Off the ball hes fantastic but I think we’ll sooner need Sissoko protecting KWP than Lamela. Eriksen is better with the ball.
So who do you drop? Lamela for Moura ? Maybe ...
Think we need to fit in Sissoko in the team, for his overall physicality and non-stop work rate.Would go with:
Lloris, KWP, Toby, Verts, Rose, Winks, Ndombele, Lamela, Eriksen, Moura, Kane in a 4-2-3-1
Let’s see. He got a lot of praise against Villa, but let’s be honest it was a home game against a newly promoted side. This is gonna be his first REAL test. Will he step up or not..We've no other choice I know, but I think KWP is gonna get skinned alive against city. Hope I'm proved wrong.

Toby - Sanchez - Verts
KWP --------------------------- Rose
N'Dombele - Winks
Lucas - Eriksen - Lamela
Kane
I smuggled Lucas on in Jesus' kit bag...This might get a little congested? ?
I'm inclined to agree - he was dominating the midfield in the CL quarter-final 2nd leg before he got injured. What a change in CM from last season though!Sissoko has to start for me. We'll need his strength & hassling around the midfield.
