There'll be a reason that Jose has chosen that midfield

I would imagine it's because Burnley will he limited in their counter attacking options; close this attacking outlet off and our chances of winning seriously increase

Even if it takes 90 minutes to break through Burnley's tight defense

So much negativity on here. What is it, Jose's 5th game? For fuck sake give him a chance to work this out. I think he has seen the guys in training. COYS

You have to assume that GLC just doesn't look as good as the players who keep getting picked over him. Which bodes well for when eriksen leaves huh.

I assume Jose see him as a no 10 and at the moment Dele and Eriksen seem in front of him

It's just an uninspiring starting 11, that's all.

To be fair to Jose he did explain why he had to play Sissoko in centre midfield midweek and having Winks and Ndombele injured is hardly giving him much option today either. I personally would have played him tucked in on the right and Lo Celso or Eriksen as an 8 instead of Moura but I respect the decision. At least we have a defensive minded midfielder alongside Siss so it might not be too bad. It will be all about that front 4 getting the job done today. COYS!
Eh. It's an excuse. He could play an actual CM in Skipp who is definitely ready for at least this fixture.

I'm getting really sick of a winks/sissoko/dier combination midfield.

I want LoCelso/Ndombele plus one other.
We need more creativity.

(I'm aware injuries dont always permit this)

Begs the question why we were prepared to pay so much for a third choice AM, because it seemed to me he was third choice in that list with Poch too.

That's freaky as hell. The second the team was announced, Ndombele got injured in my FM save.

Not at all. But I've watched enough of spurs over the last 12 months to know that winks and sissoko have huge limitations. And Dier is hardly an upgrade on either.

Try something new, or expect the same shit.

Hahah Burnley's bench has an A. Lennon and an A. Glennon.

Obviously A. Lennon is our Aaron Lennon.
