3 points needed from this match. How should we line up? I'm going with:
Gaz
Aurier Sanchez Toby Sessegnon
Ndombele Sissoko
Lucas Dele Eriksen
Kane

Subs: Vorm, Vertonghen, Foyth, Skipp, Lo Celso, Lamela, Parrott​

lol so Jose picked a team that SC wanted, didn't really work so what now? :D
If you can point out where any of us wanted to play 5 at the back and a midfield with no one capable of holding ....please feel free to find that exact post? As if you do then their morons and have not watched any of our matches for the last 12 months.

Remember in the 2015 League Cup final when Mourinho put in 20 year old CB Kurt Zouma at CDM and totally took our midfield out of the game. Kind of feel like we need a similar stroke of tactical genius. Just have Sanchez run around kicking people and then play it quickly to Ndombele and Lo Celso. It surely cannot be worse than now, our midfield is just so easily cut open.

Gazza
Aurier Alderweireld Vertonghen Sessegnon
Sanchez
Ndombele Lo Celso
Moura Kane Dele​

Not sure if you've thought this through, Sanchez who misjudges balls when in the air and struggles to pass, yeah think we can forget about that one :D

Perhaps we should try Moura at RB...

As an attacker he doesn't track back but is great at pressing and tackling. Limits his choices in possession too which he struggles with.

Tackling and running with the ball seem to be his main attributes.

However I'm finding myself caring less and less about most of this team...:(

Our head scout's first three key attributes for new signings should be;
1. Can he control a ball 8 times out of 10?
2. Can he make the correct decision under pressure?
3. Can he pass a ball to a team mate without taking ten touches and then playing it behind him?

how many of our current first team would meet that criteria?

I’m 100% grasping for straws here and it could be terrible but at least Sanchez is mobile and can put in a tackle. In terms of passing, just give up quickly to anyone around you, Makelele style hahah.

eenie meenie miney mo could unearth a tactical masterpiece.

And it can't be worse. Gazzanigga would have as much chance saving a shit low to his right playing on the left wing...

Depends how you look at it. On paper it was a very good team until you factor in tactics, form, fitness levels and several having never played together before and then the shit hits the fan.

That should be the case for every team picked.

I know the 352 didn’t work today and the players will still be fatigued when we play Southampton but they also play 352 therefore going like to like may to be our benefit as opposed to 4231 which resulted in us being played off the park against Chelsea’s 352. In saying that I would play a 433 and go with:

........................ Gazzaniga .....................
Lucky Dip.Sanchez.Alderweireld.Sessegnon
......Lo Celso... Sissoko... Ndombele......
................... Alli............ Eriksen ..............
.......................... Kane ............................

Vorm, Vertonghen, Tanganga, Dier, Winks, Lamela, Moura

Jan - sign a RB and DM
Summer - sign a LB and CB
