Team v West Ham

[double0]

Good point, you just know we would lose s player for Chelsea game!

Regardless we have a strong unbeaten squad.

I just hope after this international break we hit our top form.

 

[hughy]

Depends whose fit. So far, Dembele, Eriksen and Janssen have picked up knocks this break. If they are out along with Toby, Alli and Lamela still then we're really not in great shape. Especially with Son coming back on a long 11 or 12 hour flight on Wednesday as he has a game tomorrow.

We could be looking at a midfield of Wanyama, Winks, Sissoko, Onomah, and N'Koudou.

Never really understood why a long flight on Wednesday would affect a player for a Saturday evening game. Injury permitting he should still get 2 training sessions with us on Thursday and Friday, and it's not as if he doesn't know Poch's tactics/game plan.

Because for a start he wouldn't do 2 training sessions on Thursday after a long flight, he would have the day off. Takes 48hrs to fully recover from long haul flight

Is the South Korea game the friendly against Canada?

If so, I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that Son will be rested for that game.

No. It was a WCQ against Uzbekistan which S.Korea won 2-1.
Son played the whole game but I think he went away unscathed other than being booked in 2nd half stoppage time.

Stay with the new tactics or go with the back 4 again?
We definitley need three points to keep contact with the top 4 and regain some confidence.
Needless to say it is always a must win versus West Ham.

I quite like the idea of having our full backs higher up the pitch, so I'd probably try it once more. Would be interested to see Kane and Janssen both starting and getting on the end of some crosses the fbs deliver.

--------------------------Lloris---------------------------
-----------Dier---------Alderweireld---Vertonghen--------
--Walker---------Wanyama----Dembele----------Rose----
---------------------------Eriksen----------------------------------
-----------------Kane------------------Janssen------------------

Subs: Vorm, Wimmer, Trippier, Winks, Lamela, Son, Sissoko/ NKoudou

Like this a lot! Would only be tempted to start Sonny up top with Kane as they have a slightly different style of play to them, but certainly having Janssen on the bench and come on after an hour or so if things aren't going our way. Would like to see GKN get a healthy amount of time too! Maybe even a Winks appearance if we can!

If those players are back and fit enough to start I can see that being the team, which I'd be more than happy with.

Son and Wanyama coming back from far flung international jaunts so it a doubt they will start. Poch usually benches Son after these trips anyway.

Dier slapped Dele as he was walking behind him down the stairs. Dele's knee was strapped up. Can't see him being available for Saturday

At least he was in training. Toby and Lamela are definitely still out as they missed training.

You can be happy with that team? That team is our best XI if everyone is fit.

From Poch: Davies, Toby and Lamela are out. Alli is doubtful. Everyone else is supposedly available

Lloris
Walker Dier Vertonghen Rose
Wanyama Dembele Winks
Eriksen Kane N'Koudou

Vorm, Wimmer, Trippier, Onomah, Sissoko, Son, Harrison

I doubt Vince is available despite people saying he is. He suffered a concussion. I'll be surprised if he's in the 18

How do you know this? is there training video somewhere?

Wanyama Dembele
Sissoko Eriksen Son
Kane

I doubt Son was in training today and will likely come off the bench on Saturday. He had a 12 hour trip back yesterday.

So

Lloris
Walker Dier Vertonghen Davies
Wanyama Dembele
Sissoko Eriksen Son
Kane

Davies is out.

 

[archiewasking]

Pffft. Flightweight.

I think Walker will be rested for Monaco. I wish Rose didn't feature against Spain, with Davies out, we needed to decrease his gametime and manage his fitness. I can see Wimmer stepping in as CB and Vert moving to LB for Monaco.
