Has to be an aggressive team selection where harassing the opponent at every phase of the game is the objective.

What I want:

Lloris
Trippier Toby Verts Davies
Eriksen Waynama Dele
Moura Kane Son

What I expect:

Lloris
Trippier Toby Verts Davies
Sissoko Waynama
Eriksen Dele Son
Kane

Son’s frazzled my brain recently. He’s capable of doing the sublime and fucking up the simple. He has phases where he’s almost unplayable then he can go 4 weeks without controlling the fucking ball. And I just can’t be doing with watching him piss about right now.

And I know Lamela can fuck about too, but at least he presses and tackles properly, which I think we’ve been lacking.
Spot on mate!

And Dier for that matter, so I’d still go with that team but stick Walker-Peters and Sanchez on the bench.
Yes should be a reall atttacking team! We MUST get an early goal here, and then put it to bed. The middle worries me a little depending on how Wanyama performs. But I guess with Dier, Dembele and Winks out we are short on midfield options, especially defensive midfield.
Couple of options if we need more in the midfield is to play with a 442 and have Davies and Rose play and Walker Peters and Trippier play! We could also bring in Foyth to play alongside Wanyama if more steel needed in midfield.
But, I hoping we can go with your attacking line up and just get our finishing done and done quickly!
Have to say I am not confident about that given recent performances, but hopefully this guys realize the champions league is on the line tonight and step up. A good solid performance here and a draw with Leicester should be no problem. But a draw here, god forbid a loss and beating Leicester doesn’t look good, and maybe not enough.
So I’m going to say it, must win game!

I really hope one day you become our manager

Whomever is in Midfield, stifle the bald one aka Jonjo Shelvey. He might be slow, but he does spray the ball around well.

Up and in his face please, get him rushing and wasting these passes.

This will never be the team but....
Lloris
Trippier Toby Verts Davies
Waynama
Eriksen Son
Dele
Kane Llorente

Against a team sitting back, diamond in midfield, Trippier given licence to play high and get balls into the box, llorente and kane to play right against their defence with Dele ghosting in. Too many times we play infront of teams and dont get numbers in the box.
