Meh, I think if we want to go with an attacking line up then, as stated earlier, Winks doesn't offer enough in attack and I feel like Dier can keep us ticking if he hits any type of form (Which we haven't seen in a while to be fair). I could see it happening, but i'd be disappointed.Winks will start as well I think, he's able to dictate play with his passing and movement.
This would literally reduce us to two attacking threats in the entire team, Kane and Son. Sissoko can barely assist, never mind score, and he's doing well in a CM role that relies on brute force and movement. It would be incredibly easy to shoe horn the team if we played like this. Neither Kane or Son excel at breaking teams down, Llorente does.Could potentially see Sissoko and Son off of Kane
If Son is on 1 wing, then surely GKN starts too on the other?Llorente up top with Kane and Son
Has he traveled?Please let Edwards be on the bench
If Poch thought he wasn't ready for Barnsley I doubt he will be put in for the Champions League. Oakley-Boothe will definitely be on the bench I think, and another youth player but not sure who.Please let Edwards be on the bench
Oakley-Booth and Georgieu are both in Cyprus with the teamIf Poch thought he wasn't ready for Barnsley I doubt he will be put in for the Champions League. Oakley-Boothe will definitely be on the bench I think, and another youth player but not sure who.
Yep reckon I might be mistaken as it appears a lot of them are there. Kaziah Sterling just put a post on his Instagram story of himself and Marcus Edwards tagged in Cyprus. Just seen it on TwitterOakley-Booth and Georgieu are both in Cyprus with the team
Kane. Llorente would be nice but Harry continuing his run is paramount.Genuine question here
If Kane or Llorente could score a hat trick tonight, who would you pick?

I kinda feel like Georgieu will get some minutes. What with him being a Cyprus youth internationalYep reckon I might be mistaken as it appears a lot of them are there. Kaziah Sterling just put a post on his Instagram story of himself and Marcus Edwards tagged in Cyprus. Just seen it on Twitter
I've done that before (not for a team line up but for a table I typed out).FFS, I spent ages using the space bar to get them all nicely spread out and it just auto lefts them!

Son as a straight up central AM doesn't fill me with much joy either, he's not suited to it. It will be interesting to see what happens although I think Kane and Llorente both have to start.
If ur guaranteeing a hat trick I'd go Llorente and give Kane a rest. Plus it'd stop dead any chance of the Jansen / Soldado pressure building on him.Genuine question here

Really don't care-we look after ourselves 3 pts tonight please. The other results will be what they will be.What would people prefer from the other game in our group? If we win?
A draw would see us top but a Real win would put Dortmund 6pts off the pace.
I think I'd take the latter rather than potentially having to rely on picking up points later on from Real to match Dortmund.
Either way we need Real to win all their games I reckon. If Dortmund get puts off them that means we have to as well essentially (obviously its a bit more complicated than that but you know what I mean).What would people prefer from the other game in our group? If we win?

Yeah my thinking too. If we are looking at finishing second in the group as our most likely route to progression then Real beating the other two in each game simplifies our task.Either way we need Real to win all their games I reckon.
