Who knows, but based on yesterday, I'd make 4 changes. Sanchez for Dier, Aurier for Trippier, Sissoko for Dembele and Lamela for Dele. Rose wasn't brilliant, but I'd keep him at LB to gain more match fitness.

Dier will play either in a back three or in midfield at the very least until two of Sanchez, Wanyama and Alderweireld are back.
What has Sissoko done to deserve a start?
Trippier had a terrible time against Sane with little protection, but Burnley and Southampton don't have Sane. Perhaps Aurier is the right choice in one of the next games, but Trippier has shown that he has enough quality in games like these for me to think that him starting would be a fine decision.
I would definitely be for Lamela getting a start very soon.

Compared to Sissoko? I don't have the time make all the possible arguments in response to that... Played a lot better over a very long time is the short answer.

Dier has not been playing anywhere near good lately. Sissoko at least brings some effort.
Yay, the effort argument again.

Shame he can’t pass or tackle
Or trap a ball, or read a game, or even just stay out of the way of the professionals.

Dier looks in need or a rest because of mental fatigue.

Whatever it is, he's not performing how was before, and he should be rested/benched

I agree.
Our CM yesterday was a joke and i see Winks seems to be getting most of the flack for that when in all honesty Dembélé was and has been poor for a while now.
And we never will have that mindset until we actually win something.
He has been poor lately. He's also best mates with Dele as well, could just be form as both are young but could also be both are tinkled off. I don't think Dier works in a back 2, he doesn't fill me with confidence there. In a back 3 I'm fine with it but would prefer him in midfield. Once Sanchez is back at the weekend he can move back into midfield and if we still want to play a 5 then Davies can play at CB.

He's been just as poor in midfield this year. Although he had one game there where I thought he's was coming back to his best, only to be worse than I've ever seen him in midfield the next game.

Dier has been alright at worst apart from the City have, even then it was only really the last 20 minutes he was poor.
Sissoko has been alright at best. I see no reason to think he would have been any better than anyone else in the City game had he started.

Ah yes, that one again. Except it hardly worked after our League Cup win in 2008 when we managed a total of just four wins out of the next 20. We ended up 11th that season then followed up with the infamous 2pts from 8 games and Ramos getting the sack.
Or maybe you're referring to our previous trophy win in 1999? Except that time we won just two out of our remaining ten games immediately following the Final and finished 11th that time too.
And going back to our trophy win in 1991 we ended up a glorious 15th the following season.
Yes of course it's perfectly possible that a trophy win might change our mindset, but history suggests it could just as easily go the other way.

Sorry mate but that is a stupid comparison, unless you are saying that our team we have now is no better then those you mentioned? Chalk and cheese mate and i have come to expect more from you then that.
