I couldn’t care less about winning the League cup again and I struggle to give a fuck about the FA cup either

Agree with Hugo.
Disagree massively about Winks.
And disagree with Trippier. Bit OTT. He may not be our level now but he’s better than championship level. He’s not being linked with Birmingham and Rotherham. He’s being linked with Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Utd. Will he go to one of them? Possibly, probably not, but he certainly won’t be going to the championship.
Ironically, in my opinion, Winks is massively underrated by almost every other teams’ fans I’ve spoken to and seen on social media. 2 seasons ago one of my ‘5 things to predict’ was Winks making his spot his own, breaking into the England team and starting at the World Cup. He did the first 2 and only missed the World Cup through injury. In my opinion, he’s the real deal. He has much to learn, especially in the final 3rd, but to control games like he has done at his age in the middle of the park is some feat. If he continues like he has been progressing and stays relatively injury free, I think he’ll be one of the best midfielders for England and in the Prem.
Just my opinions though.

@Bulletspur @Fidget not sure why you’re disagreeing. It’s my opinion, I know it’s unpopular, that’s the point of the thread

I am not disagreeing to you having an opinion, its just that I disagree with it as I want us to win a trophy, any trophy. If I disagree, what other ratings should I use? Dont take it as negative or a slight on you as that was not the intent.

To be fair i think agree and disagree are fine for this thread to give a gauge of whether it truly is unpopular or not, if I remember correctly a disagree doesn't count as a negative rep on the old stats, as it's just used for opinion.

These threads only work if they're an unpopular opinion amnesty. Otherwise what's the point?

Here you go I'll give you one to test the disagree rating 
. I think Kane has such all round ability that he is wasted sitting inbetween two CB's and simply as our mainscoring threat. I'd like to see us try something where he basically plays at 10. So in a 4-2-3-1 something like this using our current players:
Ndombele Winks
Son Kane Dele
Moura
I think Dele spent a good chunk off time out on that left and I'd like to see Son on the wing with Moura occupying the two centrally allowing Kane to get on the ball more and pick the passes, I know a 4-3-3 would probably be more agreeable but I'd like to see us try with fitting in that front 4 and I'm tired of seeing a player of Kanes ability go through games barely on the ball.

I'm not convinced that Ndombele will hit the ground running and I have concerns that coming to a more competitive league will highlight some deficiencies. I worry because there will undoubtedly be a huge expectation from fans and as a result things could turn sour quickly.
Equally, he could be magnificent, I just have a nagging feeling.

Well I think it'd be fine if people can accept that a disagree isn't personal and it's purely about the opinion but I'd hope people can debate the unpopular opinions in a fair way and if its just rehashing the player threads then take it there.
Erik Lamela is the perfect replacement for Christian Eriksen and might even be better/offer more than the Dane. If he is anointed our "#10"- meaning, Poch plays him as the attacking mid- game in/game out (as he has with Eriksen these past 5 years)- we won't miss a beat.
Oh, and the # 2 unpopular opinion (more prediction than opinion but whatever): Lamela will not be injured/out this season (at least not for any more time than is relatively normal for a stalwart, starting player) and will, therefore, finally silence his critics. He will be integral to the no-Eriksen changeover that's coming by making the ACM-position his own.
