Want to see Lucas staying wide for the most part today, and being judicious when choosing to come inside. What I don't want to see is him playing centrally, furthest forward, with Harry playing behind him: no thank you, sir.
Agree, need Kane holding the ball up further up the pitch and making those runs off the last defender.

Wow how bad does Eriksen have to play before he's dropped!
Seems like the guy really is undroppable no matter what.

COYS!!
Problem is, especially with Winks out, we have no one to link it all together. When Winks is healthy, you can possibly donit althought it’d be a huge risk. When he’s out, you cant do it whatsoever.

Shock! Dele is fit and back to a back 4 to accommodate.

I don't think he as an individual is undroppable. But when picking the team, you also have to look at the overall picture, the whole unit of 11 players put together. The unit might suffer more from replacing Eriksen, even if Eriksen is not playing at his best. Don't upset a balance just because you can.

It is not that simple. I fundamentally disagree with you that three CBs don't work, but more than that, Dier is back on the pitch. You don't start Dier AND 3 CBs. You start Dier and 2 CBs, or 3 CBs.

Nice to see Dier back. I've been harsh on him before due to his hospital balls, but we've missed his presence

Looking forward to pacey athletic fullbacks in a 4231 formation and a holding midfielder. I think that's our best shape.
Will be interesting to see how the fitness levels of Dier and Alli are though
The runs of Alli alone will help Eriksen I think

It's so important to get the 3 points today
A strong bench with Son and Lamela may be needed to make sure
