Is Lamela fit then as i'd be loathe to start Son?

That being said, I can see Poch going 352 here judging on who's available and how we looked to combat Liverpool last season - in which case, it might well mean a start for Winks in the middle.
He likely would have gone with 3 at the back anyway for this which would have made Lucas the odd man out. Dele out means Lucas starts in his place.

No way is Son starting this one surely. Guy has played about a bazillion games over the past few months and hasn't been training with the squad.

I'm hopeful Wink's cameo against Watford means he's fit and firing, could really do with him back in the team and we did great with him alone in the holding role many times last year, including in the game against Liverpool.

Dele out will be interesting as Poch is generally lothe to dropping him.

I'd like us to be adventurous and go with something like a 3-4-3 with Dier and Winks/Dembele holding and Moura & Eriksen behind Kane, but more likely it'll be a 4-2-3-1 with Lamela in for Dele. I fear that might leave us too open again in the midfield.

Want:

.....................Vorm
.........Toby - Sanchez - Jan
Trippier - Dier - Dembele - Rose
.............Moura - Eriksen
.....................Kane


Will get:

...................Vorm
Trippier - Toby - Jan - Rose
............Dier - Dembele
.....Moura - Eriksen - Lamela
....................Kane

In Sissoko starts: 8 wins, 3 losses, 4 ties. Don't ever fucking start him.

This is a tie.
In England we call them draws

Edit: looks like someone beat me to it

He's been in training since the start of the break. Should be fully fitted by now.

Why would you call that a draw? It looks like a tie.

My daughter once drew a tie. Maybe thats what you are thinking about.


Yeah your right Im thinking about the tie your daughter once drew.
Silly me. Can you get your daughter to draw a chest of drawers so I understand

-----------------------Vorm-------------------------
----Trippier - Sanchez - Vertonghen - Rose
--------------Dier----------Dembele------------
----------------------Eriksen----------------------
---------Lamela-----Kane -----Moura--------

Defend aggressively with the pace and tenacity of Sanchez and Rose. Dominate midfield with Eriksen sitting in centrally. Press hard with an opportunity for Lamela to show his worth. Winks, Son, Alderweireld available on the bench as needed.
