Got a full squad fitWho's fit ?
Lloris (C), Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Tanganga, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Lamela, Lucas, Dele, Sanchez, Gazzaniga, Ndombele, Gedson Vertonghen, Skipp, Parrott and youngsters such as Fagin-Walcott (CB), White (CM/DM, Bowden (CM/DM)……......
Can't see any of Kane, Son, Sissoko, Davies, Bergwijn or Foyth back.
Assuming everyone is match ready, how would you guys line up?
Think I would go:
——————Hugo———————
Tanganga Sanchez Toby Davies
———Sissoko Ndombele———
—Bergwijn Lo Celso Son—
——————Kane ——————
I’m tempted to play winks in a 3 but who do you drop? I know some would say Tanguy but I want to see what he’s like after this break.

Isn't the Sissoko stuff about him seeing him more as a RW than a CM?I read somewhere that in training Sissoko was being asked to do a lot of crossing. Given Mourhino's previous comments that he doesn't see Sissoko as a CM that might suggest Sissoko is being lined up as the RB.
And in turn I'd suggest that Winks might be the man to partner Ndombele for this match, although in some matches (especially playing every 3rd day) I imagine Skipp might get chances,
I like Bergwijn but think Dele may come in to play off Harry again, which allows Bergwijn to come off the bench.
Truth to tell with a large(ish) squad and a game every 3 days, I suspect there's got to be a lot of rotation and use of the 5 subs.
Lloris, Gazanigga
Sissoko, Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Tanganga, Vertonghen, Dier, Davies, Foyth
Winks, Ndombele, Gedson, Skipp
Bergwijn, Son, Lo Celso, Dele, Sessegnon, Moura, Lamela
Kane (Parrott)
Quite a large squad, and u23's such as Cirkin, White and Bowden might all be called upon if necessary
Isn't the Sissoko stuff about him seeing him more as a RW than a CM?
When Jose got here he played him out wide as an attacking midfield in a 4-2-3-1.

Aurier - Toby - Sanchez - Davies
Winks - Ndombele
Gio - Dele - Son

He used to tuck in and cover Serge from CM..... I wouldn't call that a wide-AM.
