I think Mourinho very much will try to persuade Eriksen to stay. I wouldn´t be surprised to se him start in the #10 position tomorrow.

Porto had Deco, Inter had Schneijder, Chelsea Oscar. Seems likely he will play Eriksen or Lo Celso in that position.

Should be more probable with both Son and Lucas starting as well.

He was also dreadful v Sheff Utd.. I'd be surprised if Mourinho didn't notice. He wanted him a couple of seasons back but I don't think that makes him an automatic starter v West Ham.
To be fair, 3/4 of the current squad have been dreadful under the last 12 months of the previous regime.

Unless he has had a change of heart he will not pick Eriksen the reason is that when working as a pundit for sky he said words to the effect that one of Pochs errors was to not isolate him from the rest of the squad.
I don't remember the exact reasons he gave for this bit I remember it made sense .
Now I can't remember what match he was doing punditry when he made this comment but maybe someone else can remember and can enlighten more fully.

Regardless of who starts and what formation we adopt, the most visible change will be the level of work ethic and drive.

Don't believe we'll see too many surprises here so i'd imagine we will revert back to the tried and trusted initially.

Totally agree. When you consider that Lloris, Jan, Ndombele and Lamela won't make it for Saturday yet, we can still make an 11 against WHU that does not include perhaps Eriksen, Lucas, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, you appreciate what an embarrassment of riches in terms of talent that we have in the club. We have been dropping sloppy points due to seemingly lethargic performances - either losing marginally after taking the lead or squeezing out tepid draws.

Haven't check through this thread and it might not be relevant to it but did anyone see the "Who do you think you are?" program last night? Was of Danny Dyer and his family tree.
He apparently is a direct descendant of the royals. His 22nd great grandad was King Edward 111. But the bit I found funny was so was Sir Henry (Hotspur) Percival...….. for those who might not realise it he was the man who's nickname is used by our club.
Wonder if he'll change his allegiance or if he realises this is the case?:LOL:
(If you don't know about him it's in the club's history and can probably be googled.)

It's a bit late for Henry Percival to be a Danny Dyer fan.

is there any reason Eriksen was not in any of those training ground videos?

I think the whole Levy / Poch dynamic was massively affected by differing views on how to offload these players. Rose, Eriksen, Toby etc. kept getting picked, making it harder for Levy to offload or renew them. Rose said as much. Wonder what Levy said when he hired Moruinho?

I imagine Levy has it written into the contract that Mourinho has to punk Rose like the bitch he is.

Would be surprised if Dier didn't start, JM loves a holding player,
Toby and Sanchez pairing at the back.
Son and Harry for sure, maybe won't risk moura as well so I would guess this

hopefully a bench including Sess, Moura, Tanganga, Parrott, Winks, Sissoko plus whichever keeper with two functioning arms is left at the club.

Sissoko or Winks if Ndombele isn’t fit.
