ShipOfTheseus
Clint Dempsey
Three at the back looking even more likely then.
Lloris
Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies
Winks, Dembele
Lamela, Dele, Lucas
Kane
Gazzaniga, Foyth, Aurier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Son, Llorente
When Ledley was ailing I kept hoping a surgeon somewhere would announce a new procedure. Essentially if cartilege has gone, just slip in some plastic substitute...Not good news about Wanyama. He didn't look right, especially in the 2nd half. Saw the game again yesterday, and he was actually pretty ok in the 1st half, but after the break he looked totally shot.
Unfortunately it seems like he's got the Sandro syndrome and his knees are gone.
Foyth doesn't need to be registered, as he's under 21.Both Wanyama and dier being injured at the same time presents some quite significant issues as it therefore relies on dembele and Winks to be fit enough to play 3 games in 7 days - which I suspect doesn't happen very often. Fortunatley Sissoko has found some relative levels of form but whether he is best placed to sit in a deep 2 alongside Winks or dembele seems doubtful.
I believe Foyth was not registered for UCL so can't play Tuesday meaning that Toby and Sanchez will have to play; with Sanchez having played Monday and Wednesday this may force Poch into resting him tomorrow to play Foyth alongside Toby -basically any injury for Toby or Sanchez at Wolves means that either Ben davies or TJ Eyoma plays against PSV.
So with this in mind I'm predicting that tomorrow we line up:
(4-2-3-1) Lloris; Trippier, Foyth,Toby, davies; Eriksen, dembele; Lucas, dele, Sonny; Kane (subs - Gazzaniga, sanchez, Aurier, Winks, Sissoko, Lamela, Llorente)
Wolves
.................Lloris
Trippier...Foyth...Toby...Davies
......Sissoko....Dembele..........
Eriksen......Dele.....Son.

Winks on at 65 for Dembele
PSV
Gazza

But basically its as much as a physio choice as a poch choice this week
Big Opportunity for Skipp and Foyth to stake claims for squad places
What play Gazzinga for all 3?I can't see us changing keeper through these fixtures.
