You're crazy if you think Kane and Dele won't be playing.
They were subbed for a reason yesterday.
Both recovering from injuries and this game isn't vital to win, I don't think it's crazy at all for them two not to start.
I think both were subbed to prevent a terrible day getting even worse. Kane was already booked and Deke was so shit that he might have resorted to god knows what. Plus, both were clearly knackered and just need a rest. I wouldn’t start either.You're crazy if you think Kane and Dele won't be playing.

Keep this match thread, at least the thread title is correct(we're away not at home), and as an added bonus - none of "The Mighty" bollox.
Aurier, Rose and Winks for Trippier, Davies and Sissoko.
Son for Alli perhaps.
Reckon a draw.

Agree. This is CL, Kane would have told the coach to play him too. But Son also looks like he is going to play. Do we drop Eriksen?You're crazy if you think Kane and Dele won't be playing.

I would swap foyth for Dier some how, he played 2 full games for England, and with Toby and Wanyama out we need to give him some rest when ever possible.[formation=352, Hugo, Dier, Sanchez, Jan, Aurier, Alli, Winks, Eriksen, Rose, Llorente, Son][/formation]
Give Kane the rest he needs. he can come on for the last half hour after Son has ran their defence ragged. Would mean Kane & Dembele will be fresh to start against WBA next weekend.
Not seen much of Foyth yet so i cant really comment on that, i just think this is still an important game for us as a win would all but guarantee top spot. Yes we're struggling with rest/injuries at the moment, but all i've seen from Foyth so far is some league cup minutes against mediocre sides. I'd be nervous if he started this game, what do you think?I would swap foyth for Dier some how, he played 2 full games for England, and with Toby and Wanyama out we need to give him some rest when ever possible.
Take a draw here. WE're a bit tired and with several carrying niggles, that will be a good result. Keeps us on top of the group.
A draw is not worthless just for the notoriety of continuing unbeaten in the the toughest group in the toughest competition. A result away to a good (albeit out of form) side after the omnishambles that was Saturday is a great tonic. Then we smash APOEL at home to complete an unbeaten group stage.We need three points from Dortmund&Apoel to win the group, so a draw here is pretty much worthless unless Real fuck things up.
Agreed it is a slight risk, but I can't remember the last time Dier had some rest, maybe we could play Davies in a back 3, with Rose as a wing back and still rest Dier.Not seen much of Foyth yet so i cant really comment on that, i just think this is still an important game for us as a win would all but guarantee top spot.
