Maybe GLC is not ready for 90mins as he picked up a knock. Dier will need to manage Grealish.

Fat chance of that IMO. Grealish will run rings round him.

Jose’s infatuation with Lucas up top instead of Son annoys me

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Remember we have 3 important matches in 7 days guys. We’re not gonna play the same 11 for each match...

 

[RichieS]

Mings injured for them?

Their defence tends to disintegrate without him.

 

[thebenjamin]

Obviously managing the squad for leipzig and chavski but still, horrible midfield.

I expect we'll be going for the usual stay in the game until 75 minutes and then try and have an attack

 

[yankspurs]

2 central defenders and 4 central midfielders on the bench

The Mourinho way

3 matches in 6 days

Tough game coming up for Winks.

 

[Marty]

I hate seeing Dier on the pitch and both Lo Celso and Ndombele on the bench, but I can understand it if the latter two play v Leipzig.

 

[theShiznit]

Dier plays due to wind resistance.

can’t believe we haven’t got our new January striker signing on the bench today

 

[Wadec]

Got to be honest the only real change I would have made is Lo Celso for Dier. However I can see the logic in this team. Dier to stick on Grealish or can slot into a crack 3 to mirror their shape.

Lo Celso is needed for the other games more than this.

Think Davies will make a huge difference as whilst others have slotted into the position Davies suits this role to the ground.

COYS

Good team although I would have preferred glc or ndombele for dier. I guess dier has been told to stick to grealish

And grealish has been told to stick to Diers first touch

Would gladly shit out a poor performance but getting 3 points today if it means we're in better condition for Wednesday.

 

[Timberwolf]

Disappointed to see Lo Celso and Ndombele on the bench but I can only assume they're being rested for Wednesday (Lo Celso especially). I guess we're going to try and stay solid and ruin them with our pace on the break. At least now with Stevie, Lucas AND Son we have 3 absolute live-wires who between them should be able to cause any team problems...if we can get the ball to them.

Dier to stick on Grealish...

Unless they are both wearing Velcro I don't see that happening.

Out with tonsillitis.

I cant believe our 30m winger cant get a spot

 

[SugarRay]

Fat chance of that IMO. Grealish will run rings round him.

If anyone is getting detailed to take Grealish, I’d rather it was Winks. He can move quick enough at least

It’s clear Jose got an eye firmly on ze Germans, and possibly Chelsea

That’s all well and good but lose today and it’s a massive spanner in the works

 

[yankspurs]

If we’re going to play an out and out DM against Villa, why not play one who can move? Give Skipp the opportunity. The last frw times Dier has started there, he’s been hauled off after 30’ and 45’
