Team v West Ham

[yankspurs]

Jan, Rose and Dele out. Eriksen and Dembele available. No mention of Wanyama and Aurier - I'm hoping they're available considering they played internationals.

Doubt Wanyama is. He got hurt during the break.

Anyway, Davies in for Rose and Lucas in for Dele in the team i posted earlier. KWP and TOB on the bench.

A few people have mentioned this

Is it more to do with crowd-trouble at a 5 30pm game, where fans have had an extra 2 and a half hours drinking before kick-off?

The game could be moved to 12 30pm, but Chelsea Vs Man Utd have got that slot

I did think about the drinking aspect of it, but our game vs Chelsea is a 5:30 KO.

3 men in the middle. To drop back and to get ball forward.

Ahh...the Christmas Tree formation.

Ahh...the Christmas Tree formation.

Well, hopefully it would control the bauble more in midfield and merrily ding dong it about.

Great news about Eriksen, Aurier and Dembele being back. Bit disappointing that Dele is still unavailable but suddenly our options are now improving in terms of the starting 11 and bench.

If that's an open house invitation
we need an address
and a telephone number.
How sad?
Or is that just an empty gesture.

Jedi’s don’t do adresses

Good point

To be honest, at first I thought it might be something to do with the logistics of the Met policing the Chelsea Vs Man Utd game and then a 5 30pm West Ham Vs Spurs game, but there's no real reason the timings would have an effect

Not sure...

Not to get TT all excited, but I think this is a good game for Foyth to start (as a CB, not a CM). Sanchez probably needs the rest after the internationals, and we need to start gauging our options in case Jan's injury keeps him out for a couple of months.

That will be the team, not doubt about it.

I’m astounded at how many teams would rather throw in Dembele after a month without football instead of give Winks the chance to build some form now that he’s getting a run and will have some confidence.

Missing KWP from the bench?

I hope it is.

I don't think it's astounding, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone who would thinks Winks may be the better option for those reasons. My preference would be Dembele for the fact that it may get quite physical on the pitch and his attributes of holding off players, general strength and retaining the ball well may be essential in such a match.
