Anyone know why this one is on Sunday rather than Saturday when it isn't on British TV??
Poch wont ever drop Alli.I think, as Burnley are quite fond of the 442, this actually is a game where we could apply the 3 at the back format.
LlorisI think we all need a break from watching fumble****s like Alli, Sissoko and Son bounce and bumble there way round games like the balls on a fucking pin ball machine.

I heard somewhere that both clubs requested it be moved to Sunday so they could get more rest during such a busy period.Anyone know why this one is on Sunday rather than Saturday when it isn't on British TV??
all the reporting on Wednesday night's games has skewed this all massively. The full backs were no further forward in general than many other games this season or last season, and don't think it saw the CBS step up significantly more either. Both of these things happen in our 4-2-3-1.You would have thought that people would after all the shock results the Prem continues to churn out learn that you can't underestimate anyone in this division.
Playing a DM isn't about someone just sat there defending but it also allows the back 3 particularly Vertonghen and Dier the confidence to step into or carry the ball into midfield. It's these unpredictable moments of fluidity that most top team's have and will allow you to unlock a tight defence but you have to have a solid spine to provide cover and structure and with Wanyama there it does allow your wingbacks to play like wingers as if the ball gets played in behind them the right or left centreback can come across to cover and Wanyama can drop back to cover the gap.

The one thing it concsistently did was see us pull one further player behind the ball at all times and many times that was two players. A three at the back could work and be effective for us, but that wasn't the system for the long term, it was a way to show horn Dier and Wanyama into the same team.

They have to kick off at the same time as a televised game.Fair enough but why a 4pm KO?
That's not how it looked to me. Both Rose and Walker spent most of the game further forward than usual. I'd love to see a heat map to compare their positions (I could be proved wrong). This then allowed Dier and Verts to play more like old fashioned fullbacks giving us effectively one centre half.all the reporting on Wednesday night's games has skewed this all massively.
