Well I would take that, prefer Kane and Soldado tbh, but I suppose I could accept a Kane/Adebayor partnership
I agree. Let's pick this up again in the Stoke OMT

Early kick off. 6pm. I actually like the time. Hope we stuff them. Kane hatrick. But a part of me hopes Soldado scores a hatrick. Don't know why I want him to succeed so much. Hope this is his night.
Provisional squad: Vorm, McGee, Miles, Dier, Rose, Davies, Chiriches, Fazio, Vertonghen, Dembele, Capoue, Stambouli, Mason, Paulinho, Lamela, Chadli, Townsend, Eriksen, Kane, Soldado.
Friedel, Naughton, Kaboul, Lennon, Bentaleb, Ade and Kyle Walker have not travelled.
Guess it will be something like
Vorm - Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies - Stambouli, Dembele - Eriksen, Lamela, Townsend - Kane
I think we're going to lose this one;
1) we were lucky to get such a big scoreline last time (clinical finishing from Kane!)
2) The group is tight and they are no mugs; all talk of us looking to get a comfortable win seems delusional given our current (mostly) dysfunctional play
3) The OMT is another late late arrival; i'm sure we lost the last game where the OMT started this late..?
Whilst i wouoldn't want us to lose, if we then went on to beat Stoke I could live with it
I think this is going to be very tough. We all know even though we hammered them, it was never a 5-1 type of game.
I can see us maybe getting a plucky draw. Ideally we need a win though, Besiktas are no mugs and they will be looking at winning this group for sure.
Any official team news yet ?
Hope we put up a good team. Don't want to see any unknown youngsters. Will be happy if Lamela starts. Hope we will put up a good match and get a comfortable win.
Anyone else think this line-up might be a strong indication on the future of Chiriches and Paulinho at the club? If they can't even get starts here the way back to a regular PL position seems very long...
So McGee and Miles are both GKs
I'd like to see:
Vorm
Dier-Fazio-Chiriches-Davies
Stambouli-Dembele
Townsend-Paulinho-Chadli
Soldado
With Sunday:
Lloris
Naughton-Fazio-Verts-Rose
Capoue-Mason
Lamela-Eriksen-Kane
Soldado
I'd be surprised if both are here after January.

Chadli does not deserve to be dropped on Sunday.
