Well that's good and bad. Good in the sense he was considered ahead of Skipp and bad for obvious reasons
Dele, Dier and Aurier are not starting, so it should be interesting following developments on who is going to be blamed. Will be more interesting than the match itself probably
Jan. It’ll be dressed up though, such things like ‘Jan is finished’, ‘His legs have gone’ and will certainly be a few ‘it’s such a shame he’s past it’ type comments going on.
Hugo always in with a shout too of course.
The clear favourite is Winks though

It'll be Harry Winks fault, it's true.
Interesting line up. Possibly actually more suited to the counter attacking style we have done with mixed results recently in that we should be able to soak up pressure a bit better but have enough with Tanguy, GLC, Moura and Stevie for a fast transition
Respect to Jose for taking a brave call with Dele and dropping Serge
even if we don’t win these are the right calls to be making given form

Considering 'disjointed' could probably be applied to almost every game we've played this season that's hardly the result of some sort of shrewd insight or reading the coffee grounds
You don’t need shrewd insight to see that playing a formation and starting XI of whom a) have barely played together and b) not in said formation and c) have two left sided defenders one of whom is ready for the pound and the other has zero attacking intent and runs in treacle to come to a conclusion that we’re either going to see one of José’ tactical miracles or another train wreck.
I like the decision to play wing backs but I wouldn’t have played either Vertonghen or Davies and I also wouldn’t have played both Bergwijn and Moura. Ideally Bergwijn as he’s led the line for PSV this season, then added another midfielder eg Fernandes, Lamela or even Alli.
we’ve been awful keeping tabs on strikers in a back 3 the last few years. Will be shocked if he’s not finding open headers.
also, 100% chance the murderer scores a free kick.

The excitement after that line up at Norwich was my season highlight until the city game ?

Wingbacks = ideal scenario for Sessegnon. He’s quick, has attacking intent and would give us balance. Strange as to why he hasn’t made the team/bench the last few games.

Haha I was so excited by that lineup. What a shit show that was. I feel much better about this as long as Lo Celso keeps his central midfield role and keeps us ticking.
