It’s funny this perception we are in some kind of crisis as we’ve just taken 4 from 6 pts in PL and topped the hardest CL group. Just because Arsenal have gone above us feels like we’ve lost 3 on the bounce or something.
Still this is a very odd season that can spun as we have same points as last season.Topped our CL group beat Real Madrid etc. Or we are 5th out the carabo cup and realistically just have FA Cup to play for.
Saying all that we really need the win. Same team for me swapping full backs maybe dembele for winks. Leicester seem to be passing much more in midfield. I think they will try to go toe to toe with us which imo will mean we out play them.

Agree with a lot of this. But it's 4 points from 9, I'm pretty sure.

I know, I know, but I think KWP is a right tenacious little busy fucker who could do a really good Kante impression in that CM3, cover the two 8's, win it and give it simple to Winks and Dembele. Better than watching Sissoko or Alli fuck about in there.

Eriksen and Alli need a rest.

Too hopefull with lamela just back but we need Width. It's too easy for teams to park the bus against trying to play through the middle as Saturday shower us.

Eriksen needs to either be rested or play out the dip in form I cant decide?? If he is to be rested replace him with dembele and drop dier in place.

If lamela is still not ready then Edwards for pace, Width and trickery

Not sure when Lamela ever provided width tbh but yes he’s not likely to start

The only changes from Saturday imo will be full backs. Dembele for winks if not fit and possibly sissoko for Son.

Something tells me that Lamela isn't going to go from playing an hour for the U23s after a year out to starting in the Premier League.

What about that team worries more than what we have seen in our last three or four league games ? Sissoko in CM ? Alli playing like a fart in a trance ? Even Eriksen's caught it.

There's only one player in there who's not got plenty of first team credentials, and could he be any worse in midfield than what we've seen lately ?
