Kane, Lucas, Son, Lamela are ahead of Dele in the forward positions.Never known it so difficult to suggest a team. We really do not know the behind the scenes problems. Is it Eriksen etc or is it others objecting to them playing. Only Poch knows and he has to sort it quickly or quit. Not playing players does not help them get back to speed. If Dier and Dele are getting back to fitness, I would play them but not Wanyama who is clearly not up to it.
The crowd needs to get behind the team and they need to take the chances early in the game and not make any fuck ups in defence.
Yes in case we get a penalty, he never shoots wide or high always finds the keeper.Unpopular opinion.........we still need to play Eriksen
I'm not, I'm bricking it. The performance should indicate whether or not Poch is still able to inspire and motivate them or if they have now tired of his managerial approach and want a change of leadership. Difficult times...Have to admit, I'm still a little nervous about Saturday.
Chick king and few pints before the match works for me.Have to admit, I'm still a little nervous about Saturday.
Exactly this. He is playing the game ahead rather than the one in front of his eyesCould the problem be Poch is too busy predicting all the problems he perceives we'll have that he's not focusing on the actual problems we might have?

Why bother with the Chicken?Chick king and few pints before the match works for me.
These are the players that have played and the team has lost. The mix is not right. Dier and Dele were plagued with injury/illness all year and I am not sure if fully fit . Many supporters are saying we need a proper defensive midfielder and Dier has done that successfully in the past. Dele gives a very different threat to anyone else. I think if and I am not sure if they are over their problems they should start. Doubt they could then play Tuesday but let's get 3 points and worry about Tuesday then.Kane, Lucas, Son, Lamela are ahead of Dele in the forward positions.
Winks, Sissoko, Ndombele are ahead of Dier in the midfield.
Wanyama should go in January for next to nothing.
The thing we painfully lacked on Tuesday was passers in midfield - we'll need them again against Southampton to beat their press
All joking aside , he'd play with more heart than 80% of our current crop!
Don't forget his super corners and free kicks.Yes in case we get a penalty, he never shoots wide or high always finds the keeper.
Nah, we don't need him, the club is bigger than anybody's ego (even his) and it's about time he found that out.
His head is gone. He’s done nothing of note this season. We are currently up against it, and playing him is just carrying him.
That's not the point...what do we do when he's left just put out ten men ?Name 5 games in 5 years we've played well without him
That’s irrelevant, he is gone, his head was turned ages ago , we need to find a way to play without him so the sooner we do the better! Let Lamela feel his void until GLC is up to speed , also play with Aurier and Rose so we have some threat from out wideName 5 games in 5 years we've played well without him
