This.

But if drop Sissoko from the matchday squad.

He can carry the water bottles if he's up to it.

Hard to feel enthused about this.

I also think Watford will cause us a lot of problems, especially if we turn up and start the game in the same lethargic way.

I'm normally optimistic as they come. But unless we see a big change we ain't winning this, I think they're a better side than Leicester.


Can't see Lamela starting yet as much as I'd love it.

Lamela will be dropped from the squad to continue his comeback. You watch.

Lamela won’t start.

Trips and Davies for sure. Winks for Sissoko and Son for Eriksen.

Alli in last chance saloon before Lamela’s full time return.

Have we got anyone in the Yoof who can play CM at anywhere near the level we’re at?

Skipp? Someone who watches the yoof more should chime in on where he's at.

People are dreaming if they think Lamela is starting, just look at how Rose has been handled after less time out. He probably won't even make the bench. Son has to start, I'd bench Alli and Sissoko but not sure who we have to replace both of them.

I just cannot vouch for Llorente at all at the moment. Really doesn't look like someone who's gonna hit the back of the net.
I agree but play him as focal point and hopefully one of Son or other attackers can score. Then bring Kane on after 70 if we struggled. Nothing to lose the way we play at the moment and I think Kane needs a rest.

Yeah I can see the argument for it mate, I mean it will probably have to be considered as an option in what will be a very busy period. I'm just shocked at how poor in front of goal he looks. I don't think Kane looked tired today though regardless, to me he looked a lot more fresh and mobile than he has done since his return from injury, it's just his decision making that was very frustrating today I felt.

Kane

Subs- Vorm, Aurier, Foyth, Dier*, Sissoko, Lamela**, Llorente
* bloke looks knackered after playing pretty much every minute for club & country

** Temptation to start him but for fitness and well being another 20 mins sub appearance is probably needed

Agree with that. Just wish we’d bought a better back up so we could actually rotate with confidence.

Not sure what to do, other than start Eriksen & Dele on the bench.

Fail to win this and the temp in the kitchen will rise significantly for Poch. There's a few out there who are letting him down lately, it's that simple.

Golden boy Klopp was getting stick for a similar run a few weeks ago.
