**Official OMT** - Who's going to the season opener? (Not an OMT)

Man of the match

I think we will see...


Lloris

KWP Toby Jan Rose

Winks Ndombele

Lucas Lamela Eriksen

Kane


subs - Gazza, Sissoko, Parrott, Skipp, Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier

Pretty close. However I think he might just stick Sissoko in with Winks and Ndom so that Ndom doesn't have too much responsibility early on and can express himself.

I think it will be a diamond (not my preferred choice but Poch seems a fan) with Winks at the bottom, Sissoko right, Ndom left, then Eriksen OR Lamela at the tip with Kane and Moura up top.
 
GLC and Sess have come in too late on to be involved with the first 11. Not enough time for me to adjust and understand Poch / game tactics etc.
Not even sure if they're 100% fit? Wasn't GLC pulled from a couple of pre-season games?

So discounting those two, and with Sonny suspended and Dele, Serge, Foyth, Davies & Dier injured, and maybe Eriksen surplus? It certainly doesn't leave too many options...

--------------- Lloris ---------------
KWP ---- Toby --- Verts ---- Rose
------- Winks --- Tongeeee -------
----- Lamela ------- Eriksen? -----
------------------- Lucas -----------
--------------- Kane ---------------

Still think it's all very harsh on Sissoko who may spend a lot of season coming off the bench. He'll knock down further when Son, Dele and GLC all come in.

Should be enough to turn over Villa. But it's a little light to be travelling to the Etihad with!
 
With Alli, Foyth, Davies, Wanyama and Sessegnon injured.
Aurier, Dier coming back from injury.
Son suspended.
Lo Celso just arrived.
Poch not happy with Eriksen.

Team and formation pretty much picks itself.
------------------Lloris
KWP Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
------Sissoko--Winks--Ndombele
---------------Lamela
-------------Lucas Kane

Subs: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Tanganga, Skipp, Eriksen, Lo Celso, Parrott

This would be my expectation too. And its not a bad looking team at all
 
Lloris
Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose
Winks, Ndombele
Lucas, Eriksen, Lamela
Kane

Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Aurier, Dier, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Parrott
 
4-3-3 diamond

----------------Lloris---------------
KWP--Sanchez---Jan----Rose
-----Sissoko--Winks--Ndombele
---------------Eriksen
-----------Kane---Lucas

Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Aurier, Lamela, Skipp, Lo Celso, Parrott
 
With the injuries, I think it'll be something like this...

--------------Lloris------------
KWP---Toby-----JVT----Rose'
------------Winksy----------
----Sissoko--------Tanguy--
-----------Lamela----------
---Kane---------Sonny

We're winning.

If we win it’ll be without Son. Suspended.
