Now, Im no football manager, but how can it be beneficial for anyone to drop Sissoko after he finally looked like making progress?

Actually agree with you and not like the guy is tired. I can only think that Poch thinks we will have alot of the balance in front of their defence and Sissoko is useless in unlocking doors let alone defences,

I really hope (if we are playing 4231) that Dembele is playing further forward as an ARM and it's not Winks being pushed up into ACM with the axis of fucking amble as s cm2.
Even if it is what you fear it may not be as static and dull as you think because Winks does show/demand the ball in tight midfield spaces more than most.

Reminds me of when Ponch dropped/rested Son when he was on top form, he never seemed to hit them heights again. I would have kept Sissoko in too, a perfect team for him to build up more confidence

The line up is way too defensive, apart from the 5 attacking players in front of our sole box-to-box DM, and the 2 marauding full backs behind him. Apart from those 7 or 8 players though, too defensive.

Because we have a lot of games coming up and will need to rotate players to keep them fresh.

Interested to see how we lineup. It could potentially be a diamond in midfield with Alli right up alongside Kane as another striker.

I'm glad Winks is playing regardless of how we lineup
