I'm judging by the end of last season with Kane and without Walker and Rose. Like I said, individually in a 3 he could score one and be man of the match for his technical ability, but we dominated a lot more as a team with other players on the pitch. Son is proven as giving more goals so if he is fully fit you'd actually have to drop Alli to fit Eriksen in. I'm not opposed to changing it, but it's simply a case of that starting team is tried and tested as working better when we finished last season and no other one is yet.

Erikesn makes us gel, he is the one pulling the strings, could even say he is the guy at the orchestra waving the stick.....

I'm not saying it isn't better to watch Eriksen or he doesn't make us tick better in a 4. All I am saying is we are playing Sissoko at right-wing-back with a 3 so being more direct is better than ticking if we want to dominate this game, based on the last games we dominated at the end of last season. Given the choice in an ideal world, if everyone was at the same level of conditioning, I'd rather start with a team that tried and tested won by 5 than won by 1 with Eriksen MOM. But it's a nice headache for Poch. No doubt he can magic up something new too...
I just think regardless of formation if Eriksen is Plays well, spurs play well. But your right this is a great headache for Poch to have, and we haven't even made any signings yet!!
Interesting the Poch said we'll either play with Kyle Walker-Peters at RB in a back 4 as it's his "natural position" or Sissoko at RWB in a back three.
I would have said Walker-Peters would be perfect in a RWB role, surely? At least better than Sissoko in that role?

Sissoko with 3 own goals.

So Eriksen scoring a worldie to win us the game is the reason he shouldn't play?:vertna:
It's the football equivalent to being "too over qualified for the job" innit?
Thinking we'll see Sissoko at RWB to start. If we look terrible KWP will come in and we switch to a 4-2-3-1.

Can you imagine the Tsunami of Barcelona stories about Eriksen if we didn't pick him to start this one.
With a baton......That'll be the conductor then
I don't know much, but I know that bastard Mitrovic will score and that whoever they put in goal will put up a world class performance.
