Mauricio Pochettino has told @SkySports that Eric Dier is part of a back three against Watford. #THFC

Well, if we're playing 352 would have preferred something like this to start with...

Lloris
Dier Toby Wimmer
Trippier Wanyama Winks Sissoko Rose
Eriksen Kane

Really disappointed that tripper is preferred to KWP, this (3CB) system would have suited him to a tee. Also don't really get why Winks hasn't been used, apart from meriting a start, I think we could have rotated Alli or Eriksen and kept them fresh for Chelsea. If we are playing 3421/3412 then it looks like Eriksen will be flogged in some kind of CM2 role ?

Didn't know Watford had the same entrance music as Everton

Happy New Year, lads.

Have we ever seen wanyama and dier in the middle since early season ? Just
too defensive against an average side. Away to a top 6 team then maybe.

We haven't had Toby fit e.g. A right sided CB. Wimmer is playing only coz of Verts. If Toby was out and not Verts he wouldnt

You worried about the poor little lambs getting wet JH ?

Soaking wet pitch = Gomes howler.

Good for us (if they haven't scuffed up their pitch like they did last season to play us).

Undecided, @Bus-Conductor.

With those two now up top I suspect we will switch back to a flat back 4 within first 15 mins.

Their pitch is in much better shape this season, @thinktank.

Going for the belt and braces of a quote and an @ eh JH ? Sturdy.

 

[Mikegold]

Fair enough everyone I was wrong! Very strange formation (I like it) but was way off with what I thought.

Anyway we should beat them easily with all their team out.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Decent line-up, COYS!!
