For me you don't need Lucas and Son on the same pitch, especially when Lamela is on.
I like Lucas, inthink he's been a cracking buy for the money but it's a squad game and he offers genuine quality for squad depth. If he develops further and improves fair enough, he's still to convince me that he can work with Sonny. I fancy he'll start a game or three over the next 3 weeks though with there being 6-7 games coming up.
This match makes me feel like I've been transported back to 2013.
As long as we take them seriously we should be fine.
They are in the Champions League for a reason and knocked out some serious opposition to get here. Taking them lightly is not an option.

Utter bo!!ocks.
Only saving grace is the 17:55 start
Leicester will be licking their lips.
Pochettino will need to be squad adept but once more the lack of a 2nd striker is bizarre.
we seem to perform better when we're in what appears to be a difficult group.
Surely fly Tuesday morning. Light training Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
Play Wednesday evening
I play Son, Kane, and Lucas in a 4-3-3 in FIFA and I destroy. Does that count?
Toby instead of Sanchez.
I think Pamela is on a yellow. We don't want another on Wednesday. Maybe rest him for Leicester
UEFA and the English refs have been having secret discussions.
I usually play 6 a side at 5!
Lloris
Aurier - Toby - Jan - Rose
Winks - Ndombele
Lucas - Eriksen - Son
Kane
Another fast start needed. We'll need to be at it from the off in whats going to be a tricky game with a hostile atmosphere. Sissoko on in the second half for that extra burst of pace from the midfield against tiring legs. Be nice for Dele to get some more minutes too. COYS!!!

Play the strongest 11 possible , we can see who is fit for Leicester after, but surely as this is the competition that every club wants to be in we need to go full strength every game?
No, but there's plenty who would shoehorn him in ahead of Lamela or Eriksen!
Maybe that's the point... we've been waiting for SO long to have a bench full of players who could easily start the game.... not just make up the numbers.
Look at our bench on Saturday:
- 12 Wanyama
- 15 Dier
- 20 Alli
- 22 Gazzaniga
- 27 Lucas Moura
- 28 Ndombele
- 33 Davies
Surely start with the strongest possible side? 3 points is essential and away games in the CL are never going to be easy...unless players are a bit injured or complaining of tiredness then the best 11 should start.
