10 right backs breaking as a unit. Totti is writing a paper on it right now
Chadli shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11
If we move Alli into CM, I imagine we would move Eriksen central and play Onomah on the left. I doubt Jansen will get the start. If I had to guess though, same line up as we had against Everton.
Who moves back, Eriksen or Dele? And who plays in DM? Victor or Eric?
You're ahead of your time, mate. Don't worry though, in 20 years everyone will be playing like this.
Why are people assuming we'll have the same line-up like the one against Everton? It clearly didn't work then, and we improved a lot with the sub. Surely Poch isn't so naive as to start with the same failed stuff as he did last week?
I doubt we'll start with 2 DM's against Palace... but whether that's to accommodate Janssen in a 2-up front attack I dunno...
I think Poch should stick to the same sort of system that worked so well last year... just trying to work out "who plays Dembele"
'cos Dier AND Wanyama together clearly didn't work...
[formation="4213, Vorm, Walker, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Rose, Dier/Wanyama, Bentaleb/Carroll?, Dele, Lamela, Kane/Janssen, Eriksen"] [/formation]

If we dropped players because it didn't work once, we probably wouldn't have kept Dier in at DM. He looked very shaky when he originally started there but within a few weeks made it his own. Poch knows what he's doing, he knows the team he played against Everton will work but he also knows they may need a little time to gel.
That formation hurts my eyes. We were closer to a 4411 than we were a 4213 last year. But more realistically it was a 4231.
I'm sorry for being pedantic, but it just looks wrong.
Bentaleb won't even be on the bench.
I was just saying that last season we started this same fixture with dele and dier in CM and had Chadli, Son, Lamela, and Kane as the front 4.
Disappointed to see you've came back if I'm honest. Should probably just slap you on ignore.
You must have some American blood coursing through your veins with all that OTT optimism!! Where do you get all your confidence from...?
...tone it down a little... this is an English Football club... we can't cope with such positivity!
Leaves us a tiny bit open.
