bench is very defensive, so starting 11 better step up

I wonder if janssen would have made the bench? Lamela hopefully back for dortmund

4 defenders on the bench, yikes, tells you all you need to know about our injury crisis atm

Tells you all you need to know about our squad! that midfield skipp, winks, sissoko that's yikes! as bad i can remember that

Hoping for 3 points today good luck to the team and management

One attacking player on the bench is a real concern.

But it'll be really interesting to see how this front six works. It's potentially brilliant.

What front 6?!

Sold ? ?

It must be an injury, because if it isn't and Poch wanted to rotate/rest players I think he would have at least made the bench to balance out attacking options.

Thanks Ossie ?

Yep. Our mentality against the lower teams has been mostly superb under poch.

Under Redknapp and Jol it was much more flaky and likely we would slip up.

Although it'll be tough today.

@canadacelt how are you disagreeing with a fact? We've lost 5 games against the lesser teams in 3 seasons!

Sissoko and winks have been very good lately

 

[JCRD]

I am a bit nervous with the team in all honesty but Vardy not playing is good for us - think it is madness from Puel and I like the dude.

We need to batter them first half get a four goal lead then just chill second half because theyll just counter attack us if we are chasing the winner etc

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

if kane is back for burnley you have to wonder if poch would name 2 strikers on the bench

As I have stated in another post, I cannot believe Poch would have avoided putting Lamela on the bench so I would be very surprised if he's not got an injury albeit that it would be minor, he would have balanced out defensive and attacking bench options rather than only having Moura as that option.

 

[Gareth88]

Not sure about Skipp but needs must

We have Moura

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Who says he’s injured again? Wait until the club says something. Could be a number of things.

whatever it is, its stopping him from making the bench & this is an unfortunate reoccurrence, during our time of need to have players fit

You don’t remember people like stephen fruend or Korsten do you?

We need to take advantage of them lacking their usual firepower up top by getting a convincing lead by halftime, I don't want to see us in a position of having to defend a 1-0 lead for the last minutes.

It's almost certainly a diamond so you can add Eriksen to that list. The main question is whether Winks or Skipp will play at the base of the diamond.

Been very impressed with Winks over the last few games. I personally want to see him play alongside a natural holder because I think Winks could be a danger in the final third and I'd like to see him operating further up the pitch more often.

As is usual, our chances hinge on Eriksen. He plays well and we play well. He doesn't play well (and he is out of form at the moment IMO) then we struggle.

Let's get serious now, Out of Winks and Skipp which one is Xavi and which one is Iniesta. I'm going Skipp as Xavi and Winks as Iniesta myself. Edwards back next season for Messi role.

Fuck all that. Sissoko is Hoddle
