Yes I am a peckerhead.

Lloris

KWP - Toby - Jan - Rose

Winks - Ndombele

Moura - Eriksen - Lamela

Kane​

Gazza, Sanchez, Tanganga, Sissoko, Skipp, GLC, Parrott.

Pretty strong team & bench considering none of the below are available:

Son, Wanyama, Dier, Sessegnon, Alli, Foyth, Aurier & Davies.

Does anyone know when Aurier is back? Thought he was training with the squad?

Eriksen must play! Me must expect and demand him playing and being professional. After all we pay him a lot and he's a contract signed. If he doesn't manage to be professional and distance himself from his thoughts and dreams on being Messi or Ronaldo, we should be in full rights to stop the payments and his salary.

When Walker wanted out he got very little game time and when he did play was pretty bad, if Eriksen is still thinking of leaving then not sure he should be picked.

I would have him on the bench, his head is not in it ATM and lamela has looked good in preseason

How can you possibly know this? Seriously?

Doomsday assumptions! We have no idea, if his head is in it or out of it or anything else.

It’s Pochettino judgement call to make I suppose.
He didn’t look particularly focused during preseason and didn’t start in our last game vs inter.

Eriksen is still under contract and he's one of our best players. He should play - (unless his head has completely gone, which is doubtful).

I wouldn't start Eriksen until the European window is closed. Just too much going on with him right now.

KWP Toby Verts Rose
Winks
Sissoko Ndombele
Lamela
Lucas Kane

Subs: Gazza, Sanchez, Tanganga, Skipp, Eriksen, Lo Celso, Parrott.

Bollocks to eriksens heads gone. We get these rumours everytime the club is thinking of selling a big player in order to soften the fans to the idea. It is the club pr machine at work.
Now the window is shut and we can't replace him till jan he is a very big part of the team and needs to play.
What we don't need is fans assessing his every touch on the ball to prove that his head is gone. We need to show him some love, you never know he might even decide to stay.

I very much doubt that if everyone is fit Eriksen will start for us again until he signs a new contract, and I very much doubt that he will.
This being the case we must pick sides that can perform without him as for all intents and purposes he would be no longer an intregal part of the first 11.

He can still leave this summer to go abroad tbh but very much agree with your post - it's in his best interest to get his head right anyway, if he stays after the window he needs to play for the sake of his new employers and the fact that there's a Euro tournament next summer and he needs to be match fit for that. If Levy can't get any money for him and I hope he doesn't then he stays and we need to get behind him.

If we'd have got a replacement in then i'd be happy to bench him. But we didn't.
