It makes me a bit nervous that Son, Eriksen, and Lamela all seem to be passing around a good-luck/form charm that only one of them can hold at any given time.Why Shite your pants cause of Aguero and De Bryune (Injured BTW!!!) ??? When we have Son and Lamela!!!
Son did well tonight at CF?I just wonder if Poch will decide to start Son up top following his goalscoring form and the fact that Lamela, Eriksen and Son can play behind them with Dembele coming into central midfield.
I personally wouldn't do such a thing simply because I don't feel Son works well as a centre forward, but it'd certainly be a brave call.

Take a look at @SpursOfficial's Tweet:
Come on you spurs
A few things about those highlights (which I watched 5 times mind you):
1) Kane was so fucking composed on his goal. How many players and great ones at that would have skied it by trying to hit it too hard?
2) The tense build up during Lamela's goal is great. There was almost a strange silence with the fans behind the goal hoping that he didn't fuck that up which he beautifully didn't and the crowd behind the goal blows up at the same time. Put a smile on my face.
Getting me excited for Sunday!

It all depends how the opposition sets them selves up against us-how we should play him? At the moment, he wants to score goals, he's looking to score goals. He is not looking for assists or running down the flanks to get behind defences to cross. It worked last night at the end, making him hold the line as our only forward. He's best playing off a CF, being flexible , thats the way forward for him and us as a team.I've seen him play there enough to know he's better on the wing - we need a focal point, someone whos movement and strength will put pressure on City's fragile defence.
pep plays possession football and I think fast counter attack is key to break their defense. I noticed Son deep in the penalty area when defending the corners, but he should be out near the center ready to counter with his speed. He's really good at counter attack and I've seen him making some ridiculous play when he's in front with space.
THis is what i am talking about
