Guy. What is the point of naming seven players not on our books ? Is it a wish list ? if so you are on the wrong thread.

We have to play Llorente and adapt to his strengths a bit. Push Dele right up to play alongside him, feed off the knock downs etc

He'll give us a bit more of a chance with set pieces as well. Assuming Sissoko, Lucas and kane are out.

Lloris

Aurier
Alderweireld
Vertonghen
Rose

Dier

Winks
Eriksen
Lamela

Dele
Llorente

I would go back to a back 3 given who is available

Been awhile since we played it but we were pretty solid with that formation

Think we might see a run of games with Toby Jan and Sanchez at the back with the injuries.

I know everyone's dropping Trippier from their squads completely (yet again), but if Harry isn't fit and Llorente is starting, then I don't see how that makes much sense tbh.

When was the last time Trippier got an assist?.

We have a RB who got 3 assists in a half against Bournemouth waiting on the bench, Trippier needs to sit out he's 3rd choice for me at the moment.

(3-4-2-1)

Lloris

Alderweireld
Sanchez
Vertonghen

Aurier/KWP
Winks
Eriksen
Rose

Lamela
Llorente
Dele

Seems to be the best option to me, especially with Lucas a big doubt.

I can see this logic, especially if we go for a back 3 and Llorente plays. Aurier is probably pencilled in for Chelsea too.

Assuming it's worst case scenario on the injury front (though I suspect at least one player will be rushed back, in midfield particularly):

Lloris

Trippier Toby Jan Davies

Winks Skipp

Lamela Eriksen Alli

Llorente​

Especially as Pochettino keeps picking him.......

...and personally, I agree with him.

The club uses statistical analysis and KT is performing pretty far ahead of the other Right Back options in most things.

4th most Premier League minutes in the squad, 2nd highest touches in the team, and most key passes after Eriksen, most tackles etc. Even per game etc. he appears to be ahead of KWP and Serge in most things...plus he adds more attacking than both of them IMO.

But he's shit of course.

Like the idea of Alli in a striker role. Concerned about llorentes lack of mobility.

Because we would not be expecting anything but failure from him I say play 16 year old Troy Parrot .
Of course most will say too young too soon.
Who knows?
