I'm fine with everything apart from sissoko starting. I am not anti sissoko I just don't understand why we wouldn't start dembele when we have an international break next.
I would understand if we had a midweek Prem game or something but not playing our best team in a QF could come back to bite us.

Good point, no point starting with anyone who can't potentially play 120 mins - otherwise you are snookered for subs.
Really cannot understand that line up and I hate the message it sends but we should still have enough to beat them.
This team is perfectly fine to beat Swansea.
I wouldn't call that our strongest 11, and surely with a long international break coming up you may as well go full strength.
Stupid to play carthorse Sissoko as creativity in central midfield is zero.
Decent 11. It will be tricky but these guys should get the job done
Maybe he figures Vorm is a better penalty stopper

Agreed. This 11 would be top 5-6 in the league. Swansea will make it hard but we’re capable of getting the job done in 90 minutes.
He's in the Belgium squad. Starting there will indicate his fitness. Poch will be keeping a close eye.
I see Eriksen dropping down midfield to provide the creative edge if needed as well. He tends to do so anyway
Bloody lucky we have 4 very creative players in front of him then eh?
Eriksen will drop deeper to collect as he regularly does.
What message(*)?
...That we have a damn good 2nd keeper?
...That Dembele is physically a bit delicate and may not be in the greatest of shape for some reason.
....Or is it cos that 'hack' Moura gets a start ahead of someone that some on here incessantly moan is 'undroppable' (in the negative sense).
'Welcome' back.... 'Good' to see you're as positive as ever....
(*Maybe its the same destructive message that was subliminally coded into Poch's book....

I did consider it before posting but it's a friendly not PL pace so not much of a weight for Poch.
