If Son is fit, I'd play this team (but with Eriksen on the right and Son on the left).

If Son isn't fit, then play Sissoko at rwb and play 3421 (same players).

It will be all of those things at certain points of the game, be it Son or Sissoko.

Hopefully not with Son ending up in the wing-back position...

Hope he is fit enough to start though, I think we'll kill them if we have Son, Dele, Eriksen and Kane on the pitch.

I think this is what we'll see, aside from Davies playing left back rather than Davis

Outside chance that KWP plays instead of Son or Sissoko. If he doesnt then expect Son to start rather than Sissoko

So Trippier is fit then? If so


---------------------Lloris
--------Dier--------Toby-------Verts
Trippier--------------------------Davies
-------------Wanyama-Dembele
---------------Eriksen-----Alli

Don't think so.

That makes sense to me. Always think it's better to try to replace like for like positionally to cover an injury, rather Han trying to shoe horn a bigger name in or move multiple people about.

Which would imply 3 at the back

Yep. Hopefully KWP will put in a stellar performance such that it convinces Poch to sign Sanchez from Ajax (ie CB who can cover at RB) rather than signing a RB who could potentially cover CB

I love him. Don't ever break my heart Poch.

 

[AdamB]

Interesting in the question about formation and right back on Sunday he didnt mention Dier

He said we could play KWP in a 4 or a 3 or Sissoko wing back.

So it will probably be Dier or Tony Jimenez

Keep them guessing. I like it.

Why shouldn't Son be fit? He's had a fractured ARM! I've competed in cross country skiing with a fractured arm.

 

[Dr Rosenrosen]

Badger. Magpie.



Grrr.



(I've no idea what that third photo has to do with anything, but it comes up in an image search for badgers. Apparently Brian May is keen on badgers. Go figure. Whatever, it's staying.)

I'm guessing because he missed games in pre-season, he might be a bit behind the others for match fitness and not ready for 90 minutes -- same goes for Victor. Hopefully they are both able to start.
