This is most definitely the team I'd pick. Dembele is much more suited to playing away from home and Lennon would be an absolute must for me in this game. Wish Poch would give him one last go. So much better defensively than Townsend and obviously has the pace for the counter. But his superior defensive game could be really significant, as its likely to be attritional and frantic at times - Townsend is poor off the ball.

Don't see Chadli being back until WBA at the earliest. Lamela works hard at times and Eriksen has had plenty of previous success tucking in from the left.

I'd be very confident with that side.

I just hope Poch doesn't play Kane in the number ten role with one of the other forwards as the nine.

If Chadli isn't back, what team do we expect Poch to put out given our struggle in the first leg?
When Eriksen came on today Lamela was pushed out to the right. We got worse. Townsend was subbed to save him for this game.
It is either Eriksen or Lamela.

As strong as possible
Chadli should be back, I think I heard Poch say he'll train from monday in one of his interviews
edit - Chadli started training tuesday and will sit out this game​

We need to play a full strength side, that means no Dembele, he adds absolutely nothing, Lamela should play.

LLORIS MUST PLAY.

Rediclulus decision to rest lloris for the last. 2 matches, does a goal keeper need resting it's not like he's running around all game . We would probably still be in the fa cup now if he played yesterday

Vlad, Dier, Soldado and Lamela will 100% not start and I will be surprised if Davies does.

I would play dier at CB with verts been impressed with him in the games he's played there recently and I think dier would have played yesterday if he wasn't playing on weds

Harry Kane up top please so we have a striker who will actually work a defence with movement and pressing.

Good point. You could be right. I certainly would not have an issue with Dier starting-I just think MoPo will opt for the more experienced guy.

Anything but our strongest 11 would be a disgrace IMO, this is for a place in a cup final, loyalty doesn't come into it so Hugo should start. Hope Chadli is back so we see Eriksen back in middle behind Kane.

I'm not sure about Davies as he got run ragged last game. If he plays he'll need somebody to help him out. Regularly had 2 to mark when they attacked us.

I'm sure Clough will target our LB again as they did so well down that flank at the Lane.
