Team v CSKA

[millsey]

United are in Ukraine on Thursday night so there won't be a better chance to go to Old Trafford and win.

Rest everyone.

Agreed. Can you imagine Kane doing his happy on weds? Jeez. Poch will prob keep lloris, change the full backs, play Toby and vert, Dier in midfield and then the likes of sissoko and Jansen

There is absolutely no point whatsoever in playing a strong first team, as even if we progress to the Europa knockout, Poch isn't going to take the latter stages seriously as we saw with Dortmund last year (he didn't even take the must win CL Monaco game too seriously) so the only possible purpose this game or, if we progress, the Europa serves is to give fringe and development players game time.

Well he certainly won't play a formation he's never played before. He's never just played the reserves either, he always has a core of first team players

We must give ourselves every opportunity to qualify for the Europa Cup. We must not disregard a prestigious trophy.

Rest Wanyama for United

Considering that Poch rested Verts in the Monaco game, even though, at that time, we still had a chance of qualifying for the KO rounds of the CL, I doubt he will be used for this match. Maybe he'll be on the bench. If Toby is available, I think he'll get some minutes in readiness for the United game.

Poch has shown a complete disrespect and disregard for this competition and for the 85k fans that have packed wembley so far, he will continue to play a weakened 11 with a mix of youths and reserves especially with Utd at the weekend.

 

[Japhet]

Europa League is our level at the moment to be honest. We should try to win the thing. CSKA game is a dead rubber so other than giving Toby some competitive minutes and Dier getting back into midfield I'd expect a load of second stringers and kids.

[Mr Pink]

Is United's game in the Ukraine a dead rubber or is Mourinho expected to field a strong side?

They only need a point and the other team is shit but he's been playing strong teams anyway so that probaly doesn't answer your question

Good enough that they need something though and with the pressure he's under I can't see him leaving all their first eleven at home.

 

[diamond lights]

Lloris, Trippier, Toby, CCV, Davies (KWP/Wimmer if not fit), Dier, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, N'Koudou, Janssen.

Bring off Toby and Erikssen after 50-60 minutes

if we throw this game then nothing short of winning the league will be acceptable recompense, finishing amongst the top 3 losers isn't an honour. no one knows where we'll be when the europa starts up again, we might be well off the pace in the league and then what do we have left to play for, maybe the fa cup(if we haven't thrown that as well), great.

Add to that, you see a guy like Lloris and see someone that wants to win trophies. If we continue to throw competitions that we might be able to win, at the expense of trying win the virtual 4th place cup no wonder he is considering leaving.

Well nowhere has actually said that he is considering leaving, but he hasn't signed a new contract yet when pretty much everyone else has this season. Poch said he's very ambitious, which to me means he wants to win trophies. And that's not going to happen at Spurs if we keep chucking competitions we might actually win.

[St José Dominguez]

I want us to win and stay in the Europa. Firstly if we don't start winning games at Wembley next season is going to be an absolute disaster. Secondly if we don't start learning how to perform in Europe and the league simultaneously we will never be a successful club.
