Correct.
Son will likely be replaced by Lamela and Dier with Gio. Flip a coin in regards to who plays out of Tanganga, Dav and Toby.
Be like a new signing.
Team Form: Spurs - WDWWW --- Leipzig - LDLDW (All Competitions)
Subs: Gazzaniga, Tanganga, Vertonghen, Ndombele, Gedson, Sessegnon, Lamela
Subs: Gazzaniga, Tanganga, Vertonghen, Ndombele, Gedson, Sessegnon, Lamela
In your lineup, do you have GLC free, as in free to take the ball deep and move up in the attack? Or typical 10?
If a 10, I would replace Dier with Ndombele.
I think it'll be something like this, that almost looks like a 4-4-2 in defense with Dele and Lo Celso dropping deep. Some formational fluidity between the front four.
I agree I'd start Ndombele (or Gedson) over Dier but it seems that Mourinho likes Dier (perhaps because he can drop back and we can switch to 3 at the back on the fly?).
Dier is injured I think.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Tanganga, Vertonghen, Ndombele, Gedson, Sessegnon, Lamela
Fingers crossed dier is nowhere near tonight's first team. Have to start lo celso and ndombele. A front 3 of lamela moura bergwijn if possible. half day at work then off to the lane to get on the neck oil
Yesterday while watching Dortmund game, I came up with good lineup that would do well against RBL -
---------------Lloris-------------
---Toby-Sanchez-Tanganga---
-Aurier--------------Sessegnon-
----Lo Celso---Winks----------
--------Ndombele--------------
-------------Alli------------------
------Moura------Bergwijn---
Today in the morning I realized that it would not work - just doubt we'd get away with fielding 12 players
But seeing how exposed we were against Villa and how much superior is Leipzig attack, I still feel we need to pack the midfield and defense more solidly. Plus here away goals are more valuable, so I'd be all up for playing with defense in our mind.
Maybe something like -
---------------Lloris-------------
---Toby-Sanchez-Tanganga---
-Aurier--------------Sessegnon-
----Lo Celso---Winks----------
--------Ndombele*--------------
-------------Alli------------------
---------Bergwijn---------------
* if Ndombelly not fit to start, use Gedson next to Winksy and switch Lo Celso higher
With such format the fullbacks could push up if their side CM would tuck in to cover. I don't feel like Ndombele would be defensively responsible enough / would have legs to do it, so Lo Celso and Winks would be tasked with it. Alli would play "shadow striker" so would make runs and arrive to box in right time. But we should try to hold the ball, switch flanks and play cleaver "triangles" instead of hoofing the ball up for Bergwijn/Alli to take down the long balls.
This would also give us a chance to bring on Moura later in the game as fresh pair of feet, and sacrifice Sess for someone more creative (Lamela?) if the situation demands it, and transform to back 4 without an issue.
COYS!!!

Totally agree as we need him for Chelsea
Seeing as we have literally nobody capable of holding the ball up at the front, gonna have to play this clever.
10 MAN DEFENCE!

Who is your club?
Literally don't have one, mate. Supporting a club makes no sense to me so I'm strictly England (yeah, it's every bit as painful as it sounds).
