His best position IMHO.
Stupid losses of the ball will have less impact and he will be all over the defenders, with fewer men to beat on the occasions the ball does drop to him.

I thought Lamela was out too?
Fuck me, we really HAVE upset the Footballing gods by DARING to crash the CL Party...
It's like we're not allowed to do it 5
years running!

An interesting and oft repeated mantra - I think we understand your view now. I suppose it really depends on what you mean by 'out and out strikers', surely not the Shearer, Giroud or Lukaku models?
But how many 'out and out strikers' do Manchester City have? And Liverpool? And Barcelona? And Real Madrid? And Bayern? And Juve? You get the point - teams these days don't need more than one 'out and out striker', and often don't play with even one anyway, because that isn't the way the game is played anymore. Even Man Utd didn't replace Lukaku like for like when he left and let's face it, they'll pay big money for anything with a slight pulse. It's in midfield where games are won and lost these days - Liverpool and Man City have both concentrated on strengthening their attacking midfield and wing positions, which negates the need for a target man (which I have assumed is what you mean by an out and out striker). Sadly our midfield is lacking at the moment - particularly central and defensive midfield, and that's where I think we need to improve. We have the players - but for whatever reason they just aren't playing.
So Dele CF it is then
I have a good feeling about Alli today. Not necessarily the result but just Alli specifically.
Has he released a new t shirt?
That's what I meant about the digs a few days ago. Not football related and not necessary.
Pretty sure Poch ruled Lamela out due to injury in Friday’s press conference.
Lucas up top, son on the left and Lamela (is he fit?) on the right. Lo Celso, Ndombele and Sissoko in the middle with lo Celso potentially playing CAM if it's 4-2-3-1 rather than 4-3-3
When and how did he get injured again ffs.
-------------N'dombele----Sissoko-------------
--------Lo'Celso------Eriksen-------Son------
-------------------------Dele-------------------
Ideally i wouldn't start Eriksen but with the injuries I feel we have to on this occasion and hope he shows up.
Just checked and yes Lamela is out with a thigh problem...
From the bbc preview...
Tottenham left-back Danny Rose serves a one-game ban after accumulating five yellow cards.
Jan Vertonghen's hamstring problem will be monitored, while Erik Lamela again misses out because of a thigh injury.

If H is out,then I think it going to be one of them silly games. Hopefully we win with unlikely heroes.
Sissoko Hat-trick....
Sissoko Hat-trick....
Christ can’t people even make a joke anymore
When Dele does something good on a football pitch he’ll get my praise.
I reckon Gazzaniga could do a job up top!
...after all, Kane was our #1 that one time!!
If only we signed a LB!!!
Oh wait
I’d only we signed an AM!!!!
Oh wait
If only we had 4 CBs!!!!
Oh wait
errrrrr if only we kept Janssen!!!!
LEVY OUT!!!
Swap Dele for Moura and I’m in
