I personally would like to see:

Lloris
Aurier Toby Dier Reggie
Winks PEH Ndombele
Berg Kane Son

Sissoko is good for the big games but we need someone who moves the ball quicker and can help us unsettle defences. He is still defensive enough for Mourinho to be happy with him & PEH
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd change Winks for Lo Celso - Winks will just turn our play into endless side passes
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Winks shouldn`t and won`t be anywhere near the 1st XI for a while now. Whatever possesses anybody to think he could hold a place down in the current set up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree.

He could be used against the lower sides, like in Carabao cup, but he is out of his depth against better oppositions/players.

It's nice for once we are in a situation where most of us can name a very similar side. It shows stability and also most of the players performing
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Even yesterday, he was completely anoymous first half, until he was subbed, all he did was give away free kicks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In that position, the player has to be imposing, keep it simple, and look for a forward pass whenever, as well as get to the second ball asap. He got shunted off the ball twice and he tried to impose himself but then faded fast. Really he has the opportunity to make it difficult for Jose to drop him, but he's still coasting through games. With PEH, he is chasing players, chasing the ball an reading the situation all the time.

Winks could do worse than watch PEH and learn

Harry Winks ready to speak to Spurs about his future with Euros place at stake, but Levy thought to be more likely to agree Dele Alli loan #thfc

Matt Law on Twitter.

See you later Harry if that's the case.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some players stay and put in the hard work and try to improve themselves.

Some move from club to club, and find it hard to take criticism or being dropped.

Winks was pretty good yesterday; some people change their narrative to fit the agenda. Basically did the PEH role and did it well.

Tbf we only developed the back 6 tactic the last three PL games and didn’t do that against WBA/Burnley/Brighton when Sissoko was in the side. Largely because we didn’t have to but as always having Sissoko dropping deep to receive the ball from the defence just doesn’t work

We've basically got about 6 players now in the right forward position.

when people are picking Winks, do they mean conceptually, or are they are actually suggesting that harry winks starts ?

_________Hugo
Aurier__Toby-Dier__Davies
_____Winks__PEH
Bale____Ndombele___Son
_________Kane

Based on the fact we don’t need Sissoko for this game or a Moura/Stevie defending in their own half, and Reg played all last night and is needed for the Liverpool game.

Then for Liverpool

________Hugo
Aurier_Toby_Dier__Reguillon
____Sissoko_PEH
Stevie___GLC____Son
________Kane

Stevie because although he’s not as good a finisher as Lucas he’s better at retaining possession. GLC because he’s more combative than Ndombele.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reg can play both Palace and Liverpool.

I think Bale will get a start vs Palace.

The one question mark is that Zaha plays down that side so maybe he wants Sisokko in to double team that right hand side, especially if Bale is doing less defending than Berg might

I think Bale needs a start, for his own confidence if nothing else. Really want to see what he can do alongside Kane and Son as we havent really had that chance much.

________Hugo

Lo Celso to come on for NDomb as usual

Lucas or Bergy for Bale

Who do you suggest we rotate Siss/PEH with when we’ve got 4 games in 10 days or whatever it is?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Winks is nowhere near as bad as some people are making out.

It was only a short while ago most people wouldn't have Sissoko in the starting 11 and look at how he's played in recent weeks.

'Fans' seem to turn so quickly.

Not so long ago Dier was terrible, Aurier a liability, Toby over the hill, Ndombele not good enough etc.

actually I hadn't realised Liverpool was midweek.

it's a shame that game and palace aren't the other way round.

working back from Lester, I'd go:

LESTER

Aurier Toby Dier Reg
Sissoko/PEH NDom/Winks
----------Lo Celso
Bale Son Kane


LIVERPOOL
Aurier Toby Dier Davies Reg
Sissoko/PEH Lo Celso
Berg/Lucas Kane Son

PALACE
Doh Rodon Dier Reg
Bale Kane Son

actually fak knows.

They're a famously defensive team under hodgson

I doubt Jose will change his first XI to much, he likes stability in the Prem. Ndombele never last more than an hour, so may start Lo Celso against Palace, and Ndombele against Liverpool or vice versa. Almost certain that Sissoko will start both, because of this engine for the whole 90 minutes.

Watching the game last night, it alerted me to just how rapid gio can be. I don't know whether this has been tried before but when he's in full flow he reminds me a little bit of Salah. Could we not give him a go at the right of the front three alongside Kane and Son? That allows Ndombele to come into midfield who is crucial at connecting defence and attack. He might not be as sharp in front of goal as Salah but it's got to be worth a bash. I reckon he'd be a massive improvement on Bergwyn. Just a thought!

Lo Celso has to start on Sunday, he was immense yesterday.

He should be OK to play consecutive games, he's been very in and out of the team this season.

Squad options

LB - Reg, Davies
RB - Aurier, Doh
LCB - Dier, Tanganga
RCB - Toby, Rodon, Sanchez
DM1 - PEH
DM2 - Sissoko
CM/AM - NDom, Gio, Dele
LF - Son
CF - Kane, Vinicius
RF - Bale, Berg, Lamela, Lucas, Gio, Clarke

Berg is a LF really
and Rodon a LCB

Lo celso and Ndombele especially should play deeper some games as well. Def a DM light though, interested to see how Skipp will do hopefully he can stake a claim to start next season.
