So drop our No.1 keeper, our 2nd most creative player and our top goalscorer/captain too for the derby?

Yes I did the unthinkable, I dropped the un dropable Eriksen. In my view, he is not firing on all cylinders and we need midfield players who can actually tackle and not shy away from challenges for this derby.
Just some thoughts.
We need to target their RB, as Bellerin is injured and AMN isn't as good defensively who will most likely start. I want Son to play wide and target their right side (they seem all wary of this happening, lol). I'd like to see Moura play wide on the right wing as that's his natural position and I don't think he's effective unless he plays there.
Their defense is their weakness. Like Sokratis (I hate this ratty ****) isn't pacy at all, we could use both Son's and Moura's pace on the counter. (Saw some clips of Son murdering Sokratis from when Sokratis was still playing for Dortmund years ago. Hope this happens again tonight)
The rest, I've no idea what Poch will come up with. I don't think either Winks or Jan will be ready to play today. Tripps, I don't think he will start. His confidence must be shot after the OG, and Poch won't risk playing him there as we have Aurier who's rested ahead of the NLD.

Sokratis is very quick! But son and Lucas are quicker!

We have to stop changing formation from game to game. I’d stick with 3 at the back for the rest of the season. Rumours are that Vertonghen is In, but Winks is out.
On that basis we have to go..,
Lloris; Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Aurier, Wanyama, Sissoko, Rose; Eriksen, Son; Kane
COYS!!!!!!!

He's always gonna be important, he's a goalkeeper!
The thing is he is repeatedly causing us problems some of which are costing us goals.
The annoying thing is its the easy part of his game thats the problem, mainly when he has the fkin ball in his hands or at his feet.
I think Poch should tell him DO NOT THROW IT TO A DEFENDER IF HE IS UNDER PRESSURE. CLEAR IT UP THE PITCH! Not out wide and off the fkin pitch in our own half, up the pitch.
Thing is if we are under pressure that means there are 4 or 5 of the opp team in around our area. Clear the bloody thing and cut them out of the game. Your defence push up and play them offside. Yes you MAY lose possesion but its losing possesion away from our goal not around the edge of our goal which makes ot a bloody lot harder to score.
Great shot stopper, second to none but he's become a David Calamity James and is actually getting worse.

Agree completely. Not sure Id go 3 at the back but no good comes from changing your defence and formation EVERY fkin game. I mean when was the last time we put the same defence out for 2 games in a row. Our most succesful periods defensively came from when Poch left it the fk alone for a sustained period, Walker Toby Verts Rose. Its the same with any team. I cant understand why he can't see that. Change for changes sake is another one of these modern ooh aren't I clever ideas thats actually fuckin stupid imo

Gagging for a bit of the old 4-2-3-1.
Lloris
KWP Toby Verts Rose
Sissoko Winks
Son Eriksen Lucas
Kane
No more 2 up top/diamond ballbags. Kane lone striker where he's best. Eriksen higher up the pitch but can drop into a midfield 3 when we're out of possession. Son and Lucas with space to run into rather than chasing shadows and fighting for headers through the middle. COYS!

Lucas won't start. He gets in to Kane and Son's space when he plays with them
