For what it's worth I think Poch will start Janssen and bench Lucas.
Get Harry Kane on the bench Saturday with a view to him possibly starting next Wednesday. We desperately need our main man back and rumours are he will be on the bench anyway for Ajax.
Is this rumour or fact about Kane being back for Wednesday?
Wishful thinking or reality?
I've been advocating his return since Tuesday.
Mate the rumours seem to have started from Ajax tweeting the kits and the number 10 shirt being shown. I know we are desperate right now but there’s no chance he’s back he hasn’t even started ball work.
Don’t know why some people seem convinced otherwise. . .
Jesus walked out during the pre-Ajax press conference and said there was no way Kane would be fit for anything before a possible final.
For what that is worth.
Even if he's not ready to start, I'd be tempted to put Kane on the bench - if only for the possibility that it goes to penalties.
Being Realistic it’s gonna be Barcelona and Messi the GOAT if we beat Ajax in the final...... Bournemouth is the 4th place or above cup final sadly!
He's on a roll in the reserves.He has an important role to play for this team......
I will
Get my my coatochbye:
Roles has played as an AM this season, but has played as a creative CM in the past, but better imo as an AM. Very different player to Skipp who is more of a DM albeit with good passing skills
Scored a perfect hattrick last game of left foot, right foot and header (video on last page of youth thread) and a relentless presser of the ball when not in possession (which should appeal to Poch). Given our limited attacking options and need to rest players for Ajax my suggestion for the bench to bring on in 2nd half if we are looking comfortable to rest an AM for 20 or 30 mins or so before the Ajax game.
He is. Skipp's ascent was most likely sped up by that fact. He would probably have gotten games in the cups and possibly a few appearances in the league off the bench still. But his starts would have gone to Luke had he not gotten injured.
don't want to see any messing this Saturday. There's 4 and half days to the ajax game, that's plenty. Full team, only question mark on who plays up top. I'd be tempted with janssen solely due to him being able to hold the ball up. i actually think he holds the ball up quite well and at least occupies the CBs (even if they dont have to worry about him actually scoring) as long as we have players running off him and not static as they've been recently.
oh and full team means foyth at RB.
The other 3 have even easier games, so lose this and it goes to the last week.

So eventually if we go to the final, they could play? Obviously Winks and Kane are biggest concernes, but it would be good for us to have Aurier and Lamela as options.
Poch doesn't send promising players out on loan to Southend and Stevenage. The only thing Amos has over Skipp is being 4 years older and more physically ready for PL football, he doesn't have a long term future
at the club though.
