Awful call and it will be my first falling out with poch.

Nothing's certain. Even if walker does play there will be plenty of chances for Trippier to impress.

Tbh, I'm assumed walker was going to miss a bit of pre season (if not all of it) so I'm just glad he's back and looking fit.

You didn't watch the game at Old Trafford last season then?

That was our most gutless performance of last season (and there's a few contenders)

Bentaleb and Mason, who both had very good seasons, were pretty bad in that one, for example.

In fact, I'm counting on those 2 (Mason probably won't make it) to be bang up for this one. Bentaleb strikes me as the kinda guy who'd be pissed off with his performance in that one and will use it as motivation going into Saturday.

Lamela...Eriksen...Chadli

Bentaleb...Alli

Rose...Verts...Toby...Trippier

LLoris


Subs:
Vorm
Davies, Walker
Dier
Mason, Dembele
Soldado

We sold all these players yet it's still difficult to name a match-day squad without leaving some people at home who you would want at least on the bench: Andros, Yedlin, Carroll, Pritch when fit, Wimmer, Fazio, Winks, Onomah, Oduwa, Veljkovic, - also Fredericks, Walker-Peters...

As I'd go with Trippier this week, I'd probably even drop Walker out from the bench because Yedlin can do RB or RW while the bench is so tight for places. While the same thing goes for Trippier when walker plays. The same way we will probably see Davies not making the bench when Rose plays as Verts can fill in.

Tough calls!

Think the following (at least) need a high-profile loan for regular competitive games: Winks, Oduwa and Veljkovic, Fredericks.

All the hate on Walker i dont get it. Was probably our best player against Real Madrid with Alli.
He also said in an i-view that this season was the biggest of his career.
Hopefully he will bounce back and prove all of you wrong. :)

Dembele Bentaleb

Lamela Eriksen Chadli

I'd be surprised if we see anything other than this.

I'd also be surprised if that team gets anything other than a bit of a spanking. But we shall see, and even if we do get tonked I suppose there's the hope that we'll have some new signings come September.
I'd be stunned if Lamela starts given he played in both games, badly by all accounts.

Think we have changed our system from 4-2-3-1 to a more 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 when defending.

---------Kane---------
--Chadli-------Eriksen

Ali-----Bentaleb---Dembele

Rose--Verts-Toby--Trippier

------Lloris(if ready)-----

No, it's still 4231. The front 4 were just rotating properly like they should and mucking in defensively like they should today.

We'll see more proper rotation through positions now as poch's system is soaking in properly.

The flexibility of 4231 gives you the ability to modulate through different shapes in-game. 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 should always be the defensive shape but that hasn't happened as our wing forwards haven't tracked back properly. That will have to change this season.

We need another Hoddle said:
What is there to add,apart from he deosn't score,his passing is average,he can't tackle and he can't beat a player,often just running into an opposition player
Maybe you should post in the Lamela thread then?
This being the team to face United thread.
