Think we'll hand them a tonking by 4 or 5 goals.

I'd go with this team as well, I think Winks has earnt his place over the past couple of games.
You are joking right ? Winks earnt his place in the starting line up ?
Sooner have Davies and Dier but they both need upgrading imv
No, I think he has. Which more speaks to the lack of quality we have in centre midfield than anything else. He got a lovely assist for the Kane goal that was wrongfully ruled out and played good, progressive passes v Liverpool as well. You could make a case for Ndombele starting but he just doesn't run enough for a central midfield player and is on his arse by 60 mins.
I'd go for Ndombele and Skipp in the middle, but I think Tanguy is on his way out so it may not happen.
He did give Harry a good pass for the wrongly disallowed goal but is still too prone to embarrassing brain farts like when he tried to dribble from the box yesterday and virtually fell over the ball
Too lightweight for me
Winks has really improved under Conte. Played the ball for the penalty, played the ball for Kane's offside goal. Put more crossed in the box against Southampton than any other player.
If we are playing the 343 with Lucas up front then there are only two midfield spots. Skipp is nailed on to start and the only other spot is between Winks and Hojbjerg. Ndombele and Dele are not credible playing in a two man midfield, especially away from home.
Right now I think Winks is looking better than Hojbjerg, he is dangerous on the ball in a way that PEH just isn’t.

I don't think he's a long-term answer, but on form I'd give him a go for this game. If Conte can make a servicable squad player out of him, mores the better. Hopefully, we will buy a centre midfielder in January (would love us to get a couple of them if we are playing 352, but I'd settle for one now and one more in the summer - for midfield that is.)
Our next fixtures are Watford (PL away) on Saturday followed by Chelsea (Carabou Cup away ) on Wednesday and then Morcambe (FA Cup, home) on Sunday.
At the moment this is probably our best team (although arguments for either Sanchez or Tanganga, Winks or Hojbjerg etc) - do we bank on all the players being fit enough to play both games against Watford and Chelsea before resting some against Morecambe ?
Injured : Romero, Sessegnon, Lo Celso, Bergwijn

Top 2 now are bankrolled by wealthy shady owners. Boring and not a sport.
Heard were swapping ndombele for tolisso plus were getting cash on top. What a waste of time and money ndombele was.
We will have to go strong for the next two we should get over Watford the Chelsea game will be a tough one obviously with our away record poor especially against Chelsea we have to give ourselves a chance in the second leg of course .
Still can't believe it's a 2 leg tie.... Fucking ridiculous!
No I believe it lolMariner - Fat thumbs?
Thought it would end up one leg tie myself the way it was been mentioned but bad luck for us one leg at Wembley we would have a better chance I feel think they will be up enough for this one unfortunately.
