Team vs Everton (A)

[Thewobbler]

If we can't beat a depleted everton then theres no hope.

I'm gonna say it.......

I really like both PEH and Ndombele but I'm not sure that I like them in our CM2 together, at least not whilst Jose is manager.

I feel like he just needs to go back to a more defensive CM2 that was working for us earlier in season. Whether that be PEH and Sissoko, I don't know but I'm sure there was talk of some pretty poor stats for us when PEH and Tanguy start together in that CM2.

Ndombele would be better in the 10 role IMO. It feels to me that he suits that position in the Premier League, even if he was brilliant for Lyon when playing deeper. I also hope that Son, Kane and Bale start in the front 3.

Anyway, no idea which Spurs we'll get. Maybe the team that pasted likes of Palace etc or will it be another 5-4 like in the cup. I doubt it. Maybe we should let Everton score first to give us the kick up the arse we need.

All I know is win and it's a good wknd, lose and it's Jose one step closer to the sack.

I believe Ancelotti said earlier in the week he's expecting most of their key missing players back for our game.

Bale and Toby have to play. And see out the season at that. It's not a case of 'if it's isn't broken...', it's a case of 'it's very broken' and as such you can do a lot worse than just play your best fucking players and hope for the best.

 

[fuzzylogic]

Will miss the first half due to work, will probably miss the second half by choice ?

 

[cozzo]

We will score first, but won't win

Rumours are we've gone 3 ATB

Shudders

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Three at the back and sissoko in he wants to get sacked

 

[WannaDanceWithUdogie]

Three at the back and sissoko in he wants to get sacked

Sissoko with a three in the back is suicide

I'm too apathetic to even let loose a primal scream at this horrible news.

3 At the back is practice for the cup final

3 At the back is practice for the cup final

But it's apparently Rodon, Dier and Toby. If it was practice for the cup final, why would he start the cup-tied Rodon?

 

[Tyler24durden]

3 atb versus a depleted Everton with their star striker.

give me strength.

rodon and Toby as back 2 and actually put bale son and Kane up top and attack for a change.

 

[chrisd2k]

Lloris
Aurier Tanganga Rodon Reggie
PEH
Lo Celso Tanguy
Son Kane Bale

Good point

Unless he's practicing shape so obviously Sanchez will come in but we will see if it's true later.

 

[faymantaray]

Jose has ordered the mother of all buses for the cup final.

 

[chrissivad]

Sissoko with a three in the back is suicide

I just can't work out who would play where.

Sissoko as a RFB, CM or Winger?
If you still have Hojbjerg and Ndombele then just Kane and Son up top...

 

[WannaDanceWithUdogie]

Dier starts..

 

[gavspur]

I would have gone:

4-3-2-1
........lloris
Aurier Toby Rodon Reggy
....Hojbjerg Sissoko
.......Ndombele ......
....LoCelso Son....
....... Kane.....

But if he’s gone three at the back?? Anyone’s guess.
