacks. I think that's when he's most effective.
You're right that Eriksen's showing much more assuredness when he drops to pull the strings and he now properly understands the defensive side of the job and is much more positionally aware.
Start strong, sub off Sissoko etc later to rest players:
LlorisBench: Gazzaniga, Trippier, Davies, Foyth, Skipp, Lamela, Llorente
Aurier Sanchez Toby Rose
Winks
Sissoko Eriksen
Moura Kane Son
Actually, for the first time in... well, ever, I think Foyth at DM is not completely zany. Winks or Skipp still make more sense to me but, given our injuries (especially Dier), Foyth is probably better at playing the 'Dier-role' slotting into a back 3 when the FBs go high, than either of them. Arguably also he is more first team ready than at least Skipp.

I understand that this is Thinktank's wish list line up. But if you're going to include some pretty left-field choices, it would be good to explain them. That can start an interesting discussion. Otherwise it comes across as being controversial for the sake of it.
