Yes- that's probably the team I'd put out with the exception of replacing Dele with Dembele in the starting lineup & putting Dembele on the subs bench instead of Sonny simultaneously on the field and on the bench! COYS!

Cant understand anyone who want dele in for dembele in midfield. Most over-rated player we have imo.

Think he was a passenger for 46 min in first half vs liverpool- before his goal. Upped his game 2 half.

But again vs west ham in midfield, just not his position.

No brainer for me. Dembele is on another level. Son and eriksen should start with Kane up front.

Lloris

Toby, sanchez, verts

Aurier, winks, dembele, davies

Eriksen, kane, son

Son is must in this game. He was exceptional against Liverpool and given Utd keep playing a back 4 with 2 attack minded converted wingers at full back they’re going to be leaving themselves exposed. Kane, Eriksen and Son against any of the two clowns they play at centre back is heavily weighted in our favour. Utd’s weakness as per Liverpool is their defence and we need to take advantage of this.

Dele has his best game of the season vs. Liverpool.
"Not good enough to start over an unfit Dembele".
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: :finger:


He was pretty poor v WHU though IMO. Butchered a couple of very good chances refusing to pass and was more interested in flicks, tricks and falling over than anything else. Is Dembele unfit? Looked OK when he came on.

Dembele must be unfit to be playing so little.
Everybody looked pretty poor at some point vs. West Ham, if that's the foundation, then we have no players we can play.
Dele is putting in a remarkable defensive shit when he is played centrally. And he scores.
He should start.

If we’re going on what works best for the team then Alli misses out. Eriksen, Son and Kane are lethal. Dembele subject to fitness is a beast of a midfielder and should start ahead of Alli in a midfield 2 every day of the week. Dembele however will only flourish if he’s besides someone like Winks who’s very direct. If Dembele plays alongside Dier and in place of Winks then we won’t have quick ball play or creativity in central midfield.

I wouldn’t like to be Poch when Rose, Dembele, Wanyama and Lamela are fully match fit... one hell of a selection headache.

I'd have Dembele or Dier with Winks in CM and Son at AM. Alli needs to get his head out of his arse and start playing some football. Hasn't had a good game yet when you consider what he's capable of IMO.

We need to play at least one strong central midfielder to combat Matic. Winks has earned the right to start and has been extremely impressive. The question is whether Poch is prepared to drop Alli? something he hasn’t done this season.

I'd play Son Alli and Eriksen as I think they'll park the bus.
I want pace in Rose and Aurier to get back when they try and counter.
Winks and Dier for muscle.
Verts and Toby keeping Lukaku quiet.
After recent team selection and performances though I don't really give a shit who plays to be honest.
In Poch we trust.

Must admit, I did think the Llorente sub was very strange last night, just hope that's not pointing to Kane being a serious doubt for Saturday.
