Yup, I would definitely want Sissoko starting.The team that started last week against Palace.
I fear for us tomorrow. We don’t usually like playing teams with ballers in the midfield as a 35 year old Valbuena showed on Wednesday when he dominated us. With Maddison and Tielemans in there I sense trouble. Hope I’m wrong and would feel that a win in whichever way it comes would be huge so here’s hoping.
We don't like to play against bus parkers and now we don't like footballers in the opposition side.
Damn we are screwed.
Yeah strange take, we normally thrive against teams who play open football...it's the defence that need to be on guard.
I'm very surprised how many people are advocating for a three-man midfield, with only two attacking midfielders. That puts way too much pressure on those two attacking players supporting Kane to create chances. It was a huge problem against Villa, and against Leicester, who work hard off the ball and aren't easy to breakdown (4 goals allowed in 5 games), it could lead to a stalemate in the first-half, when we need a fast start.
Our best football has always come with 3 attacking midfielders, and the Son/Eriksen/Lamela triumvirate tends to play well together, as they each have particular skills that mesh with one another. Moura has a case to play, too, but I don't know that he blends well with Son and Lamela on the pitch together.
