the problem I have with playing eriksen son and alli from the start, as well as kane, is that it leaves us nothing at all on the bench if it doesn't go to plan.
for example on Saturday...
whats happened to N'Kondu?
No we have Llorente mate. Keep getting told he’s a very good player
Bring Alli on from the bench if he’s so good at chipping in with important goals and assists.
There’s no IF about it
You know if Son starts ahead of dele you’d be the one calling him clown shoes if he doesn’t instantly produce.
Fickle fan
I really wouldn’t, and I never call Son clown shoes. I just want to see a player dropped because he’s looking like a passenger most games. I understand the arguement about contribution, but if that’s the case let him chip in off the bench. You can’t call me a fickle fan winot any proof of that, just my opinion.
Didn't he go through a poor patch at some point last season before going on a ridiculously good run of form? I'm sure it's not far around the corner for him.
is Dele the real problem, surely the issue is that we cant get behind the defences now since walker left and rose,s injury/ form has gone down, this has been an issue all season, even last season we had problems with bus parking defences, Dele was the only one that got behind on Saturday to supply the cross for Kanes goal

Why give someone 10 mins when we have no one better for the other 80?
He’s never a passenger, he’s always trying stuff, he’s making himself available. He doesnt always come off for him for sure and could get a bit more basic sometimes but without him we’d look far worse.
Eriksen & Kane have been as bad or worse but don’t see them getting any of this.

You really don’t think he’s dropped off this season? He’s been horrible to watch at times this season. This isn’t a chip on my shoulder, I’d be more than happy for him to turn up for the whole 90 at some point and prove me wrong. Kane and Eriksen have been far more consistent, and they are always involved in the game unlike Alli. Id simply play a 343, Eriksen Kane Son up top.

Dropped off from what? He played exactly the same last season at this stage then built up to a incredibly high standard after Xmas period.

No. Why? Lack of options, just as we had last season.
Pretty sure he’s not the only one not hitting the heights of the second half of last season, so surely this is a question to be posed at several of our players? For example wasn’t Trippier loading up on assists vs cannon fodder during that stretch last season, hasn’t replicated that this season so....

But he’s already showing up and doing his job
Depends what you mean by showing up. Being anonymous for most the game then chipping in eventually. Would just rather see players involved in the game more from the start.
Hopefully Lamela returning will have Dele and Eriksen looking over their shoulders for the first time this season
Is the new Kane doesn't score in August. Dele doesn't start playing at a high standard til Xmas?
I personally don't want him dropped - I think he's always a dangerous player to keep on as he can pop up with a goal or an assist. He's certainly no Chadli who on paper / statistically looked a good player but watching him offered zero else.
^but I'll add to that, he's been very frustrating to watch recently in the league. The ball bounces off him / loses it constantly. He's having a bad patch performance wise, BUT he still makes the all-important telling contribution in games hence me not wanting him dropped.
Flashy
Is he playing great No, is he playing rubbish No
He’s playing okay and still contributing significantly to the team.
It’s not like we have a bench of stars to bring on is it.
Anyway that’s me done on the matter
Definitely just a difference of opinions. Always a chance he won’t start due to it being a mid week game, either way I’d expect us to win comfortably.
