Don't remember Kane playing when we beat them 3-0?

Needs a rest and the premier league has to be absolutely the priority with our recent results

No need for a break now. We'll have close to 13 days off after the Southampton game to help the players rest and hopefully get Dele & Dier back. Poch said he'll take the players on warm weather training, so hopefully that time together will help them refocus.

It looks like Poch will field our A team tomorrow regardless. He's just said it's a must win and will expect players to play as if it's still 0-0. Anyways we need to go 1-0 up as early as possible to put our minds at ease. I just wonder if Dier will play tomorrow. He's now in Dortmund with the rest of the team.

Subs: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, KWP, Wanyama, Lamela, Eriksen, Llorente

Time that Eriksen sits one out, put a mirror on the seat in front of him as well so he can take a long hard look in it!

Harsh, but probably fair. He's been fairly anonymous these past few weeks. I have the feeling his game has been missing Dele. When these two play together, it seems to bring both alive and this has a very positive effect on Sonny and Harry too.

You do realise they'll all be playing in Euro qualifiers, don't you? They won't be getting much rest at all.

Southampton game is March 9th.

Warm weather training break from March 9th to March 17th?

Players will most likely link up with NT on March 18th

Euro qualifiers are on March 22nd and March 25th.

Liverpool game is March 31st.

Plenty of time to rest & recharge.

Never really understood the "playing like it's 0-0" statement. BVB won't be playing like it's 0-0, and I wouldn't expect us to.

I forgot about that international break. If Dier and Dele are selected, the club needs to have a strong word with Southgate. They've both been out for months on end. We cannot afford them being thrown in.

Mixed feelings about this one. I would let Dier go get match fitness and keep Winks and Dele back at HQ. We already know Kane is going and Tripps/Rose will probably follow suit and link up with the NT.

I think this is the sort of game where a back 3 and hitting on the counter will snatch us a goal or two. With that in mind, I’d go with (baring in mind recent injuries)

Hugo
Toby Sánchez Jan
Aurier Sissoko Wanyama/Dier Rose
Eriksen Son
Kane

Not dissimilar to the Arse game, but I think we need some consistency and stability.

Or it could provide them with some much needed match practice. Let’s face it even international qualifiers and nothing more than glorified friendlies played at snails pace so I’m all for them selecting Dele and Dier but would much prefer them to rest Kane and Rose.

I think he'll play 5 at the back. Winks/Sissoko in CM and perhaps Moura to start with Eriksen on the bench.
