let's be honest when this applies to Wanyama it doesn't mean he's back, it means he'll play rather ponderously and a bit shit.

:avbpray:Moura for manana would be perfect.
Sissoko for 15 mins if we are holding on.
Wanyama just to be back sounds good.
Great support.
Very true to be fair.
It's coming up to 2 full years since Wanyama had a decent game for us.
We can only hope though. There was a time where King couldn't play at all and suddenly was playing every week for us. Obviously in a less demanding team but we can hope!
I honestly thought some of Dembeles best work was last season too, hope Vic comes back strong, although with Dier and Sissoko back and winks doing well there is less emphasis on this
I thought he was just getting back in the saddle the last time, nothing as commanding as his first season, but he was able to go with runners, it was his ability to dribble that went completely missing.
More importantly, there is a degree of cover as we play again every 3 days against teams that aren't.
The one positive about no players is it will be hard to predict how we will set up...
Apparently they've failed to meet the deadline to register Higuain for the match. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing for us though...
I can see it now..
Chelsea go one up in the first 15 seconds,and press us for the remainder of the game.
Then in the 18th minute of added on time,Sissoko launches a screamer in the top left hand corner of Chelsea's goal to take us into the final.
It's such a shame we barely got a seasons worth out of the Dembele/Wanyama partnership over 3 seasons.
Imagine if we had them for 3 seasons solid. Our record with them two in central midfield as a pair in the Premier League is beyond ridiculous.
Played: 22
Win: 14
Drawn: 5
Lost: 3
Scored: 47
Conceded: 19
That is their record together in the Premier League. In 3 seasons, 22 games played out of a possible 99 games. But a whopping 60% win ratio and our only losses come away at Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford and Anfield. Less than a goal conceded a game and on average 2 goals a game. For two players in central midfield who get barely any goals or assists, that's very impressive. Absolute beasts.

Just checking now, I genuinely cannot remember him starting in our win away at Palace this season but he played 90 minutes - but Spurs win. Cleansheet. Wanyama starting. Starts to make sense now.
He pretty much started our last 4 games at the end of last season and I actually thought he was poor. Failed to track his man plenty of times, almost as if he was running in tar at times. Either way, I think a fit Wanyama, even to be able to have on the bench, is a great thing to have.
Moura and Sissoko 'in contention' to play tomorrow, Wanyama at the weekend.
Doesn't mean they will play but might add confidence just being in the bench
