Fair team. Lucas and Lamela deserved to start after their pre-season and it would've sent a bad message if Eriksen got the nod.

Still surprised Son hasn't at least made the bench though.

Son is suspended still.

 

[TomHotspur]

Quite unbelievable that Nkoudou is still at the club never mind actually on the bench. Put Parrott there ffs.

Good starting 11 though.

 

[hiatus]

Guess Eriksen is being sold - I know he was recovering from a minor surgery/injury in Asia. But I doubt that’s why he’s on the bench.

 

[Melspurnian]

Suppose it was a bit far-fetched to see GLC in the squad, but I'm slightly surprised given how many we have out and the fact that even gkn is getting on there

Right. No more cheesy smiles from KWP. The gauntlet has been thrown down and he needs to pick it up.

 

[NW1Spur]

Parrott should've been on the bench instead of Wanyama

Puts him the shop window at least

Puts him the shop window at least

If he gets on, he'll just screw his knee up

 

[Allejo10]

Why the fuck are Wanyama and GKN on the bench?

 

[FightingIllini]

Diamonds Are Forever

When you add Alli, Son, Lo Celso, Sessengon and Vertonghen to that squad we now have some real depth.

Tryna get him sold so we need to pretend he's a professional footballer.

He did well in pre-season. Maybe he can step up? Or..

Puts him the shop window at least

Wanyama, too.

Only room for 11 mate

More surprised at Wanyama tbh considering we also have Dier & Skipp and they can actually walk n stuff.... At least we know Supa-Kev is fit.

 

[SausageVince]

Time to make a statement.

Anything less than a 4-0 or 4-1 win will be disappointing

Behave

 

[Broad_Lane]

That midfield three of Wink, Sissoko and Ndombele is epic!

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Eriksen benched. Bad sign

I'd be appalled if 'shop window' would influence our selection in priority over the game at hand.

 

[MVP]

Wow Grealish captain, his price just went up 20 million.
