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

Where’s vertonghen??

Thought Id read this morning he was injured.

 

[milo]

I think that we'll see Sanchez alongside either Alderweireld or Vertonghen a lot this season. We risk getting done for pace otherwise.

 

[fernadez]

Vertonghen has done his back, being saved for City.

 

[milo]

Moura and Lamela have been excellent in pre-season, you can see the logic in starting them ahead of Eriksen.

#thfc Eriksen benched. Vertonghen misses out with small injury.

Think I would prefer a small injury rather than the contract dispute that I read earlier

Cheers,missed that

I said it before and I’ll say it again, Eriksen wanted a change, and being dropped to be a sub is a change. Enjoy, Christian!

Diamond with lamela in the eriksen role behind Kane and lucas?

 

[DeanoAustin]

Disappointing Parrott is not on the Bench for an attacking option. Where is Jan>?

Eriksen on the Bench tells me a lot about his situation at the club.

Feels a bit likes Berbatov up at Middlesbrough. I hope I’m wrong.

Not delighted with that team but Poch probably didn’t have much in the way of options.

Happy to see Eriksen dropped

 

[JerusalemMan]

Saw a tweet earlier today saying he had been left out due to a contract dispute

SOunds like scare-mongering

Hopefully more of a 4-3-3, but I fear it's the diamond now you've said that.

Where’s vertonghen??

Vertongone

I think we all knew it might happen due to everything. But in the back of your mind you are thinking he is still going to be playing. Seems we are
going to get ready for life without him. So that is why I am surprised that Lo Celso is not even on the bench. Surely he is fit enough for that?

The cynic in me would comment on how one often magically causes the other!

I’d be surprised with Jan though. Saving him for next match sounds more likely if he has a tweak. We’ll see I guess.

Very interested to see how he goes, ways thought Lamela was well suited to a more central position

Maybe he's got a bit of transferitis or contractitis
