He might well against Stoke, but then again is unlikely to start with so little training time under Poch.
Impact sub would be my guess. Possibly for Dier/Wanyama, possibly for an AM.
Agreed. Though we can't be sure how much training N'Koudou has actually had with the squad, plus will be less fatigued than some of our other players due to not playing internationals.
His best position is cm
Mental if you think we can rest them
Hasn't he been training at 'Hotspur Way' ever since he visited that French Barber's Shop??
People seem to forget that this time last season, Kane hadn't scored and we hadn't won a game. Let's not hit panic stations yet that we aren't playing at 100%.
I'd like to see us go 2 up top here and put pressure on their back line, but it'll be another midfield battle. Sissoko and N'Kouduo to come on from the bench.
Have Wanyama and Dier in the middle as Stoke do have some talent, especially in Arnie and Shaqiri. Bony is good on his day as well.

Bony will definately score against us, put your money on it.
I think we'll see something along these lines:
Vorm
Trippier Toby Jan Davies
Wanyama Sissoko
Lamela Son Eriksen
Janssen
Bring N'Koudou on as an early sub for Eriksen and Dele as a sub for Lamela. Have Sissoko shift to the middle and have Son out wide.
That will allow us to play a strong team against Monaco midweek. I don't necessarily think we NEED to play our very strongest team against Monaco, but given the occasion I think we should. We've seen how much the atmosphere sours when Poch puts out weak sides in other competitions. It would be awful if our first match at Wembley had that cloud looming over it.

I'll take that bet.

scratchy 3-0 win for me
Jannsen x2, Toby
Jannsen x2, Toby
Hope Rose scores
I think we'll see Son back in the starting XI this Saturday. Lamela plays for Argentine Wednesday night, so won't be back in the UK until late Thursday I presume, so he might be left out of this one. Sissoko and N'Kodou will be in the bench I expect along with Jansen and Wimmer.
Vorm
Walker, Toby, Verts, Rose
Dier, VW
Son, Dele, Eriksen
Kane
Subs: Lopez, Wimmer, Trippier, Sissoko, N'Kodou, Lamela, Jansen
Prediction - everyone will talk about how good our bench looks before kick off.

Yeah but we'll be 3-0 up when he does so in the grand scheme of things....
Hope Rose scores as it will really piss their fans off.
