Yes I am getting ahead of myself and by Friday all our dreams may be dashed.
But here's another pointless poll if you want a break from refreshing twitter.
On FIFA perhaps. In reality Ndombele can barely last 20 minutes at present. He clearly has quality but needs to be fully fit and find his feet,else the team you've shared is essentially 10 men...
Good grief, another one jumping the gun! Will people never learn?

we need another creative midfielder. secretly thinking if we were able to bring back eriksen we'd have a near complete squad that'd be enough to challenge for a trophy or two. he'd be our most creative player by far in spite of his slump.
What the fuck are you drinking/sniffing ? (or is it both). The squad is starting to finally take shape, the mood is positive despite the Everton result and you are talking about bringing Eriksen back ?? FFS
no point in having son, kane, bale up front if all we're doing is side passes
You're serious aren't you ? You would have eriksen back ? You think he would be an improvement to the current line up ?. There are no words. I'll leave it there.
On paper, if those players could play to their max capacity and potential, then yeah, that’s an incredible team. It’s extremely attacking though with two wing backs and NDombele is not great on the defensive end. Son puts in a shift defensively but I don’t think Bale will so you have three players in Bale, NDombele and Kane who won’t be doing much defending. If Mourinho can figure out how to make that starting 11 work, than it’s bloody exciting.
N'Dombele and Lo Celso are not making sideways passes though.
[FORMATION=433, Lloris, Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon, Lo Celso, Winks, Ndombele, Bale, Kane, Son]
[/FORMATION]
I think this would be much better than what the OP posted. Tanganga is better defensively than Doherty, and can move in as a third CB which would allow Reguilon freedom moving forwards.
Five problems though:
1. Son is not a very good combination player, which would make the Son-Reguilon left side a bit less effective than it could have otherwise have been;
2. The system is not set up to exploit the space on the right when Bale moves inside, which he should;
3. Although I like the idea of Winks in a midfield where his sideways passes would be passes to more adventurous players, he is not the defensive powerhouse that would be preferable in such a system;
4. All three of the offensive players likes to shoot rather than to pass, the system would be way more efficient if Kane had used his excellent passing ability to set up Son and Bale rather than to go for goal himself, a bit like Firmino for Liverpool (the trio of Son, Bale and Kane, if they had been less selfish, could be absolutely brilliant);
5. Mourinho is our manager, not Klopp.

That 11 would slaughter Orient, but get undressed by Liverpool on the break.
that’s a team you would get with Harry Redknapp.
More 8-3
