From what i've seen of him Jansen seems much more adept at holding the ball up with his back to goal than Kane. It seems to 'stick' more, this type of skill is vital at the top level. So I'd stick with Kane coming deeper. We need to give Jansen a chance to bed in before making judgements. i'm sure he'll score a hat full.

Isn't because at Newcastle and for France he plays on the right?
I agree with people who suggest Lamela should start on the bench. Helluva journey to recover from. Save him for Monaco.
Also gives Moussa an opportunity to show us what 30m gets.

Lamela is a key player at this form, but one of him and Eriksen should get a least half a game of R&R against Stoke - too few fans realise just how many games we are playing in 21 days!
Sissoko is made for the Stoke game IMHO.
So you think Sissoko is a right winger. Ok. Moving on...
He plays as the ride sided center mid in a flat 4-3-3 for France, a formation we don't play. He played both central midfielder and ride sided midfielder for Newcastle.
This has to be the 1500th version of this question to have been asked on this forum since two weeks before the Everton game. This is the last game of Dembele's suspension. He is eligible to participate in all games after this one unless he gets suspended again.
Vorm(I want the captain for Monaco)
Trippier Toby Vert Davies (I think Rose will be saved and expect full rotation)
Dier Wanyama
Sissoko Alli Eriksen
Janssen (I think this is a game we should try to win without Kane)
Lloris, Wimmer, Walker, Winks, Son, Kane, N'Koudou.
I could be talked into moving Sissoko in to the two and putting Son or N'Koudou in the three behind which might offer a more aggressive lineup.
For me, this is a must win game if we want to keep up.
You can guarantee one-two of Chelsea, City or United will win. Being 6-7 points behind already would be a disaster this early on in the season, as I think they're only going to become better and more consistent.
Lose this and the title is starting to disappear into the distance already.
Takes the piss when we support a team that takes a month or 2 to even get going. Sigh.

Mate we'll be nowhere near the title this year.
While it's good to aim for it, top four and one of the cups would be an excellent season
I think we should be competing for it, at least. Win it? No. But to finish fourth and 15 points off the title or something would be a bit of a failure for me.
City and United playing each other so its a good opportunity to gain some ground back on them.
I've got a feeling Son will start with Sissoko and Lamela being away for internationals midweek. Pace and directness could cause Stoke problems.
Lloris
Walker Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies
Wanyama Dier
Son Dele Eriksen
Kane
Vorm Trippier Sissoko Nkoudou Lamela Janssen Onomah.
I see Sissoko being used more in a central role while players like Son, Onomah and N'Koudou will be the back ups for our AM slots. The notion everyone seems to have of him playing as a winger seems absolutely absurd.
I don't think Poch has ever taken a huge notice of internationals etc. Lamela had the Copa America only a week-2 before preseason, yet he was still taken and played.
I'd expect Lamela to start, Sissoko on the bench. I agree that we could see Son in for Alli or Eriksen though.
This, jesus christ. I don't understand why people suddenly feel he's going to be an AM, when he scored 1 goal all last season.
Seems quite obvious that he's going to be the Dembele back up, making runs forward.
Remember, Poch got asked recently about Dembele and replied, "Tottenham does not exist without him". Joking or not, you think he'd make a claim like that, go out and buy no one? He's clearly trying to bring someone in with the same attributes (Power, pace, ability to run past people and make a decent pass/assist)
Is that what I said?
I said that for France and for Newcastle he played on the right.
I don't select or even support those teams.
That said, I've seen him play on the right a lot more than anywhere else. If he can play in the middle; happy days.
Where is he going to play for us - I've no idea, and its not my job to decide either.
Yeah I don't come on often anymore and I'm too lazy to sift through hundreds of pages.
Totally unfair if Lloris goes straight back into the starting X1.
