Any chance of Winks being back? We need him.
I’ve a feeling Poch will be trying to get him fit for the Ajax game so won’t risk him before that.

I'm sure that's exactly what Poch will do. However, I think the reason folks are suggesting Vinny is for three reasons: 1) Fernando was poor yesterday. Hard to see a different striker doing any worse than that. 2) Shop window. 3) Everyone loves the underdog and a great comeback story. Will the latter apply to Vinny? Probably not. But it's human nature to root for the little guy in this sorta situation.
All 3 of the teams like to play a bit, particularly Bournemouth and Everton. I can't imagine another match like the Brighton game this season.I agree with that but I'd also say it's hard to see a different striker doing any better. Brighton clogged the penalty area up with bodies and had their 2 CBs all over Llorente. If he'd dropped deeper he'd have been playing between our CBs. I've seen counless hours where teams have blocked up the middle of the pitch and we've laboured to create anything at all,but unlike v Brighton, it's often Harry Kane that can't get a sniff. I'm not saying Llorente had a good game - he didn't, but under the circumstances I don't really know what else he could do. Fingers crossed, our remaining games will be a lot more open and we can actually play some football.
