We could probably come up with 100 reasons why to start Eriksen or why not, but it would be very typical of Poch to start and trust him for this one and I would probably do the same.
 
Eriksen has been playing in the preseason games so I don't see any reason not to play him in this game. Bringing him off the bench makes 0 sense. Either he should start or not be on the team sheet at all.
 
with Son & Dele missing GLC only just joined us, Sess injuried,
we lack game changers from the bench, maybe have Lamela on bench to come on and change things if we are not going well
Eriksen on from the start
 
Lamela deserves a start, he’s looked our best AM in preseason. If Eriksen gets picked after subpar performances I for one will be a little dissapointed .

I think Winks and Sissoko will start with Ndombele on the bench.
 
yes Lamela has played well in preseason, and "should" have a start but Eriksen is the one that normally creates moves, if he's not having a good game we can take him off and put Lamela on, if Eriksen playing well we can bring Lamela on for someone else,
if Eriksen is sub and we bring him on and he plays poorly we may need to sub him (costs 2 subs)
for me I like to have a need game changers on the bench, Lamela hasn't been that, but this preseason he has shown more than he has over the rest of the time he has been here
 
Eriksen should start an rightly so. He’s still a Tottenham player, still being paid by us and is one of our better players. We need him today.

Lo Celso won’t feature. He’s had maybe one training session. Don’t think we’ll see him till the Newcastle game.

It will be nice if Allison is out for the rest of the season

I didn't realise he got injured. Good news.
Now we just need kolisanic & ozil to be hiding in witness protection for the next few years too. You wouldn't get Scott Brown missing any matches after a knife attack.
 
so have a gifted ticket. Expires at 1:30pm, issue with their system... ticket office opens at 1:30. No way I can get hold of anyone. Have called, emailed and sent a tweet. Is there any other way I can get this sorted? Wont be able to go otherwise...
