I think it will be the same team except alderweireld for dier, lo celso for one of winks or sissoko and Dele in for Lamela.
Back four will be the same but agree with the other two changes.

I'm not sure about Ndombele and Lo Celso as a midfield pairing. I think if you have the two if them in midfield you've gotta have a third body in there to compensate for the lack of defensive capabilities between them. I mean I like Ndombele and think he can potentially be great but we're also talking about a person who let's players quite easily just run past him without tracking back.

My XI :

Lloris
Aurier Sanchez Dier Davies
GLC, Ndombele
Bergwijn,Dele,Son
Kane

Winks had a bad game against United and is going back. Not sure if Ndombele will play. If not, I would play Sissoko instead of him.
I would like to persist with same back4 again. If Kane doesnt cut it after 60min, depending on game situation, would drop him to bench - we cant keep carrying him. Harry has to get up to speed faster.

I’d freshen up to the max while keeping it solid and expect to win in the last 30 using 5 subs with the extra day rest massive for us. We have to use our full squad here to survive this intense schedule intact:

———————Lloris———————-
Tony Sanchez Vertonghen
————————————-Sessegnon
—————Skipp LoCelso—————-
———————Ndombele—————-
——Lucas——-Son———Ali

Sure but Lamela specifically had several opportunities to set Kane and Son away and failed each time, not good enough.
Moreover, it is a recurring theme with Lamela, we know how good Kane and Son are.
That is a load of crap! There were times he tried to set either up, especially a knackered Kane and they either didn't react in time or miss controlled the ball. But as usual its Lamela's fault. Lamela, Dier, Sissoko and Lloris are the only ones who should walk with their heads high after the match.

I love Lamela but it is so obvious his final ball and decision making lets us down sometimes.

A very good thing about this line up is if we’re sticking to our counter attack approach any balls over the top are going to have W Ham in all sorts of trouble with 3 rapid forwards.

Just think how much better we would be if we had someone like Coutinho being the link between midfield and attack... reliable defence splitting passes.

It’s a real conundrum. Kane Son Bergwijn Lo Celso have to start for me. That leaves Ndombele Dele Sissoko possibly Lamela fighting for 2 places. I think West Ham will sit deep so we need as much creativity as possible so I’d do this with Toby as we need his passing.

Aurier Alderweireld Dier Davies
Ndombele Lo Celso
Bergwijn Dele Son

Kane needs game time to get up to top form and some want to leave him out for myself I dont get that thinking .
I would play him every time and who knows when he will return to form but what I do know is if you do not play him he will not return to form.

4-2-3-1: Lloris - Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Davies - Ndombele, Winks - Lo Celso, Dele, Bergwijn - Kane.

Subs: Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sessegnon, Skipp, Sissoko, Gedson, Lamela, Bergwijn.

Defense is set with Dier's performance against United, Ndombele needs to play as well as Lo Celso if he's healthy. Lamela was really good last game but Dele starts. Son played the full game and I think it's important that we rotate.

Season ends here if we don't win. They look shit but will turn up on Tuesday.

Mourinho's biggest game yet imo. We had better put them to the sword and start to look a team at least equal to the sum of its individual parts.

The season ended on Friday night, unless you desperately want a Europa League campaign on Thirsday nights in empty stadia to look forward to ?

Absolutely spot on. Final ball from
Lamela on Friday was shocking. Which is a shame because he was good in every other aspect. Showing for the ball, pressing and creating space. Maybe we need to use him as a false 9 when Kane tires.

I'd quite like to see

Lloris

Toby
Dier
Sanchez

Aurier
Sessegnon

Lo Celso
Winks

Ndombele

Son
Kane

Dier stepping up into CM when we have possession in his old 'hybrid' role. Aurier and Sessegnon getting forward. Ndombele at 10. No chance it will happen and Dele will be straight back in and Mourinho said something about Lucas starting the next game.
