In fairness this thread is for what team you’d like to see rather than a message to Pochettino saying ‘this is what you should do’

Give sanchez a rest and to let him know he's not undroppable.

Dier keeps his place after fa cup ahead of wanyama who deserves a game.

Eriksen sitting a bit Deeper and getting on the ball further back where he can start the faster attacks with more space

Lucas and son/lamela on the wings cutting in

not all Poch rejects some harry let go but you get my drift I hope

Clear as gravy. At midnight. During a lunar eclipse

Could be my imagination, but it feels that we've been a little be leaky at the back for the past couple of months. Not like we're getting trounced, but clean sheets seem few and far between recently. Perhaps this is a good game to revert to 3 across the back?

Lloris
Toby - Dier - Jan
Tripps - Wanyama - Dembele - Davies/Rose
Dele - Eriksen
Kane

Subs: Lamela, Moura, Son, Sanchez, Aurier, Sissoko

Might help us get Tripps firing again. And if Rose could play, that would be a bonus, as he's a bit better at Davies in this formation.

My take on this, is that we have seemed a bit nervy and vulnerable at the back over the last half-a-dozen games. Maybe the team would play with more confidence if there's a more solid foundation to build from. Yes, it definitely might not help against a bus-parking team... but I Watford a more daring than that. They will come out of their shell to attack. But I don't think they'd be expecting us to play in this formation. So, element of surprise could help too!

That settles it then.

See how we get on with man city's approach.. we have the team for it and just go for an 8-2 scoreline!

No match thread yet so I thought I’d put this in here

I would play Trippier simply as he loves getting assists against Watford.

 

[mattdefoe]

Can’t see rose coming straight back in if he only started training today?

 

[spursfan77]

I feel we need to shake things up a bit. I’d be tempted to go to a back 3 again. Especially as that’s been successful against Watford before.

Lloris, Alderweireld, Sanchez, vertonghen, Trippier, Dier, Dembele, Davies, Alli, Eriksen, kane.

Reverse fixtures of one's left we took 5 points which would probably see us caught... Umm.. there's my positive input ?

 

[phaser]

I would play Trippier simply as he loves getting assists against Watford.

Poch favours the rotation of the team, especially in defence and midfield. I would be concerned to see Aurier, Sissoko and Lamela on the pitch at the same time, it could be a long night.

Based on form and fitness I’d drop Kane.

I think we'll need Lamela's energy to get us off to a good start. Erik will set the tone and hopefully Kane can grab a couple goals before halftime.

Would love to see the introduction of fast full backs just to make it more exciting. Want Toby to start over a back 4 because, well you know, he’s quite good.

I think Toby needs to start, and I would put Sterling on the bench over Llorente. If we can wrap up a CL spot then I think Foyth should get a start just to see how he performs in the PL.

I know Wembley has excellent drainage, but absolutely shocking weather forecast for Monday 24 hrs of heavy rain till KO. Hope doesn’t get waterlogged.
