Lo Celso - Ndombele

I know the likelihood of that happening are pretty much nil I would still be happy to see both Sissoko & Winks not playing together.

If Aurier is Injured I'm going

Lloris
Sissoko Alderweireld Sanchez Davies
Lo Celso Winks
Bergwijn Ndombele Son
Kane

Sissoko spends all his time in CM drifting out to RB anyway so it won't be too much a transition for him.

Was tempted to play Lamela but I'd rather use him to close the game out.

Our best hope is that David Luiz is playing and he has a barnstorming nightmare of a game for them, that coupled with their propensity to have players sent off, with that perfect storm, we may have a chance.

I've given up considering a team because doesn't matter what seems sensible he sticks with the same lame ducks every time.

Verts is too slow to play against their front 3, and Davies offers a little more quickness and since they don't have any real brute force in their attack, Davies should hold up fine. Bring in Sess to help out with the pace of Saka, and just hope we can break up play with Skipp and set it off with Lo Celso/Ndombele.

This is what I want (I understand we will see a variation of the 4-2-3-1 and we will look like garbage again). But, with this, you setup to play on the counter, but also offer a way to take control of midfield and leave the attacking channels a little less congested (It really feels pointless throwing 3 AMs and Kane out there, they all just huddle around and suck collectively). True wing play coming from the wingbacks and Ndombele/Lo Celso switching off advancing with the attack.

I actually think N'Dombele might get a start.

Surely Jose won't go with Winks and Sissoko again...

To be honest I just want to see the start of the rebuild, play players who have a future and if we make mistakes so be it. I do not want to see the same old team carted out even though we are well aware of their deficiencies and that long term they have no future.

Lloris

Toby
Sanchez
Vertonghen

Gedson
Lo Celso
Skipp
Ndombele
Sess

Kane
Son

We all know it will be the below though

Lloris

Aurier
Toby
Vertonghen/Sanchez
Davies

Sissoko
Winks
Lo Celso

Lucas
Kane
Son

This is what i want to see, given that Jose won’t throw in any kids.

Lloris
Aurier Toby Jan Davies
Sissoko Winks Ndombele
Lo Celso Kane Son​

Get Lo Celso in the hole behind Kane, with Aurier doing his usual thing being the RW and get Ndombele fizzing in those forward balls to him like he started to do yesterday and maybe we can make something happen.

The most annoying part about this fixture is that we’re not going to be there to give them the boost they actually need!

Anyone else considering not bothering watching this? I've watched every match since the restart and it's honestly depressing. Why do we put ourselves through this?

Can Gedson actually play RB or are people just putting him there because they can’t stand Aurier?

Every team thread I say "I hope we play Skipp - can't be any worse than Sissoko" then we play Sissoko anyway and he's crap.

I hope we play Sissoko :whistle:

If people hope we're moving to a 4-3-3 next season, let's do it now.
